CFP: IEEE FG 2015 Special Session on Mouth Motion Analysis for Speech Recognition and Speaker Verification
by Vitomir Štruc 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that our proposed special session "Analysis of mouth motion for speech recognition and speaker verification" has been accepted by the 11th IEEE International Conference on Face and Gesture Recognition (FG'15) www.fg2015.org and would like to invite you to contribute to it. The session addresses the importance of analyzing human mouth motion for human-computer interaction and includes, but not limited to, the following five main topics: 1) visual speech recognition 2) audiovisual speech recognition 3) visual-only speaker verification 4) audio/visual fusion for speaker verification and liveness detection 5) mouth non-manuals for automatic sign language recognition The deadline for paper submission is the 24th of November and you may submit your paper through the CMT system under the shortened name "Special Session on Mouth Motion Analysis". The CMT is available from here: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/FG2015 We are looking forward to your papers and would like to thank you in advance for your support. Best regards, Dr. Ziheng Zhou, University of Oulu Prof. Guoying Zhao, University of Oulu Dr. Stefanos Zafeiriou, Imperial College London

Post Doc Position in Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition
by Harel, Assaf 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab Department of Psychology Wright State University A post-doc position is now available at the newly established Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab at the Department of Psychology, Wright State University. The lab is headed by Dr. Assaf Harel and investigates high-level vision and its neural substrates. We are particularly interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied aspects of high-level vision. For this purpose, we employ a diversity of cognitive neuroscience methods, including fMRI, EEG, psychophysics, and eye tracking. Research topics include, but are not limited to the following areas: visual expertise, object and scene recognition, categorization and perceptual learning. The position is fully funded for two years. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Neurobiology, Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the start date of the position. Strong background and familiarity with fMRI or EEG research is required. Experience in computer programming, especially with Matlab is highly encouraged and will be considered a strong advantage. Applicants should send their CV, a short statement of their research interests and contact information for two references to Dr. Assaf Harel at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas: (1) Cognition and Perception, (2) Industrial/ Organizational, and (3) Behavioral Neuroscience. Wright State University was recently ranked among the “Best in the Midwest” universities by The Princeton Review, listed among 260 Best National Universities in the annual “America’s Best Colleges” rankings by U.S. News and World Report, and ranked fourth nationally among universities with limited numbers of doctoral programs in the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index. Wright State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
