Lecturer & Senior Lecturer Posts at York St John University

by Natalie Butcher

Dear all, My department are currently advertising a Senior Lecturer (details here) and two Lecturer (details here) positions. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from those with an interest in face processing / recognition. We have a final year option module on face processing and a number of dissertation students who are keen to investigate various aspects of face processing. It is genuinely a great place to work and I have felt valued there from the day I started. The University have recently invested in Psychology with a brand new lab space, eye trackers and VR kit (as well as other bits and pieces) to support teaching and research. If you want any further information, from a fellow face researcher, feel free to email me: n.butcher(a)yorksj.ac.uk informally OR contact Nathalie Noret (Head of Programme) who is the official point of contact for these positions. Best wishes Natalie

FACS coding for Ekman & Friesens' Pictures of Facial Affect

by Amy Dawel

Hi, Is anyone aware of/has documented detailed FACS coding for the PoFA? We are particularly interested in what additional (i.e., non-core) action units these stimuli include, as well as the intensity of the core AUs. Thanks, Amy ___________________________________________________________ Amy Dawel BA (Hons) Psychologist Postdoctoral Fellow Research School of Psychology (building 39) The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 https://anu-au.academia.edu/AmyDawel

FW: football faces of pain

by Peter Hancock

From: jesse.hoey(a)gmail.com [mailto:jesse.hoey@gmail.com] On Behalf Of jesse hoey Sent: 16 June 2014 01:57 To: face-research-list Mailing List Subject: football faces of pain Dear Colleagues, We are working on a project to automatically classify pain/non-pain faces in football players faces. The idea is to build automatic classifiers to help the referees during world cup games distinguish "real" facial expressions of pain from "faked" expressions of pain, thereby helping to book players more fairly. Our methodology was to gather expressions from world cup videos, and then assign to positive (real pain) or negative (faked pain) class based on whether the player in question stayed off the field/on the ground for more than 30 seconds. Although we have found large numbers of negative class examples (see below for examples), we are having some difficulty identifying any positive class facial expressions. We therefore seek input from the facial expression research community into how we can adjust our methodology while gathering this important dataset of facial expressions. Thank you for your help with this matter, Jesse -- -------- Jesse Hoey Associate Professor David R.

Paper on Parent-Offspring Resemblance Problem - Computer Vision

by Afshin Dehghan

Hi Everyone, I'm sending this email to let you know that our recent work "Who do I look Like? Determining Parent-offpsring resemblance via Gated-autoencoder" is accepted for publication in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference in Columbus, Oh. In this paper, we look into the parent-offspring problem from computer perspective, propose new deep learning approach and try to answer 4 key questions that have been of interest in other fields, e.g anthropologies. 1. Do children resemble their parents? 2. Do children resemble on parent more than the other? 3. What facial features are more genetic? 4. Do anthropological studies help computers making a better decision? Here is the link to that paper and 1 min spotlight video: Paper : http://crcv.ucf.edu/people/phd_students/afshin/Afshin_Dehghan_Resemblance_C… Spotlight; http://crcv.ucf.edu/people/phd_students/afshin/kinship_spotlight.mp4 Afshin -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Afshin Dehghan Ph.D. Student, CS Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV), UCF http://crcv.ucf.edu/ <http://vision.eecs.ucf.edu/people/afshin/>
