CFP: FG-2020 Affect Recognition in-the-wild: Uni/Multi-Modal Analysis Workshop
by Kollias, Dimitrios 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Apologies for cross-posting ******************************** Dear Colleagues, Please find below the invitation to contribute to the: Affect Recognition in-the-wild: Uni/Multi-Modal Analysis Workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) Conference 2020 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 18-22 May 2020. Website: https://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/affect-recognition-wild-unimulti-modal-… SCOPE: ------------ The workshop aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in the problem of analysis of human affective behavior in-the-wild. It solicits any original paper on databases, benchmarks and technical contributions related to affect recognition, using audio, visual or other modalities (e.g., EEG), in unconstrained conditions. Either uni-modal, or multi-modal approaches will be considered. It would be of particular interest to see methodologies that study detection of action units based on audio data (with the recent development of the largest in-the-wild audiovisual database, Aff-Wild2, annotated in terms of three behavior tasks: valence-arousal, basic expressions and action units). The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to contributions in the following topics: (a) databases for spontaneous and naturalistic: i) facial expression or micro-expression analysis, or ii) facial action unit detection, or iii) valence-arousal estimation, ”in the-wild”. (b) methodologies for: i) facial expression or micro-expression analysis, or ii) facial action unit detection, or iii) valence-arousal estimation, ”in the wild”; The methodologies can use uni-modal or multi-modal information (e.g., visual, audio data, hand and body gestures, EEG, EDA) (c) methodologies for action unit prediction from audio (e.g., using Aff-Wild2, which is an audiovisual database) (d) domain-adaptation techniques for the above described behavior tasks (either using Aff-Wild2, or any other database, or combination of databases). IMPORTANT DATES: ----------------------------- • 14 February 2020 - Paper submission deadline • 21 February 2020 - Review decisions sent to authors; Notification of acceptance • 28 February 2020 - Camera ready version deadline Accepted workshop papers will appear at IEEE FG 2020 proceedings. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: -------------------------------------------- The paper format should adhere to the paper submission guidelines for FG2020. The submission process will be handled through the CMT<https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ABAW2020>. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: ---------------------------------- Aleix M. Martinez, Ohio State University, United States Pablo Barros, Italian Institute of Technology,Italy CHAIRS: ------------- Stefanos Zafeiriou, Imperial College London, UK Dimitrios Kollias, Imperial College London, UK Attila Schulc, Realeyes - Emotional Intelligence In case of any queries, please contact dimitrios.kollias15(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:dimitrios.kollias15@imperial.ac.uk> .

BPS Cognitive meeting session on face research
by Peter Hancock 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

The BPS Cognitive Section annual meeting will be held in Stirling from 26th-28th August. One theme will be faces. If you think you would like to present, please let me know. The formal call for submissions will be later in Spring. There will be two additional reasons to make the trip: Either as part of the meeting, or alongside it, we are planning to mark the retirement of Vicki Bruce with talks by her ex-students and colleagues The Edinburgh Festival will be in full swing at the time, so you could go along there either before or after the meeting. Peter Peter Hancock Professor Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 http://rms.stir.ac.uk/converis-stirling/person/11587 @pjbhancock Psychology at Stirling 100% 4* Impact, REF 2014 [Sports University of the Year 2020] My messages may arrive outside of the working day but this does not imply any expectation that you should reply outside of your normal working hours.

Postdoc Position in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (website URL corrected)
by Angela Yu 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for a postdoctoral position immediately available in the Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, led by Prof. Angela Yu, at University of California, San Diego. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to extract computational principles that underlie cognitive processes that enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent agents perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity. Current interests include perception, face processing, active sensing, judgement and decision making, and social cognition. Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to model cognitive functions and/or their neural underpinnings. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on Amazon M-Turk) and/or collaborating with other neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable. Dr. Yu's lab is situated within the Cognitive Science department, and also affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, the Computer Science Department, the Neurosciences Graduate Program, and the Institute of Neural Computation. There are ample opportunities for collaborations with related groups across the UCSD main campus, the medical school, and the Salk Institute. Interested candidates should send a research statement, along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu(a)ucsd.edu) with the subject “Postdoc Application”. Two or more letters of references should be sent directly by the recommenders to ajyu(a)ucsd.edu. More information about Dr. Yu’s group can be found at http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu . ---------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Cognitive Science, UCSD 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu https://ucsd.zoom.us/my/angelajyu ----------------------------------------------
