(CfP) CVPR 2025: 8th Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW)

by Dimitrios Kollias

Dear Colleagues, Please find below the invitation to contribute to the 8th Workshop and Competition on Affective & Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW)<https://affective-behavior-analysis-in-the-wild.github.io/8th/> to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), 2025. (1): The Competition is split into the below six Challenges: * Valence-Arousal Estimation Challenge * Expression Recognition Challenge * Action Unit Detection Challenge * Compound Expression Recognition Challenge * Emotional Mimicry Intensity Estimation Challenge * Ambivalence/Hesitancy (AH) Recognition Challenge The first 3 Challenges are based on an augmented version of the Aff-Wild2 database, which is an A/V in-the-wild database of 594 videos of 584 subjects of around 3M frames; it contains annotations in terms of valence-arousal, expressions and action units. The 4th Challenge is based on C-EXPR-DB, which is an A/V in-the-wild database and in total consists of 400 videos of around 200K frames; each frame is annotated in terms of compound expressions. The 5th Challenge is based on the Hume-Vidmimic2 dataset, which is a multimodal dataset of about 75 hours of video recordings of 2222 subjects; it contains continuous annotations for the intensity of 7 emotional experiences. The last Challenge is based on the Behavioural Ambivalence/Hesitancy dataset, which is an A/V dataset of 630 videos of 5 hours duration of around 430K frames; it contains annotations in terms of presence and absence of ambivalence/hesitancy. Participants are invited to participate in at least one of these Challenges. There will be one winner per Challenge; the top-3 performing teams of each Challenge will have to contribute paper(s) describing their approach, methodology and results to our Workshop; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2025 proceedings; all other teams are also encouraged to submit paper(s) describing their solutions and final results; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2025 proceedings. More information about the Competition can be found here<https://affective-behavior-analysis-in-the-wild.github.io/8th/#clients>. Important Dates:   * Call for participation announced, team registration begins, data available: 22 January, 2025 * Final submission deadline: 12 March, 2025 * Winners Announcement: 17 March, 2025 * Final paper submission deadline: 21 March, 2025 * Review decisions sent to authors; Notification of acceptance: 3 April, 2025 * Camera ready version deadline: 7 April, 2025 Chairs: Dimitrios Kollias, Queen Mary University of London, UK Stefanos Zafeiriou, Imperial College London, UK Irene Kotsia, Cogitat Ltd, UK Panagiotis Tzirakis, Hume AI Alan Cowen, Hume AI Eric Granger, École de technologie supérieure, Canada Marco Pedersoli, École de technologie supérieure, Canada Simon Bacon, Concordia University, Canada (2): The Workshop solicits contributions on cutting-edge advancements in analyzing, generating, modeling, and understanding human affect and behavior across multiple modalities, including facial expressions, body movements, gestures and speech. A special emphasis is placed on the integration of state-of-the-art systems designed for in-the-wild analysis, enabling research and applications in unconstrained environments. In parallel, this Workshop will solicit contributions towards building fair, explainable, trustworthy and privacy-aware models that perform well on all subgroups and improve in-the-wild generalisation.
