CFP Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception
by Pablo Vinicius Alves De Barros 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Call For Papers - Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception I. Aim and Scope Our perception of the world depends on both sensory inputs and prior knowledge. This applies in general to sensing and has particular implications for affective understanding. Humans adapt their social and affective perception as a function of the current stimulation, of the context, of the history of the interaction, and as of the status of the partner. This influences their behavior, which in turn modifies the social and affective perception of both partners and the evolution of the interaction. Understanding shared perception as part of affective processing will allow us to tackle this problem and to provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. The goal of this research topic is to present and discuss new findings, theories, systems, and trends in affective shared perception and computational models. We are interested in collecting interesting and exciting research from researchers on the areas of social cognition, affective computing, and human-robot interaction, including also, but not restricted to specialists in computer and cognitive science, psychologists, neuroscientists, and specialists in bio-inspired solutions. We envision that it will allow us to tackle the existing problems in this area and it will provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. II. Potential Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - Affective perception and learning - Affective modulation and decision making - Developmental perspectives of shared perception - Machine learning for shared perception - Bio-inspired approaches for affective shared perception - Affective processing for embodied and cognitive robots - Multisensory modeling for conflict resolution in shared perception - New psychological findings on shared perception - Assistive aspects and applications of shared affective perception III. Submission - Abstract - 24 October 2020 - Paper Submission - 21 February 2021 IV.

Call for papers - Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU) @WACV 2021
by ABHIJIT DAS 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS - HBU 2021 11th International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU) Focus theme: Multi-source aspects of behavioral understanding Held in conjunction with WACV 2021 https://lmi.fe.uni-lj.si/hbu2021 Paper submission deadline: November 2nd, 2020 Notifications: November 18th, 2020 ********************************************************************* ORGANIZERS Abhijit Das, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India Qiang Ji, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, United States Umapada Pal, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India Albert Ali Salah, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Vitomir Štruc, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ABOUT Domains for human behaviour understanding predominantly (e.g., multimedia, human-computer interaction, robotics, affective computing and social signal processing) rely on advanced pattern recognition techniques to automatically interpret complex behavioural patterns generated when humans interact with machines or with other agents. This is a challenging research area where many issues are still open, including the joint modelling of behavioural cues taking place at different time scales, the inherent uncertainty of machine detectable evidence of human behaviour, the mutual influence of people involved in interactions, the presence of long term dependencies in observations extracted from human behaviour, and the important role of dynamics in human behaviour understanding. Computer vision is a key technology for analysis and synthesis of human behaviour but stands to gain much from multi-modality and multi-source processing, in terms of improving accuracy, resource use, robustness, and contextualization. This workshop, organized as part of WACV 2021, will gather researchers dealing with the problem of modelling human behaviour under its multiple facets (expression of emotions, display of relational attitudes, the performance of an individual or joint actions, etc.), with particular attention to multi-source aspects, including multi-sensor, multi-participant and multi-modal settings. Example challenges are the additional resource and robustness constraints, explorations in information fusion, social and contextual aspects of interactions, and building multi-source representations of social and affective signals with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art. The HBU workshops, previously organized as satellite events to major conferences in different disciplines such as ICPR’10, AMI’11, IROS’12, ACMMM’13, ECCV’14, UBICOMP’15, ACMMM’16, FG’18, ECCV’18, ICCV’19 have a unique aspect of fostering cross-pollination of disciplines, bringing together researchers from a variety of fields, such as computer vision, HCI, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, interaction design, ambient intelligence, psychology and robotics. The diversity of human behaviour, the richness of multimodal data that arises from its analysis, and the multitude of applications that demand rapid progress in this area ensure that the HBU Workshops provide a timely and relevant discussion and dissemination platform. For HBU@WACV, we particularly solicit contributions on human behaviour understanding that combine multiple sources of information, be it across modalities, sensors, or subjects under observation. The workshop solicits papers on general topics related to human behaviour understanding, but with a distinct focus on multi-source solutions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Multimodal solutions for human behaviour modelling and analysis + Multimodal solutions towards behavioural biometrics (gait, handwriting, keystroke dynamics, etc.) + Methods for multi-instance learning in behavioural understanding, + Analysis of multi-participant settings and of social interactions, + Multi-instance representation for characterizing human health, empathy, + Deep learning for multi-party interactions + Multimodal deep learning for behaviour understanding + Adversarial learning approaches + Related sensor technologies + Information fusions approach for behaviour analysis + Realistic behaviour synthesis in multiple modalities and for multi-party settings + Mobile and wearable systems for behaviour monitoring + Datasets and benchmarks + Related applications PAPER SUBMISSION Submission instruction can be found at https://lmi.fe.uni-lj.si/hbu2021/paper-submission/ Please feel free to contact for any further details.

face database needed
by Ferenc Kocsor 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Dear All, I'm looking for facial images of white men with neutral expression between 18 and 60 years. I already have a set from the Chicago Face Database, but I would need additional 200-250 images in similar quality. It is important that there should be no mask around the face, and the whole face should be visible (from chin to the top of the hair). Coloured pictures are preferred. They will be used in a go-nogo task in our lab, later possibly in an online experiment as well. CFD faces will be the "go" trials, these are already selected and rated, so the quality of the "no-go" stimuli really needs to be similar to the selected set. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Ferenc Kocsor, PhD research associate Institute of Psychology, University of Pécs, Hungary

Request for data: Verbal descriptions and identification data
by Alicia Nortje 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Dear all, I am working with Professor Colin Tredoux to analyse verbal or written descriptions of perpetrators / faces and statements; unfortunately, we do not have enough diversity in the descriptions that we have collected so far. Specifically, our sample sizes are comparatively small compared to studies that have used MTurk, and when we have found other researchers’ data on OSF (e.g., the Alogna et al replication of the VOE study), our dataset is overwhelming tinted with descriptions of the ‘same’ perpetrator (i.e., the moustached bank robber in the original video used of Schooler). For these reasons, we are reaching out to other researchers for help. We often collect witness statements in our experiments as part of our laboratory procedure (encode – recall – recognise), but we do not normally analyse these statement data. We are hoping that other researchers follow a similar procedure and have description/statement data available. We’d like to ask if you would be willing to share your data where you have collected descriptions of the perpetrator/s or statements of the coding event, and also have corresponding lineup identification data. The data does not need to be processed – we can process it on our side and recode the variables (and I can send this back to you). To do this, we just need to know stimuli characteristics (e.g., tp/ta, position of suspect/target, confidence scale, lineup choice made etc). Please let me know if you are able to assist us. Apologies again for the random e-mail, but any assistance would be much assisted. Thanks again! Hope to hear from you.
