CFP Affective Computing Pre-Conference at ISRE, Amsterdam, 10th July 2019

by Iulia Lefter - TBM

Apologies for cross-posting ********************************************************************************************************************** Affective Computing Pre-Conference at ISRE, 10th July 2019 Organizers Joost Broekens, Leiden University (NL) Jonathan Gratch, University of Southern California (USA) Dirk Heylen, Twente University (NL) Summary The Affective Computing Pre-Conference will feature state-of-the-art research on computational techniques for understanding, recognizing and shaping human emotion, and emphasizes ways to strengthen interdisciplinary connections between the computational and human sciences of emotion. Invited speakers will discuss the latest research on computational methods inspired by the affective sciences, as well as on how such methods can transform research in affective science. In addition we will be accepting abstract submissions for Poster and “Flash Talk” presentations (instructions below). Embedding and previous conferences This pre-conference fits in the ACII series of conferences, this year in Cambridge in September. The pre-conference also follows up on the 2017 pre-conference held in Boston at SAS. With this presence at ISRE we reinforce the increasing interest in the interdisciplinary study of emotion in which computational modelling as well as computational analysis play an important role. Abstract Submissions We will be accepting abstract submissions for Poster and “Flash Talk” presentations. Presentations should address topics in affective computing, broadly defined, i.e. emotion recognition, emotion modeling, emotion expression in technological artifacts, and, human (affective) responses to (affective) technology. Anyone is welcome to submit but only a subset of the submissions can be accommodated. To be considered, please submit your extended abstract as pdf to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acisre2019. The extended abstract should be 2 pages, including bibliography and should outline goals of the research, methods used and a summary of the results. Position and/or “blue sky idea” extended abstract are also welcome but need to make the argument in a clear and concise way in the extended abstract. When you submit, indicate at the submission page if you are aiming for a Flash Talk or for a Poster presentation, or whether either form is fine. If you present experimental results of any kind, the data must be collected prior to submission. The deadline for submissions is 10-may-2019. Submissions can span career status from faculty to graduate students. Please note that ISRE registration is required for attending this pre-conference. Do not forget to register through the ISRE main registration system. Invited speakers We are proud to announce our invited speakers including: Rosalind Picard (MIT, USA) Mohamed Chetouani (Sorbonne, FR) Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS – ISIR / Sorbonne University, FR) Rainer Reisenzein (U. Greifswald, DE) Lola Cañamero (U. Hertfordshire, UK) Stacy Marsella (U. Glasgow, UK) Jeff Cohn (U. Pittsburgh / CMU, USA) Michel Valstar (U. Nottingham, UK) Eva Hudlicka (Psychometrix / UMass, USA) Arvid Kappas (Jacobs U., DE) Ana Paiva (GAIPS/INESC-ID, Portugal)

Post-doc in face identification

by David White

JOB ADVERT: CLOSING DATE 3 MAY Applications are invited for a post-doctoral Research Associate position at UNSW Sydney to work on an Australian Research Council funded project with Dr David White (UNSW Sydney) and Dr Sebastien Miellet (University of Wollongong). Super-recognisers are people that consistently attain the highest levels of accuracy in challenging face identification tasks, but the basis of their ability is not clear. This project aims to develop theoretical understanding of perceptual processing and information sampling that gives rise to this skill. Eye-tracking methods will be used to pinpoint the visual information used by superior face identifiers, and capture qualitative differences in their visual processing. For more details and to apply online please see: http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/496566/research-associate <http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/496566/research-associate> Informal queries should be directed to david.white(a)unsw.edu.au <mailto:david.white@unsw.edu.au>

Fully funded PhD position in computational modelling of top-down effects in face perception

by Daniel Gill

A fully funded PhD Studentship (stipend + fees) opportunity at the University of Winchester, UK The position is open to both UK/EU and international students*. Applications are invited for a 3-year fully funded inter-disciplinary PhD position under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Gill and Prof. Paul Sowden from the Department of Psychology, and Dr. Claire Ancient from the Department of Digital Futures. Our team is seeking a talented, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and highly motivated PhD student to take part in an exciting study that combines computational methods, clinical and behavioural and research techniques to study the effect of mental state on face perception. Research implies that the process of attending to emotionally expressive faces is susceptible to mood and mental state. The current project will investigate the explicit modifications of facial mental representations induced by mental states, in particular in depression and anxiety. The project will involve psychophysical and computational tools. The successful applicant will contribute to performing recordings with patients in collaborating clinics and the analysis of the data. They should have very good quantitative and computational skills and a strong background or interest in neuroscience and/or psychology. Requirements - A track record of high academic achievement, demonstrated by a first class or high upper second undergraduate honours degree and/or a master’s degree (or equivalent) in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electric or Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, Statistics or related disciplines. - Two academic references. - The ability to work independently, with the support of a supervisory team, and the enthusiasm to contribute to a vibrant and stimulating research environment are essential. - Programming skills (e.g., Matlab, orPython etc). - Familiarity with machine learning and image processing techniques. - Fluency in English Prior to the submission of the formal application, prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr. Gill (daniel.gill(a)winchester.ac.uk) or Dr. Claire Ancient (Claire.encient(a)winchester.ac.uk) or Prof. Sowden (paul.sowden(a)winchester.ac.uk) by email no later than May 10th, 2017 for further instructions and informal enquiries (This is optional; applications can be submitted directly to the link in the Application Process section). The University of Winchester in located at the stunning city of Winchester, one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. Winchester is less than an hour by train to London Waterloo train station. Application Process: Students should apply to the University of Winchester using Application Form A, which includes a substantial project proposal. To download a copy of Form A please click the following link: https://www.winchester.ac.uk/study/research-degrees/how-to-apply/ Key Dates: · Deadline for applications: Midnight 19 May 2019 · References direct from referees** required by 29 May 2019 · Interviews will be held between 24 June and 29 June 2019 · Awards begin September 2019 *nb Non-EU students are required to pay the balance between UK and non-EU tuition fees for the three years of the studentship (for 19/20: £13,300- £4,200= £9,100/annum)
