Research post in face recognition at Stirling

by Peter Hancock

I have a vacancy for a postdoc at Stirling to work on human face recognition. It's part of a 5 year EPSRC-funded project to improve the state of the art in computer face recognition, so we shall be working closely with computer scientists at the University of Surrey and Imperial College. This post is for an initial two years, with the possibility of extension. The research questions will include: * What are the effects of viewpoint, lighting and sensor noise on human familiar face recognition? * How much experience, what range of imagery, does it take to shift humans from unfamiliar face matching to familiar face recognition? * How useful to human observers are the image normalisation techniques developed for the computer recognition systems? * In general, therefore, how do human and computer abilities compare across the range of issues being tackled in this project? * How do humans achieve what they do? Further details here: http://www.stir.ac.uk/about/jobs/details/index.html?id=QUUFK026203F3VBQB7V7… Closing date is 22 Feb. There will be a second post on offer later this year. I shall also shortly be advertising a PhD studentship, aimed at modelling human face recognition. Feel free to contact me with queries.

Public lecture: Vicki Bruce on Face Fallacies, 1st October

by Peter Hancock

Apologies to those living outside Scotland, but you are invited to our annual John Damien lecture, this year given by Professor Vicki Bruce on 'Face Fallacies': In this lecture I will describe popular misconceptions about memory for faces, and the identification of face images in passport or CCTV images, and consider their implications in legal and security settings. I will describe how research by psychologists, much of it conducted in Stirling and other universities in Scotland, has helped improve the systems used to question witnesses and guide the courts. Nevertheless, miscarriages of justice based upon misidentification remain a cause for concern. The event will take place on Thursday 01 October 2015 in the Logie Lecture Theatre at the University of Stirling, at 6:30 pm. The lecture will be accompanied by a workshop on the same day, 1st October -if you are interested in attending please get in touch with me.

database of East Asian and/or Caucasian faces with natural gaze deviations?

by Kate Crookes

Hi All, We are hoping to find a source of face photographs with natural gaze deviations (i.e. where the models moved their eyes rather than having irises photoshopped). We need direct gaze and deviations from subtly averted (e.g., 2 degrees from direct) to obviously averted (e.g., 6 degrees from direct). We need both East Asian (preferably Chinese) and Caucasian faces ideally from the same database but we are open to getting them from different databases. Not asking for much are we ;-) If anybody knows of any databases that we can access we would love to hear from you.

averaging faces

by Emma Mullings

Hi there, I have been using psychomorph to average 3 faces at a time. The images are really impressive, however the neck is a bit problematic. I've attached an image as an example (left side of face just under the jawline). I was wondering if you had any advice to how I could rectify this? I was also wondering if it was possible to add more delineation points to an image? Best wishes Emma Dr. Emma Mullings | Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, G700, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT | 0161 275 7432 | 07970 103411 | emma.mullings(a)manchester.ac.uk<mailto:emma.mullings@manchester.ac.uk> Visit our website to find out more about the PERS study http://www.inflammation-repair.manchester.ac.uk/PERS [PERS QR code]

In this project we build on existing bodies of research regarding moving faces and composite creation, and investigate the role of motion in the recognition of identity from composites. In a criminal investigation, facial composites are images constructed by witnesses and victims of people they have seen to commit crime. This project will aid the theoretical understanding of the moving face advantage and investigate the interaction, and the relative importance, of static and dynamic information available from the face. Research on this issue may also aid the development of useful composite Your role will be to be set up, run and analyse the experiments involved in the project. You will have a degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline, with a strong interest in studying experimental psychology and, more specifically, face perception and recognition. Experience in scientific research and running experiments, particularly with human volunteers, is important. Good communication and team working skills are essential and familiarity with experimental presentation, statistical software packages (e.g. SPSS) and composite creation systems (e.g. Evo-FIT, PRO-fit) would be useful. Ideally you will also have experience of image manipulation and creation techniques, including running command line tools to manipulate data. Closing date is 22nd August 2015 Many thanks Karen Lander Senior Lecturer University of Manchester

Extended Deadline: INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015: The First International Workshop on Modeling Interpersonal Synchrony

by zakia hammal

************************************************ CFP - Apologies for multiple copies ************************************************ ******** EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 2nd, 2015! ******** The First International Workshop on Modeling INTERPERsonal SynchrONy - INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015 (http://interpersonalicmi2015.isir.upmc.fr) @the17th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2015) (http://icmi.acm.org/2015/) _______ SCOPE _______ Understanding human behavior through computer vision and signal processing has become of major interest with the emergence of social signal processing and affective computing andtheir applications to human-computer interaction. With few exceptions, research has focusedon detection of individual persons, their nonverbal behavior in the context of emotion and related psychosocial constructs. With advances in methodology, there is increasing interest inadvancing beyond the individual to social interaction of multiple individuals. This level of analysis brings to the fore detection and understanding of interpersonal influence and interpersonal synchrony in social interaction. Interpersonal synchrony in social interaction between interactive partners is the dynamic andreciprocal adaptation of their verbal and nonverbal behaviors. It affords both a novel domain for computer vision and machine learning, as well as a novel context with which to examine individual variation in cognitive, physiological, and neural processes in the interacting members. Interdisciplinary approaches to interpersonal synchrony are encouraged. Investigating these complex phenomena has both theoretical and practical applications. The proposed workshop will explore the challenges of modeling, recognition, and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. It will address theory, computational models, and algorithms for the automatic analysis and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. We wish to explore both influence and interpersonal synchrony in human-human and human-machine interaction in dyadic and multi-person scenarios. Expected topics include definition of different categories of interpersonal synchrony and influence, multimodal corpora annotation of interpersonal influence, dynamics of relevant behavioral patterns, and synthesis and recognition of verbal and nonverbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony and influence.The INTERPERSONAL workshop will afford opportunity for discussing new applications such as clinical assessment, consumer behavior analysis, and design of socially aware interfaces. The INTERPERSONAL workshop will identify and promote research challenges relevant to this exciting topic of synchrony. ______________ LIST OF TOPICS ______________ We encourage papers and demos addressing, but not limited to, the following research topics: - Theoretical approaches to interpersonal synchrony in human/human and human/machine interaction - Analysis and detection of non-verbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Models taking into account the relatioship between influence and synchrony - Analysis and detection of physiological signals - Modeling interpersonal synchrony in dyadic and in multi-party social interaction - Psychological correlates of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Analysis and detection of functional roles, persuasion, trust, dominance and so on - Recording and annotation of corpora that vary in degree of experimental control - Qualitative and quantitative evaluation - Design of social agents and dialog systems. _________________________ SUBMISSIONS AND REVISIONS _________________________ Long paper: 8 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted long papers will be presented as long talk or a poster. Short paper: 4 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted short papers will be presented as either a short talk or a poster. Submissions should include: title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), tel/fax number(s), and postal address(es). The papers have to be submitted at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=interpersonalicmi201 All the contributions will be subject to a peer-review by at least three reviewers from the Program Committee. INTERPERSONAL review is double blind, that is the authors do not know the name of the reviewers and the reviewers do not know the names of the authors. As a consequence, each submission should be anonymised: please, remove the authors names and all the information that could identify the authors. __________ DEADLINES __________ August 2nd, 2015: Submission deadline August 25th, 2015: Notification of acceptance August 17th, 2015: Camera ready version due to electronic form November 13th, 2015: 2015 INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015 Workshop ______________ ORGANIZATION ______________ Mohamed Chetouani, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (mohamed.chetouani at upmc.fr) Giovanna Varni, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (varni at isir.upmc.fr) Hanan Salam, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (salam at isir.umpc.fr) Zakia Hammal The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University (zakia_hammal at yahoo.fr) Jeffrey F.
