by Alicia Nortje

Dear all, *This is a friendly reminder about the 8th Face Science Symposium that will take place on Tuesday, 17 November 2020 at 08h30, to start at 09h00 and to end at 13h00.* The Face Science Symposium is a joint research and support initiative between the Eyewitness Research Group (UCT, Department of Psychology), the South African Police Service, and Facial Identification Researchers and Practitioners. The initiative was formed in 2014, and we have held a conference every year since. *The format is different this year because the symposium will be hosted online.* We aim to have between 5 and 7 speakers, depending on the number of keynote speakers. All presentations will be 20 minutes long, with 5-10 minutes for questions/discussion. *There is no cost involved; therefore, it is free to attend or to present.* *To register for the conference, as a delegate or a speaker, please go here:https://forms.gle/XFKMpw8ZUK91MjV79 <https://forms.gle/XFKMpw8ZUK91MjV79>* *Registration as a delegate closes on 12 November.The deadline for abstract submissions is 30 October.* We want to ensure *a range of topics*, therefore submission of an abstract is not a guarantee that you will be presenting. Therefore, we will confirm with you (between 30 October and 5 November) if your abstract submission was successful. Registration as a delegate is immediately successful. Previous topics include police interviewing techniques, eyewitness memory for multiple perpetrator crimes, interviewing witnesses, reconstruction of faces from skulls), drawing techniques for faces, different tools for constructing composites, and person recognition from CCTV footage. *Please share this e-mail far and wide.* We are not limited by physical borders this year, so we can accommodate international delegates and attendees. Our original intention for this collaboration was to foster discussion and research between researchers and practitioners who are interested in questions and issues about faces. Therefore, as always, we would like a mix of presentations, ranging from academic topics (from different departments), in-field experience/case studies/cases, and practical presentations. Please do not RSVP to me personally; instead, RSVP through the link above. If you have questions or issues, then you are welcome to e-mail me. Thanks in advance, and looking forward to spending the day with you at the virtual symposium.

Call for Abstracts - Workshop on Affective Shared Perception (WASP) - ICDL-EPIROB 2020

by Pablo Vinicius Alves De Barros

Call For Abstracts - Workshop on Affective Shared Perception (WASP) Dear all, We are delighted to invite you to submit an abstract, and to participate in our Workshop on Affective Shared Perception (WASP), hosted by the International Conference on Developmental Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EPIROB2020). Please find below all the information! Cheers, Pablo I. Aim and Scope Our perception of the world, in particular, the ones which are influenced by affective understanding, depends both on sensory perception and prior knowledge. Most of the current research on modeling affective behavior as computer models ground their contribution to pre-trained learning models, which are purely data-driven, or on reproducing existing human behavior. Such approaches allow for easily reproducible solutions that fail when applied to complex social scenarios. Understanding shared perception as part of the affective processing mechanisms will allow us to tackle this problem and to provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss new findings, theories, systems, and trends in computational models of affective shared perception. The workshop will feature a multidisciplinary list of invited speakers with experience in different aspects of social interaction, which will allow a rich and diverse debate about our overarching theme of affective shared perception. The workshop is scheduled to happen on the 30th of October of 2020 virtually. It will start at 15h00 CET and it will have a total duration of 3h30min. The participation is free, and a Zoom room will be available shortly before the workshop starts. II. Registration The registration to the workshop is free, but to guarantee a place to attend the workshop, please register here: shorturl.at/ciCQX III. Potential Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - Affective perception and learning - Affective modulation and decision making - Developmental perspectives of shared perception - Machine learning for shared perception - Bio-inspired approaches for affective shared perception - Affective processing for embodied and cognitive robots - Multisensory modeling for conflict resolution in shared perception - New psychological findings on shared perception - Assistive aspects and applications of shared affective perception IV. Invited Speakers Prof. Dr. Ginevra Castellano - Uppsala University, Sweeden Prof. Dr. Ellen Souza - Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Brazil Prof. Dr. Yukie Nagai - The University of Tokyo, Japan V. Submission Prospective participants in the workshop are invited to submit a contribution as an abstract with a maximum of 350 words. Submission information: https://www.whisperproject.eu/wasp2020 The abstracts will be peer-reviewed by experts from all over the world. To encourage the integration with the local affective computing communities, we will allow student abstracts to be submitted in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Each accepted abstract will be presented as a 5 min video (in English!) that will be shared on the workshop's social media. During the workshop, all the videos will be streamed and the authors will have a joint live Q/A with the audience for 60minutes. Participants can also opt-in for participating in our Frontiers Research Topic on Affective Shared Perception ( https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/16086/affective-shared-percepti…). The same abstract sent to the workshop can be sent as an abstract submission to the research topic. If you want to opt-in for the research topic, only English submissions will be accepted. - Abstract submission deadline: 12th of October - Notification of acceptance: 17th of October - Frontiers Research Topic Abstract Deadline: 24th of October - Video submission: 24th of October VI.

[IJCB 2020]: Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition (SSBC 2020) - Call for Participants

by ABHIJIT DAS

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS - SSBC 2020 ******************************************************** Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition (SSBC 2020) Held in conjunction with IEEE/IAPR IJCB 2020https://ieee-biometrics.org/ijcb2020/Program.html#acom Important dates: Registration is already open SSBC Website: https://sites.google.com/view/ssbc2020/home ******************************************************** We invite research groups working on ocular biometrics, segmentation problems or other related vision tasks to take part in the 2020 Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition (SSBC 2020). Sclera biometrics have gained significant popularity among emerging ocular traits in the last few years. In order to establish the sclera as a viable biometric trait and to evaluate its potential for automated biometric systems, several works have been presented in the literature, using the sclera vasculature as a standalone biometric trait and in combination with the iris. Despite these initiatives, sclera biometrics need to be studied more extensively to ascertain their usefulness. Among the numerous challenges still open in this area, efficient and robust sclera segmentation is among the most important ones, affecting all downstream tasks, ranging from normalization to recognition. While a considerable amount of research has been directed towards sclera segmentation in recent years, the performance of existing techniques especially in cross-sensor scenarios and across different acquisition conditions is still not well explored. To investigate these issues, to document recent developments and to attract (and raise) the interest of researchers in this emerging biometric trait, we are organzing SSBC 2020 - a competition (and group benchmarking effort) held in conjunction with IJCB 2020 focusing on the problem of sclera segmentation. The competition builds on past sclera segmentation competitions, namely SSBC 2015, SSRBC 2016, SSERBC 2017, SSBC 2018 and SSBC 2019 held in conjunction with BTAS 2015, ICB 2016, IJCB 2017, ICB 2018 and ICB 2019 respectively. SSBC 2020 is the next in the series of sclera segmentation challenges and aims to benchmark sclera segmentation models in both cross sensor settings as well as across different acquisition conditions. The competition is open to everyone. Registartion is already open. For details see: https://sites.google.com/view/ssbc2020/home *** SUMMARY PAPER *** All participating researchers (achieving competitive performance) will be invited as co-authors for a summary paper of SSBC 2020 that will send for consideration at IJCB 2020. *** ORGANIZERS *** Dr. Abhijit Das, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India Prof. Umapada Pal, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India Prof. Peter Peer, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenija Assoc.

Across computer science, robotics, psychology and the commercial world, there has been a rapid growth in the research, development and application of artificial social agents. Computer scientists and roboticists are researching graphics-based and physical social agents. Psychologists and neuroscientists are using these artifacts in laboratory experiments in order to study our interaction with them as well as to use them as confederates in the study of human behavior. Companies are actively developing similar technologies. However, these communities too rarely interact even though there are close synergies between psychology, the study of human behavior, and artificial social agents, the engineering of human behavior. The design of an artificial social agent involves the formalization of theories and data about human behavior, integration of resulting models into an agent and evaluation of its behavior, leveraging techniques derived from psychology. Each of these steps can in return be of fundamental value to psychological research. For example, formalization and integration forces one to concretely specify theoretical constructs and thereby expose hidden assumptions and gaps in theories. IVA 2020's Special Topic provides an invitation to researchers and developers across disciplines to share their work on the challenges and uses of social agent research, in the hope to further trans-disciplinary collaboration. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Paper submissions should be anonymous and prepared in the "ACM Standard" format, more specifically the "SigConf" format. - The LaTeX template for the "ACM Standard"/"SigConf" format can be found inside the official 2017 ACM Master article template package. Please use the most recent version available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#h-latex-authors - The "ACM Standard" Microsoft Word template is currently not part of the downloadable package as the ACM is currently revising it to improve accessibility of resulting PDF-documents. Please use the "Interim Word Template" instead as per the instructions in: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#h-word-authors IVA 2020 accepts two types of submissions: - Full Papers: 8 pages (including references) - Extended Abstracts: 3 pages (including references) All papers must be submitted in PDF-format. - Supplementary material: IVA 2020 does not contemplate the upload of supplementary material. If necessary to direct readers to supplemental data, we encourage authors to host such material in a public repository and add a link to it in the paper.
