by ABHIJIT DAS 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Dear colleagues, We are inviting abstract submissions for a special session on “Artificial Intelligence for Automated Human Health-care and Monitoring”, as part of the 16th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG’21, http://iab-rubric.org/fg2021/) December 15-18, 2021. Details on the special session follow below. Title, abstract, list of authors, as well as the name of the corresponding author should be emailed directly to Abhijit Das (abhijitdas2048(a)gmail.com) Please submit your abstracts before Sunday, May 8th 2021. The expected paper submission deadline will be on 1st August 2021. Feel free to contact Abhijit Das, if you have any further questions. Kindly circulate this email to others, who might be interested. We look forward to your contributions!

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the need for virtual diagnosis and monitoring health protocols (such as regulations for social distancing, surveillance of individuals wearing the mask in-crowd, gauging body temperature and other physiological measurements from distance). Consequently, researchers from computer vision, as well as from the medical science community have given significant attention to goals ranging from patient analysis and monitoring to diagnostics (e.g., for dementia, depression, general healthcare, physiological measurements, rare neurologic diseases). Moreover, healthcare represents an area of broad economic[1] <#_ftn1>, social, and scientific impact. We aim to document recent advancements in automated healthcare, as well as enable and discuss the progress. Therefore, the goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in this area of computer vision and medical science, and to address a wide range of theoretical and practical issues related to real-life healthcare systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Health monitoring based on face analysis, · Health monitoring based on gesture analysis, · Health monitoring based corporeal-based visual features, · Depression analysis based on visual features, · Face analytics for human behaviour understanding, · Anxiety diagnosis based on face and gesture, · Physiological measurement employing face analytics, · Databases on health monitoring, e.g., depression analysis, · Augmentative and alternative communication, · Human-robot interaction, · Home healthcare, · Technology for cognition, · Automatic emotional hearing and understanding, · Visual attention and visual saliency, · Assistive living, · Privacy preserving systems, · Quality of life technologies, · Mobile and wearable systems, · Applications for the visually impaired, · Sign language recognition and applications for hearing impaired, · Applications for the ageing society, · Personalized monitoring, · Egocentric and first-person vision, · Applications to improve health and wellbeing of children and elderly. ------------------------------ [1] <#_ftnref1> https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/healthcare-automation-market-to-re…

PhD in face perception
by Ferenc Kocsor 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Dear All, I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity. The Institute of Psychology at the University of Pecs, Hungary, is planning to start a PhD program for international students. During the program, among other possibilities, students can join a research that aims at extending our knowledge about the cognitive background of face perception. We`re particularly interested in how semantic knowledge about a person interacts with affective processes. The student will have access to the following equipment in our lab: - device for accurate reaction time measurement (cedrus) - eye-tracker (Toobi XT300) - physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, hearth rate, respiration rate, EMG etc) - EEG Please note that there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester in the first and second year, and 2500 euros per semester in the third and fourth year). However, from the second year on, students from selected countries may apply for a scholarship by the Stipendium Hungaricum which covers both tuition fee and costs of living. The list of eligible countries can be found here: https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/partners/ We are still waiting for the official approval of the PhD program from the university administration, hence application will be possible only from July. Until then, informal enquiries can be sent to kocsor.ferenc(a)pte.hu. Students with a background in psychology, biology, or other related fields, are welcome to apply. best regards *Ferenc Kocsor, PhD* Institute of Psychology Faculty of Humanites University of Pécs psychology.pte.hu <https://psychology.pte.hu/ferenc-kocsor-phd> evolutionpsychology.com <https://psychology.pte.hu/ferenc-kocsor-phd>
