Call For Papers: Workshop on Context Based Affect Recognition CBAR12

by zakia hammal

***************************************************************************** CBAR 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS SocialCom12 1st International Workshop on CONTEXT BASED AFFECT RECOGNITION http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/ Submission Deadline: May 11th, 2012 ***************************************************************************** The first workshop on "Context Based Affect Recognition" CBAR12 (http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/) wil 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). For details concerning the workshop program, paper submission guidelines, etc. please visit our workshop website at: http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/ Best regards, Zakia Hammal Zakia Hammal, PhD The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University http://www.ri.cmu.edu/ Human-Machine Interaction Facial Expression Recognition Visual Perception http://www.pitt.edu/~emotion/ZakiaHammal.html

time course of adaptation

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, over the years I have tried various face adaptation experiments, with mostly incoherent results, and watched puzzled as everyone else publishes neat little findings. I began to suspect strong temporal effects and we have finally managed to publish some results demonstrating this with adaptation to antifaces: almost all the effect derives from the first few trials; it is as if whatever is adapting gets 'tired' after that. It may be that others have picked up on this already but I figured it might be useful to draw attention to the finding in case there are those who, like me, are baffled by otherwise strange results. http://www.frontiersin.org/perception_science/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00019/abst… Peter Peter Hancock Professor, Deputy Head of Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.

New book on face perception

by Andy Young

Hello everyone, Happy new year! Hard times lead me to kick off the new year with a bit of shameful self-promotion of a new book that may be of interest to some of you: Bruce, V. and Young, A. Face perception. Hove: Psychology Press, 2012, 496 pages, ISBN 978-1-84169-878-6. Further details and a sample chapter are available via the publisher's web site: http://www.cognitivepsychologyarena.com/face-perception-9781841698786 It can be ordered via the publisher or on Amazon. We originally intended this as an update of our previous book (Bruce and Young, 1998, In the eye of the beholder, OUP), but the literature has moved on so much that in the end we were only able to retain a chunk of chapter 1 and some other bits and pieces - the rest is mostly new. We have tried to take a broad perspective on face perception and range fairly widely in terms of sources of evidence. However, there is now such a wealth of studies that many had to be left out. I can only apologise to those whose work may not have received the amount of coverage it deserved. A number of difficult choices had to be made. Cheers, Andy Young.

Opinion poll regarding current research practices

by Jessica Komes

Hi all, On behalf of Susann Fiedler (apologies for cross-posting): Dear fellow psychologists, To maintain high scientific standards in our field, it is extremely important that we regularly take a step back and assess the research, data analysis, reporting, and publication practices that represent the current standards in psychology. You may be aware of the debate going on in the psychological community regarding a recent article that addressed the question of whether current practices should be revised (Simmons et al., 2011, Psychological Science). The article has led to diverse reactions among psychologists; and there is much speculation concerning the popular opinion of "psychologists as a whole" towards the recommendations put forth by the article. In cooperation with the Open Science Framework (http://openscienceframework.org/), we are conducting a worldwide survey of psychologists to determine the extent to which the recommendations in the above mentioned article are supported by the psychological community. Everyone's opinion is important; and it is not necessary that you have read the article in order to participate. Share your opinion about psychological research practices and the quality of publications in psychological journals by participating in this short survey! The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. Participants may also enter into a raffle to win one of three 50$ Amazon gift certificates. Link to survey: http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/extern/9afd/ Please forward this e-mail to your colleagues. Sincerely, Susann Fiedler Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods Kurt-Schumacher-Str. 10 53113 Bonn Germany -- Jessica Komes, M.Sc.

I have lots (200+) of many different races of people expressing disgust, fear, sadness, and laughing. These are in standard def video, which means the faces are relatively small (like 200x200). I am happy to figure out a way to put these videos on-line if people feel they are useful.

Stimulsu request

by Gavin Perry

Dear all, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with some stimuli I'm looking for. I'm after a morph continuum of faces from an average female to an average male face, so that i can present faces with varying degres of male/female-ness. Does anyone have such a set that they are willing to share, or know of a set that is publicly available?

Paper and thesis on orientation and face perception

by James A. Bednar

I am very pleased to announce the publication of the following paper in Vision Research: Chen Zhao, Peggy Seriès, Peter J. B. Hancock, and James A. Bednar. Similar neural adaptation mechanisms underlying face gender and tilt aftereffects. Vision Research, 51(18):2021-2030, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2011.07.014 This paper may be of interest to both computational and psychophysical researchers, because it shows how computational models developed for low-level vision (oriented lines) can help explain higher visual function (face gender perception). Specifically, we found that models based on the primary visual cortex successfully predicted previously unknown and important aspects of face gender perception. These results support the idea that higher vision uses similar mechanisms as early vision, and are in conflict with prevailing theories of face perception that rely on norm-based encoding. Additional details and related models are available in Roger's recently completed PhD: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jbednar/papers/zhao.phd11.pdf We are very interested in hearing feedback about this work, particularly from those working on norm-based theories of higher visual perception.

The Cambridge Car Memory Test

by Hugh Dennett

Hi all, Given that the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) has been very widely used, I thought some of you may be interested to know that we have just published a paper with young adult norms for a new non-face object memory test (the CCMT) with the same format as the CFMT. As with the CFMT, the CCMT has a range suitable for investigating individual differences in the normal adult population. You can access the paper at: http://www.springerlink.com/content/c36317587643qt37/ I have also included the abstract below. Regards, Hugh Dennett -- The Cambridge Car Memory Test: A task matched in format to the Cambridge Face Memory Test, with norms, reliability, sex differences, dissociations from face memory, and expertise effects Hugh W. Dennett, Elinor McKone, Raka Tavashmi, Ashleigh Hall, Madeleine Pidcock, Mark Edwards and Bradley Duchaine Behavior Research Methods DOI: 10.3758/s13428-011-0160-2 Many research questions require a within-class object recognition task matched for general cognitive requirements with a face recognition task. If the object task also has high internal reliability, it can improve accuracy and power in group analyses (e.g., mean inversion effects for faces vs. objects), individual-difference studies (e.g., correlations between certain perceptual abilities and face/object recognition), and case studies in neuropsychology (e.g., whether a prosopagnosic shows a face-specific or object-general deficit). Here, we present such a task. Our Cambridge Car Memory Test (CCMT) was matched in format to the established Cambridge Face Memory Test, requiring recognition of exemplars across view and lighting change. We tested 153 young adults (93 female). Results showed high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .84) and a range of scores suitable both for normal-range individual-difference studies and, potentially, for diagnosis of impairment. The mean for males was much higher than the mean for females. We demonstrate independence between face memory and car memory (dissociation based on sex, plus a modest correlation between the two), including where participants have high relative expertise with cars. We also show that expertise with real car makes and models of the era used in the test significantly predicts CCMT performance. Surprisingly, however, regression analyses imply that there is an effect of sex per se on the CCMT that is not attributable to a stereotypical male advantage in car expertise. -- Hugh Dennett Ph.D. Candidate Department of Psychology The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 E: hugh.dennett(a)anu.edu.au T: +61 2 6125 2716 W: http://psychology.anu.edu.au/_people/people_details.asp?recId=177
