</span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;"><b>Workshop</b></span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-weight: 400;"> solicits
contributions</span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;"> on the recent progress of recognition, analysis, generation-synthesis and modelling of face, body,
gesture, speech, audio, text and language while embracing the most advanced systems available for such in-the-wild (i.e., in unconstrained environments) analysis, and across modalities like face to voice. In parallel, this Workshop will solicit contributions
towards building fair, explainable, trustworthy and privacy-aware models that perform well on all subgroups and improve in-the-wild generalisation.</span></p>

(either uni-modal or multi-modal; uni-task or multi-task ones) are solicited on -but are not limited to- the following topics:</span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal; font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

ii) facial action unit detection<br>
iii) valence-arousal estimation<br>
iv) physiological-based (e.g.,EEG, EDA) affect analysis<br>
v) face recognition, detection or tracking<br>
vi) body recognition, detection or tracking<br>
vii) gesture recognition or detection<br>
viii) pose estimation or tracking<br>
ix) activity recognition or tracking<br>
x) lip reading and voice understanding<br>
xi) face and body characterization (e.g., behavioral understanding)<br>
xii) characteristic analysis (e.g., gait, age, gender, ethnicity recognition)<br>
xiii) group understanding via social cues (e.g., kinship, non-blood relationships, personality)<br>
xiv) video, action and event understanding<br>
xv) digital human modeling<br>
xvi) characteristic analysis (e.g., gait, age, gender, ethnicity recognition)<br>
xvii) violence detection<br>
xviii) autonomous driving<br>
xix) domain adaptation, domain generalisation, few- or zero-shot learning for the above cases<br>
xx) fairness, explainability, interpretability, trustworthiness, privacy-awareness, bias mitigation and/or subgroup distribution shift analysis for the above cases<br>
xxi) editing, manipulation, image-to-image translation, style mixing, interpolation, inversion and semantic diffusion for all afore mentioned cases</span></p>
