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.

looking for sub-Saharan African and Western European face databases
by Annelies Vredeveldt 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Dear fellow face researchers, For a project on cross-cultural differences in eyewitness testimony and identification, my PhD student Gabi de Bruïne and I are looking for databases of young adult male faces (real, not generated) from amongst which to select fillers for photo lineups for a black Gambian target and a white Dutch target. Ideally, we would like to select Gambian fillers and Dutch fillers, respectively, but I can imagine that would be hard to find. An alternative option would be to select a range of sub-Saharan African fillers and a range of Western European fillers, respectively. Does any of you perhaps know of any databases we could use? We have already looked at the face databases collected in this Google document <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K-Gelc-HBgbwsDKWraCubGVf30uOrnTo3FT…>, and found some Western European faces (some Dutch, Scottish, Danish) and some sub-Saharan African faces (South African), but not enough of a range to make the lineup work, particularly for the African target. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Annelies *Dr. Annelies Vredeveldt* Associate Professor *| *Department of Criminal Law and Criminology *| *Faculty of Law *| *VU University Amsterdam +31 20 59 83 153 *| *a.vredeveldt(a)vu.nl *| *www.annelies.vredeveldt.com <http://annelies.vredeveldt.com/> *|* www.allp.nl

Face resource: 10K generated face photos
by Quoc Vuong 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Dear all There is a face resource that you may find useful in face-perception research. The faces are computer-generated but are photo-realistic. The link to the company is (Generated Photos): https://generated.photos/ All the images they offer are free with a link for non-commercial purposes. For the academic community, they have also made a 10K dataset with meta-data freely available for research: https://generated.photos/datasets (scroll towards the bottom) They have a very good support team, who are very responsive to questions. Thanks, Quoc. =========================== Newcastle University Biosciences Institute & School of Psychology

databases needed: including residence information of the depicted persons
by Claudia Menzel 14 Nov '20

14 Nov '20

Dear all, for a research project, I am looking for databases that include at least one measure of facial appearance (i.e., face photographs or rating data) and at least one measure for the current or previous residence of the person depicted (i.e., city name, city size, GPS data, zip code, level of urbanization, or greenness of neighbourhood). Do you know of any database that has data for both variables (facial apearance /and /residence) available? I am grateful for all kind of suggestions. Thank you! Best wishes, Claudia Menzel -- Dr. Claudia Menzel Social, Environmental, & Economic Psychology University of Koblenz-Landau Room H-316, Fortstraße 7, 76829 Landau, Germany (note that I'm in homeoffice now!)

"Other-race" expressive faces needed
by Graham Hole 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Hi, I'm looking for a set of non-white male faces (black, Asian or East Asian) with each person displaying the traditional six expressions (happiness, anger, fear, disgust, surprise, sadness and a neutral expression). Does anyone have a set that I could use? If so, please contact me. Thanks! Graham Hole, University of Sussex. Email: grahamh(a)sussex.ac.uk

Deadline extended to 5th Nov 2020: CALL FOR PAPERS - HBU 2021 I
by ABHIJIT DAS 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '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 2021https://lmi.fe.uni-lj.si/hbu2021 Paper submission deadline: November 5th, 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 athttps://lmi.fe.uni-lj.si/hbu2021/paper-submission/ Please feel free to contact for any further details.
