INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015: The First International Workshop on Modeling Intersonal Synchrony

by zakia hammal

************************************************ CFP - Apologies for multiple copies ************************************************ The First International Workshop on Modeling INTEPERsonal SynchrONy - INTERPERSNAL@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 tothis 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 conference format. Accepted long papers will be presented as long talk or a poster. Short paper: 4 pages maximum in the two-column ACM conference format.

PhD opportunity at Stirling

by Peter Hancock

http://www.stir.ac.uk/natural-sciences/news/2015/psychologystudentship/ Evolutionary approaches to the social perception of faces using a range of stimuli and measures. This studentship will investigate how evolutionary pressures may shape our processing of faces across a range of social perceptual tasks, using a variety of stimulus types, and using a variety of response measures. In recent years, an evolutionary approach has shed light on how we perceive the attractiveness of faces. This evolutionary framework has also been applied to the perception of leadership, the attribution of personality traits, and the recognition of identity from face images. Much of this previous work relies on the 2D facial photographs and explicit judgements. For example, attractiveness is often assessed by showing participants 2D photographs and asking them to rate the image for attractiveness. The goal of this studentship is to address the impact of the type of stimulus used and the type of measure employed in conclusions about judging faces. The student will then explore the social perception of faces using a variety of stimuli (e.g., 2D faces, 3D faces, moving faces) and a range of measures of preference and attention (e.g., explicit and implicit preferences, eye-tracking). More information about current research topics can be found at: www.alittlelab.com<http://www.alittlelab.com/> Deadline 31 July Peter Hancock Professor, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://rms.stir.ac.uk/converis-stirling/person/11587 Psychology at Stirling: 100% 4* Impact, REF2014

PhD Studentship: Adaptive perspectives on social signals within the human face

by Robert Ward

Hello, I am advertising to offer a fully-funded PhD studentship at Bangor University (UK/EU fees, stipend, travel and research expenses) starting in Oct 2015, to investigate social attributions to faces. The position would be most appropriate for someone who already has, or is currently enrolled in, an MSc in psychology or related area. A general description and link to the ad is below. As you can see, there is some deliberate flexibility for the student to shape the project topic. If you are interested, please contact me to discuss. The deadline for applications is 27 Feb. Thank you, Rob Professor Robert Ward Wolfson Centre for Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience School of Psychology Bangor University Bangor LL57 2AS http://psychology.bangor.ac.uk/ward http://www.bangor.ac.uk/psychology/postgraduate/studentships/human-face.php… Humans are both highly visual and highly social beings, and people are quick to make attributions of personality and other social traits on the basis of mere appearance. For the past few years my students and I have been investigating the accuracy of visually-based judgements from the face, and in a series of studies have found that these attributions can be surprisingly accurate, even when based on neutral "passport"-style photographs. Within such photographs is enough information to identify stable personality traits and aspects of mental health in strangers (e.g., papers from former PhD students: Kramer & Ward, 2010; Jones et al, 2012; Scott et al, 2013). Such findings raise a number of issues to be explored in this studentship. A key general issue is whether these facial cues to behaviour are part of an evolved signal system. Theories of evolved signal systems emphasise the co-evolution of the signal sender and receiver. For the system to remain stable, it must have benefits for both the sender and receiver. What adaptive benefits might there be for someone to signal their socially undesirable traits to others? Can facial signals be masked to deceive the receiver? For example, to what extent is signal disrupted by voluntary emotional expressions? A second general issue surrounds the signal content. That is, what is the facial information that observers use to identify social traits? Possibilities include subtle micro-expressions, postures, facial morphology, and more. Finally, what are the causal factors that might produce a joint influence on facial appearance and behaviour? Within the context of these general issues, there is scope for the student to shape the project aims and focus.

grtools: Analyze perceptual independence using general recognition theory (a.k.a. multidimensional signal detection theory) in R

by Fabián Soto

Dear colleagues, We have developed a new R package, called grtools, that can be used to analyze psychophysical data to determine the independence and separability of perceptual dimensions. The analyses use general recognition theory (GRT; a.k.a multidimensional signal detection theory) to test for perceptual independence and separability while controlling for the influence of decisional processes. We designed the package to be easy to use for non-experts. Thus, full analyses can be performed through only a couple of commands. grtools provides functions for the following analyses: 1. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using the GRT-wIND (GRT with INdividual Differences) model of identification data. 2. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using traditional GRT models of identification data. 3. Summary statistics analyses (i.e., Kadlec's MSDA) of identification data. 4. Summary statistics analyses of data from the Garner filtering task. For more information and instructions on how to install the package, please visit the following page: https://github.com/fsotoc/grtools Best, Fabian A. Soto F. Gregory Ashby -- Fabian A.

The pictures should be coloured and portraits would be nice but not compulsorily necessary as I can crop them myself. In total I would need just 20 pairs while 10 should be male and 10 should be female. These pictures will be used in an experiment with pet dogs at a touchscreen to investigate if they can read and distinguish emotions. Can somebody tell me, where I can get such pictures? Or maybe somebody has such pictures and can help me out? Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers, Anjuli -- M.Sc.
