REMINDER Call For Papers: Workshop on Context Based Affect Recognition CBAR12

by zakia hammal

***************************************************************************** REMINDER CBAR 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS SocialCom12 1st International Workshop on CONTEXT BASED AFFECT RECOGNITION http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/ Submission Deadline: June 4th, 2012 ********************************************************************************************* The first workshop on "Context Based Affect Recognition" CBAR12 (http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/) will be held in conjunction with the 2012 ASE/IEEE International Conference on Social Computing SocialCom2012 (http://www.asesite.org/conferences/socialcom/2012/). ----------------------------- Workshop Description ----------------------------- The past 20 years has witnessed an increasing number of efforts for automatic recognition of human affect using facial, vocal, body as well as physiological signals. Several research areas could benefit from such systems: interactive teaching systems, which allow teachers to be aware of student stress and inattention; accident prevention, such as driver fatigue detection; medical tools for automatic diagnosis and monitoring such as the diagnosis of cognitive disorder (e.g. depression, anxiety and autism) and pain assessment. However, despite the significant amount of research on automatic affect recognition, the current state of the art has not yet achieved the long-term objective of robust affect recognition, particularly context based affect analysis and interpretation. Indeed, it is well known that affect production is accordingly displayed in a particular context, such as the undergoing task, the other people involved, the identity and natural expressiveness of the individual. The context tells us which expressions are more likely to occur and thus can bias the classifier toward the most likely/relevant classes. Without context, even humans may misunderstand the observed facial expression. By tackling the issues of context based affect recognition, i.e. careful study of contextual information and its relevance in domain-specific applications, its representation, and its effect on the performance of existing affect recognition methods, we make a step towards real-world, real-time affect recognition. ----------------------------- Workshop Objectives ----------------------------- Context related affect analysis is still an unexplored area for automatic affect recognition given the difficulty of modeling this variable and of its introduction in the classification process. Unconsciously, humans evaluate situations based on environment and social parameters when recognizing emotions in social interactions. Contextual information helps us interpret and respond to social interactions. The purpose of the workshop is to explore the benefits and drawbacks of integrating context on affect production, interpretation and recognition. We wish to investigate what methodologies can be applied to include contextual information in emotion corpora, how it ought to be represented, what contextual information are relevant (i.e. is it domain specific or not?), and how it will improve the performance of existing frameworks for affect recognition. The workshop is relevant in the study of naturalistic social interactions since contextual information cannot be discounted in doing automatic analysis of human behavior. Embedding contextual information, such as culture, provides a different flavor to each interaction, and makes for an interesting scientific study. Such kinds of analysis lead us to consider real-world parameters and complexities in affect recognition, especially in developing human-centric systems. For the workshop weinvite scientists working in related areas of affective computing, ambient computing, machine learning, psychology and cognitive behavior to share their expertise and achievements in the emerging field of automatic and context based affect analysis and recognition. ----------------------------- Workshop Topics ----------------------------- New and unpublished papers on, but not limited to, the following topics: · Context source detection. · Context interpretation and analysis. · Context based affect production · Context based facial affect recognition · Context based vocal affect recognition · Context based gesture affect recognition · Context based multimodal fusion. · Applications (Context related affect applications).

Emotional faces and software

by Colin Tredoux

Dear Marieke, 1. There is a very good set at Radboud University in the Netherlands; google them 2. We have a synthetic face generator (at the University of Cape Town) that also generates a number of emotions in the faces. Tests show that the emotions are well recognised by human observers. The database underlying the model is quite small, but the resulting stimuli are quite good. We would be happy for you to use it, if you would like.

set of emotional face images to use in an EEG study

by Marieke Roebuck

Dear all, I am a Masters student at the University of Sussex and am about to start my dissertation project on mirror neurone response to emotional faces. I am currently trying to track down a set of emotional face images to use as stimuli. I had hoped to find a set in my department, but so far have had no luck. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Many thanks. Marieke

PhD opportunities in face processing at Bournemouth University, UK

by Sarah Bate

Dear all, I would very much appreciate it if you could circulate the following PhD opportunities to any interested students/lab members: A fully-funded PhD studentship at Bournemouth University (UK) is available, for a project entitled "Face facts: Why face processing skills should be improved in forensic and national security settings." The scholarship covers tuition fees for three years, and provides a £14,000 per year stipend. A number of Vice-Chancellor Doctoral (fee waive only) scholarships are also available, and I would be very happy to hear from potential candidates interested in carrying out investigations into face processing, particularly examining face recognition impairments in adults and children with prosopagnosia, autisitc spectrum disorder, or Moebius syndrome. Further information can be obtained by contacting me directly (sbate(a)bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:sbate@bournemouth.ac.uk>). Many thanks for your help, Sarah This email is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential information.

Google Scholar pages

by Andy Young

Hi everyone, Some of you may not know that a few months ago Google Scholar introduced a facility that lets you create a personal page where you can list your publications and track citations. Like ResearcherID.com, but it covers a wider range of sources (e.g. books and chapters as well as journals) and offers citation alerts and so on. See the explanatory URL: http://scholar.google.co.uk/intl/en/scholar/citations.html I've already found this useful for a range of reasons. For example, it's a simpler way of finding out what someone has done than a literature search, it allows you to follow what former students and colleagues are up to, you can create alerts for when someone whose work interests you publishes a paper, or for when a key paper you're interested in gets cited. I also used it to create pages for Hadyn Ellis and Freda Newcombe, which may be helpful to anyone who is interested in where current cognitive and neuropsychological approaches came from. The downside seems to be that searching the content isn't very effective at the moment. For example, the keywords 'face perception', 'face recognition' and 'face processing' will find different sets of people. But since Google is behind this, I'm guessing this will be improved. Cheers, Andy Young.
