artifacts in psychomorph
by Rachel Robbins 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Hi everyone, I'm currently caricaturing celebrity faces in psychomorph. I'm finding that several of the celebrity faces have lower than average eyebrows and or eyelid folds, which is causing artifacts around the eyes. Elinor's suggestion of adding more points in those locations doesn't seem to be helping! Does any one have any suggestions? Thanks! Rachel -- “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” - Audre Lorde

[CFP] Emotion Recognition in the Wild Challenge

12 Mar '19

Call for Challenge participation Seventh Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW) Challenge 2019 https://sites.google.com/view/emotiw2019 @ ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction 2019, Suzhou, China ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Emotion Recognition in the Wild 2019 Challenge consists of multimodal classification challenges, which mimics real-world conditions. Traditionally, emotion recognition has been performed on laboratory controlled data. While undoubtedly worthwhile at the time, such lab controlled data poorly represents the environment and conditions faced in real-world situations. With the increase in the number of video clips online, it is worthwhile to explore the performance of emotion recognition methods that work ‘in the wild’. There are three sub-challenges: a. Audio-video based Emotion Recognition b. Group-level Cohesion Recognition c. Engagement Prediction Timeline: Train and validate data available - 15th March 2019 Test data available - 5th June 2019 Paper submission deadline - July 2019 Paper notification - July 2019 Organisers Abhinav Dhall, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar Roland Goecke, University of Canberra Tom Gedeon, Australian National University -- Abhinav Dhall, PhD Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar Webpage: http://iitrpr.ac.in/lasii/ Google Scholar: https://goo.gl/iDwNTx

ICMI 2019: Call for Long and Short Papers
by zakia hammal 01 Mar '19

Apologies for cross-posting *********************************************************************************** ICMI 2019: Call for Long and Short Papers https://icmi.acm.org/2019/index.php?id=cfp Abstract Submission: May 1, 2019 (11:59pm PST) Final Submission: May 7, 2019 (11:59pm PST) *********************************************************************************** Call for Long and Short Papers The 21st International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2019) will be held in Suzhou, China. ICMI is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. We are keen to showcase novel input and output modalities and interactions to the ICMI community. ICMI 2019 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), demonstrations, exhibits and doctoral spotlight papers. The conference will also feature workshops and grand challenges. The proceedings of ICMI 2019 will be published by ACM as part of their series of International Conference Proceedings and Digital Library. We also want to welcome conference papers from behavioral and social sciences. These papers allow us to understand how technology can be used to increase our scientific knowledge and may focus less on presenting technical or algorithmic novelty. For this reason, the "novelty" criteria used during ICMI 2019 review will be based on two sub-criteria (i.e., scientific novelty and technical novelty as described below). Accepted papers at ICMI 2019 only need to be novel on one of these sub-criteria. In other words, a paper which is strong on scientific knowledge contribution but low on algorithmic novelty should be ranked similarly to a paper that is high on algorithmic novelty but low on knowledge discovery. Scientific Novelty: Papers should bring some new knowledge to the scientific community. For example, discovering new behavioral markers that are predictive of mental health or how new behavioral patterns relate to children’s interactions during learning. It is the responsibility of the authors to perform a proper literature review and clearly discuss the novelty in the scientific discoveries made in their paper. Technical Novelty: Papers reviewed with this sub-criterion should include novelty in their computational approach for recognizing, generating or modeling data. Examples include: novelty in the learning and prediction algorithms, in the neural architecture, or in the data representation. Novelty can also be associated to a new usage of an existing approach. Please see the Submission Guidelines for Authors for detailed submission instructions. This year, ICMI welcomes contributions on our theme of multi-modal understanding of multi-party interactions. Additional topics of interest include but are not limited to: Affective computing and interaction Cognitive modeling and multimodal interaction Gesture, touch and haptics Healthcare, assistive technologies Human communication dynamics Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction Interaction with smart environment Machine learning for multimodal interaction Mobile multimodal systems Multimodal behavior generation Multimodal datasets and validation Multimodal dialogue modeling Multimodal fusion and representation Multimodal interactive applications Speech behaviors in social interaction System components and multimodal platforms Visual behaviors in social interaction Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Important Dates: Abstract Submission May 1, 2019 Final submissions May 7, 2019 Paper rebuttal due June 25, 2019 Autdor notification July 7, 2019 Paper Camera Ready July 15, 2019 Best regards, Social Media Chair ICMI 2019 Zakia Hammal, PhD The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University http://www.ri.cmu.edu/ http://ri.cmu.edu/personal-pages/ZakiaHammal/
