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

- Abstract - 24 October 2020
- Paper Submission - 21 February 2021

Call For Abstracts - Workshop on Affective Shared Perception (WASP)
Dear all,
We are delighted to invite you to submit an abstract, and to participate in our Workshop on Affective Shared Perception (WASP), hosted by the International Conference on Developmental Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EPIROB2020).
Please find below all the information!
Cheers,
Pablo
I. Aim and Scope
Our perception of the world, in particular, the ones which are influenced by affective understanding, depends both on sensory perception and prior knowledge. Most of the current research on modeling affective behavior as computer models ground their contribution to pre-trained learning models, which are purely data-driven, or on reproducing existing human behavior. Such approaches allow for easily reproducible solutions that fail when applied to complex social scenarios.
Understanding shared perception as part of the affective processing mechanisms will allow us to tackle this problem and to provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss new findings, theories, systems, and trends in computational models of affective shared perception. The workshop will feature a multidisciplinary list of invited speakers with experience in different aspects of social interaction, which will allow a rich and diverse debate about our overarching theme of affective shared perception.
The workshop is scheduled to happen on the 30th of October of 2020 virtually. It will start at 15h00 CET and it will have a total duration of 3h30min.
The participation is free, and a Zoom room will be available shortly before the workshop starts.
II. Registration

- 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

IV. Invited Speakers
Prof. Dr. Ginevra Castellano - Uppsala University, Sweeden
Prof. Dr. Ellen Souza - Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Brazil
Prof. Dr. Yukie Nagai - The University of Tokyo, Japan
V. Submission
Prospective participants in the workshop are invited to submit a contribution as an abstract with a maximum of 350 words.
Submission information: https://www.whisperproject.eu/wasp2020
The abstracts will be peer-reviewed by experts from all over the world.
To encourage the integration with the local affective computing communities, we will allow student abstracts to be submitted in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Each accepted abstract will be presented as a 5 min video (in English!) that will be shared on the workshop's social media. During the workshop, all the videos will be streamed and the authors will have a joint live Q/A with the audience for 60minutes.
Participants can also opt-in for participating in our Frontiers Research Topic on Affective Shared Perception ( https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/16086/affective-shared-percepti…). The same abstract sent to the workshop can be sent as an abstract submission to the research topic. If you want to opt-in for the research topic, only English submissions will be accepted.
- Abstract submission deadline: 12th of October
- Notification of acceptance: 17th of October
- Frontiers Research Topic Abstract Deadline: 24th of October
- Video submission: 24th of October
