OMG- Emotion Recognition Challenge - Final Results
by Pablo Barros 22 May '18

22 May '18

Dear all, I would like to share with you all the results of our first OMG- Emotion Recognition Challenge. Our challenge is based on the One-Minute-Gradual Emotion Dataset (OMG-Emotion Dataset), which is composed of 567 emotion videos with an average length of 1 minute, collected from a variety of Youtube channels. Each team had a task to describe each video with a continuous space of arousal/valence domain. The challenge had a total of 34 teams registered, from which we got 11 final submissions. Each final submission was composed of a short paper describing the solution and the link to the code repository. The solutions used different modalities (ranging from unimodal audio and vision to multimodal audio, vision, and text), and thus provide us with a very complex evaluation scenario. All the submissions were based on neural network models. We split results into arousal and valence. For arousal, the best results came from the GammaLab team. Their three submissions are our top 3 CCC arousal, followed by the three submissions from the audEERING team, and the two submissions from the HKUST-NISL2018 team. For valence, the GammaLab team stays still in first (with their three submissions), followed by the two submissions of ADSC team and the three submissions from the iBug team. Congratulations to you all! We provide a leaderboard on our website ( https://www2.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wtm/OMG-EmotionChallenge/ ), which will be permanently stored. This way, everyone can see the final results of the challenge, have a quick access to a formal description of the solutions and to the codes. This will help to disseminate knowledge even further and will improve the reproducibility of your solutions. We also provide a general leaderboard which will be updated constantly with new submissions. If you are interested in having your score in our general leaderboard, just send us an e-mail following the instructions on our website. I would also to invite you all to the presentation of the challenge summary during the WCCI/IJCNN 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Face and gesture recognition meeting
by Peter Hancock 02 May '18

02 May '18

This year's automatic face and gesture recognition conference has not yet happened but we already have the call for next year's which will be in France. There is a desire to get more cross-fertilisation between psychology and computer science in this field; I think it would be great to have a session on the latest advances in understanding the psychology of face perception. Please think whether you might have something useful to say. Thanks, Peter Peter Hancock Professor, Deputy Head of Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://stir.ac.uk/190 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6025-7068 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-4633-2009 Psychology at Stirling: 100% 4* Impact, REF2014 Come and study Face Perception at the University of Stirling! Our unique MSc in the Psychology of Faces is open for applications. For more information see http://www.stir.ac.uk/postgraduate/programme-information/prospectus/psychol… [highly cited 2016]
