Abstract: Child behaviour is a topic of great scientific interest across a wide range of disciplines, including social sciences and artificial intelligence (AI). Knowledge in these different fields is not yet integrated to its full potential. The aim of this workshop was to bring researchers from these fields together. The first two workshops had a significant impact. In this workshop, we discussed topics such as the use of AI techniques to better examine and model interactions and children’s emotional development, analyzing head movement patterns with respect to child age. This workshop was a successful new step towards the objective of bridging social sciences and AI, attracting contributions from various academic fields on child behaviour analysis. This document summarizes the accepted papers.
