<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console"">In the aim of natural interaction with machines, a framework must be developed to include the adaptability humans portray to understand gestures from
context, from a single observation or from multiple observations. This is also referred as adaptive shot learning Ð the ability to adapt the mechanism of recognition to a barely seen gesture, well-known or entirely unknown. Of particular interest to the community
are zero-shot and one-shot learning, given that most work has been done in the N-shot learning scenario. The workshop aims to encourage works that focus on the way in which humans produce gestures Ð the kinematic and biomechanical characteristics, and the
cognitive process involved when perceiving, remembering and replicating them. We invite submission of papers presenting original research in the aforementioned theme.</span></p>
