(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.

Final call for paper deadline 8th Sep : ICPR 2024 2nd Workshop Fairness in Biometric Systems

by ABHIJIT DAS

*Final Call for Papers (**no more extension**)* I*CPR 2024: 2nd Workshop on- Call for Papers Fairness in Biometric Systems* Biometric systems have spread worldwide and therefore have been increasingly involved in critical decision-making processes, including finances, public security, and forensics. Despite their increasing impact on everybody’s daily life, many biometric solutions perform highly divergent for different groups of individuals, as previous works have shown. Consequently, the recognition performance of such systems is significantly impacted by demographic and non-demographic attributes of users. This brings to the fore discriminatory and unfair treatment of users of such systems. At the same time, several political regulations, such as Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 71 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have highlighted the importance of the right to non-discrimination. These political efforts show the pertinent need for analyzing and mitigating equability concerns in biometric systems. Given the increasing impact on everybody’s daily life, as well as the associated social interest, research on fairness in biometric solutions is urgently needed. This includes • Developing and analyzing biometric datasets • Proposing metrics related to equability in biometrics • Demographic and non-demographic factors in biometric systems • Investigating and mitigating equability concerns in biometric algorithms including o Identity verification and identification o Soft-biometric attribute estimation o Presentation attack detection o Template protection o Biometric image generation o Quality assessment *Important Dates* -------------------------------- Full Paper Submission: September 8, 2024 Acceptance Notice: September 20, 2024 Camera-Ready Paper: September 24, 2024 Workshop: December 01, 2024

[Applications now open!] 2 x EPSRC PhD Studentships on CS+Psych projects @ UofGlasgow

by Rachael Jack

Dear all We’re excited to announce 2 x EPSRC-funded PhD Scholarships on CS+Psych projects hosted in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience in collaboration with the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. Please share widely Deadline: 17 June Project 1: The unconscious effect of physical beauty in human social interactions The aim of the project is to investigate how "physical beauty" can bias the outcomes of social decisions (e.g. job interviews). To do this, we aim to create an algorithm able to transform the "physical beauty" of participants in real time and use that algorithm during negotiations to see how it influences social outcomes and non-verbal behavior. We are searching for a multidisciplinary candidate that is interested in real-time computer vision (e.g. voice/face transformation and analysis) as well as social cognition (e.g., social interactions, non-verbal data analysis, social biases). Project description: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/doctoraltraining/mvls-epsrc/projects/pab… Project team members: Pablo Arias Sarah (primary supervisor), Alessandro Vinciarelli (co-supervisor), Mathieu Chollet (co-supervisor) Questions? Contact: pablo.arias(a)glasgow.ac.uk<mailto:pablo.arias@glasgow.ac.uk> Project 2: HIGH-FIDELITY 3D FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION FOR SOCIAL SIGNAL UNDERSTANDING Human faces convey a wealth of rich social and emotional information—for example, facial expressions often convey our internal emotion states while the shape, colour, and texture of faces can betray our age, sex, and ethnicity. As a highly salient source of social information, human faces are integral to shaping social communication and interactions. The faces in the video can be viewed as a temporal sequence of facial images with intrinsic dynamic changes. Establishing correlations between faces in different frames is important for tracking and reconstructing faces from videos. Jointly modelling fine facial geometry and appearance in a data-driven manner enables the model to learn the relationship between a single 2D face image and the corresponding 3D face model and thus reconstruct its high-quality 3D face model by leveraging the high capacity of deep neural networks. This project is to investigate computational methods for high-fidelity 3D facial tracking on videos for social signal analysis in social interaction scenarios. It involves developing computational models for reconstruction of 3D facial details capturing geometric facial expression changes and analysing social signals.

Join Our Workshop on Bridging Academia and Industry in Affective Computing!

by Emma Hughson

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop that aims to break new ground in the realm of affective computing. The workshop, titled “From Lab to Life: Realising the Potential of Affective Computing”, will encourage discussion from both academic and industry experts, which promises to be an enriching experience for both professionals and researchers alike. Machine capabilities are on the rise. New advances in AI and Robotics have enabled the creation of ever more competent artificial systems that have the potential to contribute to various types of human activities. However, for this potential to result in a step-change in how humans and machines interact and work with each other, machines also need to be competent at understanding their human counterparts. How can task-competent machines become competent teammates, assistants, and companions for human users? How can technology make sense of human behaviour, responses, and experiences? Affective Computing research has been spearheading the effort to answer these questions and resolve challenges of human-machine interaction. To take the unique insights and innovations developed in Affective Computing from lab prototypes to robust and reliable technology solutions for human users, there is a need for academic and industry researchers to come together. In this workshop, we create a forum for this conversation structured around three specific themes: (1) ethics and regulations, (2) industry perspectives, and (3) academic perspectives. Here’s what you can expect from the workshop: 1. Expert insights: gain valuable insights from renowned experts in academia and industry who will share their experiences, perspectives, and ethical considerations on affective computing. 2. Interactive discussions: participate in discussions with experts by submitting a 2 page perspective piece and sharing your perspectives during a moderated panel where both you and speakers can discuss. 3. Networking opportunities: connect with fellow participants, industry professionals, and researchers to exchange ideas, forge new partnerships, and explore potential collaborations. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, an industry professional, or someone in-between interested in the latest developments in affective computing, ethical concerns when navigating affective computing to industry, or curious as to how one can safely streamline affective computing products to consumers, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, broaden your network, and contribute to the advancement of this exciting field. We invite you to submit your work and share your insights by submitting to our workshop by June 12th, 2024. For more information what to submit and how, please visit https://www.cambridgeconsultants.com/acii2024-fromlabtolife/<https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/Jk9RC9rmgPhm5KmqTONsSC?domain=cambri…>.

Our New Open Multiracial Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (MRMET)

by Jeremy Wilmer

Hi All, We've created a more inclusive, validated, open alternative to the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET). *Paper here <https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13428-023-02323-x>.* Press release here <https://www.wellesley.edu/news/an-accurate-and-inclusive-test-of-mindreadin…>. Freely downloadable from OSF (osf.io/ahq6n) are both open test materials and *large* normative/validity data sets. Data includes item-by-item information to enable detailed reliability/item analyses. Jeremy p.s. Figure 2 in the paper summarizes some of why we thought a new, inclusive (racially diverse and non-gender-stereotyped) version was worthwhile; and Table S2 in Supp info <https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.3758%2Fs13428-023-02323-x/…> includes some choice quotes from our TestMyBrain.org participants and ManyBrains.net researchers about the original RMET.

Invited Speakers: Professor Shaogang Gong, Queen Mary University of London, Queen Mary Computer Vision Laboratory Professor Frank Pollick, University of Glasgow, School of Psychology and Neuroscience Call for Research Contributions We invite participants for a multi-disciplinary workshop on "Human and Computer Models of Video Understanding". The core research question we are concerned with is: How does the human brain understand people's activities in a video much better than existing computer systems? We invite participants from the science of human vision (psychology or brain sciences) and computer vision, focusing on understanding activities from video. To give some concrete examples: Humans can very quickly make accurate judgements about the activity happening in a video even if the quality of the video is poor, or the motions observed are ambiguous, for example, to discriminate hugging from fighting, or smoking from eating finger food. Computers cannot match human performance in these tasks, which are critical for applications in surveillance, monitoring safety and welfare in a care setting, or removing inappropriate videos from social media. We do not yet fully understand how humans perform these feats, nor how to make computer vision systems reach their performance. We invite human and computer vision science participants to present the latest advances in their fields, in a language accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience. We intend to foster a cross-fertilisation of ideas between the different scientific communities, where each can see ways to incorporate insights and techniques from a foreign field in their models. Moreover we intend to act as a "matchmaker" for new cross-disciplinary partnerships on projects that can incorporate the techniques of separate communities. We plan a future special issue of the journal Transactions in Cognitive and Developmental Systems for the topic "Special issue on Vision Sciences for Video Understanding in Cognitive Systems", where multi-disciplinary teams emerging from this workshop can publish a paper in a presentation accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience. We welcome participation from both junior and senior researchers from academia and industry. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Eye Tracking in Video, Visual Attention and Salient Features in Video, Cognitive Models for Video Understanding, Perceptual Quality in Video Streaming, Multimodal Perception in Videos, Emotion and Affect in Video Viewing, Neuroscience and Brain Imaging in Video Perception, Visual Cognition in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), Attentional Shifts and Change Detection in Video, Video Activity Recognition, Video Object Detection and Tracking, Video Segmentation and Scene Understanding, Event Detection and Recognition in Videos, Video-Based Surveillance and Security, Spatiotemporal Action Localization, Human Vision-Inspired Video Models ORGANISERS Dr Frank Guerin, University of Surrey Dr Andrew Gilbert, University of Surrey Dr Quoc Vuong, Newcastle University =================================== Biosciences Institute Newcastle University Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, NE2 4HH +44 (0)191 208 6183 https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/q.c.vuong/ ===================================
