FAO: Face, Gesture and/or Body Researchers
by Rachael Jack 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

**FAO: Face, Gesture and/or Body Researchers, Psychologists & Neuroscientists** Do you research recognition of the face, gesture and/or body? Could your work push the boundaries of Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition? We at the International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) https://fg2020.org/ would like to invite face, gesture and/or body researchers from Psychology/Neuroscience (or related fields) to join our community and advance understanding of face and gesture recognition by contributing their work. To specifically showcase these new perspectives and opportunities for the FG community, FG2020 (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 18-22 May 2020), will host a select series of Special Sessions that will highlight emerging new fields, novel challenges, and interdisciplinary approaches. If you are a face, gesture and/or body researchers from Psychology/Neuroscience, we strongly encourage you to submit a proposal for a Special Session. Topics can be from the broad areas of face and gesture recognition, modeling, and analysis, and their applications. SUBMISSION DETAILS: https://fg2020.org/special-sessions/ Regards, Rachael Jack (U Glasgow, UK) & Ehsan Hoque (U Rochester, USA) FG2020 Special Session Chairs

CFP Frontiers Research Topic: Closing the Loop: From Human Behavior to Multisensory Robots
by Pablo Barros 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Call For Papers - Frontiers Research Topic: Closing the Loop: From Human Behavior to Multisensory Robots I. Aim and Scope The ability to efficiently process crossmodal information is a key feature of the human brain that provides a robust perceptual experience and behavioral responses. Consequently, the processing and integration of multisensory information streams such as vision, audio, haptics, and proprioception play a crucial role in the development of autonomous agents and cognitive robots, yielding an efficient interaction with the environment also under conditions of sensory uncertainty. This Research Topic invites authors to submit new findings, theories, systems, and trends in multisensory learning for intelligent agents and robots with the aim to foster the development of novel and impactful research which will contribute to the understanding of human behavior and the development of artificial systems operating in real-world environments. II. Potential Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - New methods and applications for crossmodal processing and multisensory integration (e.g. vision, audio, haptics, proprioception) - Machine learning and neural networks for multisensory robot perception - Computational models of crossmodal attention and perception - Bio-inspired approaches for crossmodal learning - Multisensory conflict resolution and executive control - Sensorimotor learning for autonomous agents and robots - Crossmodal learning for embodied and cognitive robots III. Submission - Abstract - 28th August 2019 - Paper Submission - 02nd December 2019 We have special discounts for open access papers participating in this research topic. If you have any further question, please let us know. More information: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/9321/closing-the-loop-from-huma… IV.

17 May '19

*Postdoctoral position in object and face recognition at NYU Abu Dhabi* A postdoctoral research position is open at the Objects and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at New York University Abu Dhabi ( http://www.oliviacheunglab.org/) The postdoctoral researcher will carry out behavioral and fMRI experiments on human object, face, letter, and/or scene recognition. Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on recognition processes. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, or a related field, and should possess strong programming skills (e.g., Matlab). Prior experience with neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques is highly preferred. Initial appointment is for up to two years. Starting date is flexible, preferably between August/September 2019. The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing Psychology division at New York University Abu Dhabi. The lab is located in the campus on Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub), and has access to the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and behavioral facilities (including MRI, MEG, eyetracking). Apart from a generous salary, the postdoctoral researcher will receive housing and other benefits. More information about living in Abu Dhabi can be found here: http://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/campus-life/residential-education-and-housing/livin… New York University has established itself as a Global Network University, a multi-site, organically connected network encompassing key global cities and idea capitals. The network has three foundational degree-granting campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, complimented by a network of eleven research and study-away sites across five continents. Faculty and students circulate within this global network in pursuit of common research interests and the promotion of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary solutions for problems both local and global. Informal inquiries regarding the position, university, or area, are encouraged. To apply, individuals should email a curriculum vita, a brief statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and contact information of two referees. All correspondence should be sent to Olivia Cheung (olivia.cheung(a)nyu.edu) **Olivia Cheung is at the Vision Sciences Society (VSS) conference this week and will be happy to meet with any individuals who are interested in learning more about the position.**

CFP Affective Computing Pre-Conference at ISRE, Amsterdam, 10th July 2019
by Iulia Lefter - TBM 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

Apologies for cross-posting ********************************************************************************************************************** Affective Computing Pre-Conference at ISRE, 10th July 2019 Organizers Joost Broekens, Leiden University (NL) Jonathan Gratch, University of Southern California (USA) Dirk Heylen, Twente University (NL) Summary The Affective Computing Pre-Conference will feature state-of-the-art research on computational techniques for understanding, recognizing and shaping human emotion, and emphasizes ways to strengthen interdisciplinary connections between the computational and human sciences of emotion. Invited speakers will discuss the latest research on computational methods inspired by the affective sciences, as well as on how such methods can transform research in affective science. In addition we will be accepting abstract submissions for Poster and “Flash Talk” presentations (instructions below). Embedding and previous conferences This pre-conference fits in the ACII series of conferences, this year in Cambridge in September. The pre-conference also follows up on the 2017 pre-conference held in Boston at SAS. With this presence at ISRE we reinforce the increasing interest in the interdisciplinary study of emotion in which computational modelling as well as computational analysis play an important role. Abstract Submissions We will be accepting abstract submissions for Poster and “Flash Talk” presentations. Presentations should address topics in affective computing, broadly defined, i.e. emotion recognition, emotion modeling, emotion expression in technological artifacts, and, human (affective) responses to (affective) technology. Anyone is welcome to submit but only a subset of the submissions can be accommodated. To be considered, please submit your extended abstract as pdf to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acisre2019. The extended abstract should be 2 pages, including bibliography and should outline goals of the research, methods used and a summary of the results. Position and/or “blue sky idea” extended abstract are also welcome but need to make the argument in a clear and concise way in the extended abstract. When you submit, indicate at the submission page if you are aiming for a Flash Talk or for a Poster presentation, or whether either form is fine. If you present experimental results of any kind, the data must be collected prior to submission. The deadline for submissions is 10-may-2019. Submissions can span career status from faculty to graduate students. Please note that ISRE registration is required for attending this pre-conference. Do not forget to register through the ISRE main registration system. Invited speakers We are proud to announce our invited speakers including: Rosalind Picard (MIT, USA) Mohamed Chetouani (Sorbonne, FR) Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS – ISIR / Sorbonne University, FR) Rainer Reisenzein (U. Greifswald, DE) Lola Cañamero (U. Hertfordshire, UK) Stacy Marsella (U. Glasgow, UK) Jeff Cohn (U. Pittsburgh / CMU, USA) Michel Valstar (U.
