This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Machine Learning for Multimodal Interaction, MLMI 2004, held in Martigny, Switzerland in June 2004. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on HCI and applications, structuring and interaction, multimodal processing, speech processing, dialogue management, and vision and emotion.
