[Apologies for cross-postings] Call for papers ----------------------------------------------- IEEE International Conference on Identity, Security and Behavior Analysis (ISBA 2017) Location: New Delhi, India Dates: February 22-24 2017 http://ieee-biometrics.org/isba2017/ ----------------------------------------------- ISBA is a unique conference series initiated by the IEEE Biometrics Council and its third edition will be held in New Delhi, India. This conference is intended to meet the emerging need for a winter meeting, especially for the Asian participants where the introduction of large scale biometrics programs have attracted significant increase in research and development efforts. It will be a forum that brings together experts in biometrics, security, and human behavior to consider research issues and solutions that are robust, comprehensive, and broader than currently considered in each of these individual research areas. This conference serves to provide a new form for such broad areas defining human side of security and user behavior as well as social influence in the biometrics security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Anti-Spoofing, Behavioral Biometrics, Biometric System Evaluation, Biometrics in Law Enforcement, Cybercrime • De-identification, Detection and Tracking, Device Identification, Digital Forensics • Human Behavior Analysis, Human Activity Understanding, Identity Management, Information Security, Person Re-identification • Performance Evaluation, Privacy-preserving Computing, Predictive Analytics, Single and Multi-modal Biometrics • Social Biometrics, Social and Criminal Network Inference, Surveillance Identification, Template Protection and Data Privacy • Usability and Performance, User-centric Biometric Security Submitted papers may not be accepted or under review elsewhere. Submissions may be up to eight pages in conference format (double blind reviewing). Papers accepted and presented at ISBA 2017 will be published in conference proceedings and made available in IEEE Xplore library. Important dates Submission deadline: October 10, 2016 Decision to authors: December 10, 2016 Camera ready submission: December 20, 2016 Conference: February 22-24, 2017 General Chair Rama Chellappa (University of Maryland, USA) General Co-chairs Ajay Kumar (PolyU, Hongkong) Richa Singh (IIIT-Delhi, India) Program Co-chairs M.

by Katharina von Kriegstein 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Applications are welcomed for two researcher positions at doctoral or postdoctoral level at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI-CBS) in Leipzig, Germany, in the Neural Mechanisms of Human Communication group led by Katharina von Kriegstein. PhD student or Postdoctoral Position in Neuroscience of Developmental Dyslexia: The objective of the research project is to use functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and behavioural intervention training to understand the role of auditory and visual sensory processing in populations with developmental dyslexia. Further information on the position can be found here: http://www.cbs.mpg.de/489916/job_full_offer_10626437?c=7390 PhD student or Postdoctoral position in Neuroscience of Autism Spectrum Disorder: The objective of the research project is to use high-resolution functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and behavioural tests to understand the role of auditory and visual sensory processing in populations with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Further information on the position can be found here: http://www.cbs.mpg.de/490195/job_full_offer_10626459?c=7390 Both positions are funded by an ERC-Consolidator grant. --- Katharina von Kriegstein Max Planck Research Group Leader Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstr. 1A, 04103 Leipzig, Germany Professor of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience Humboldt University of Berlin Rudower Chaussee 18, 12489 Berlin, Germany Phone +49 (0) 341-9940-2476 Fax +49 (0) 341-9940-2448 http://www.cbs.mpg.de/independent-research-groups/human-communication

Face database with Oriental and Occidental faces
by Joscha Stecker 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear all, we're searching for a face database with stimuli including ideally both - a) faces from the Middle East/ Oriental looking faces and - b) faces from Western society / Occidental looking faces. Some more charachteristics that might be helpfull for us: - more than 20 males & 20 females in each group a) and b) - standardized photo-sets with minimal variation of background and orientations - neutral expression and/or natural variation of emotion and/or different emotions for each face - licence agreement allowing the use for non-profit academic research - the actual origin (Occidental/ Oriental) of the people showed in the photos - any further data on face characteristics, external face ratings or characteristics of the targets shown would be great (albeit not a prerequisite) Within a project on the psychology of forced migration (University of Muenster, Germany; Prof. Mitja Back), we're planning to examine personality perceptions based on photos of Oriental and Occidental faces. Therefore we're glad for every idea concerning a face database including the above characteristics. Thanks in advance and best regards, Joscha Stecker
