Dear all,
we just published a database of 500 Mooney face stimuli for visual
perception research. Please find the paper here:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0200106
Each face was tested in a cohort of healthy adults for face detection
difficulty and inversion effects. We also provide a comparison with Craig
Mooney's original stimulus set. The stimuli and accompanying data are
available from Figshare (https://figshare.com/account/articles/5783037)
under a CC BY license. Please feel free to use them for your research.

Call for Expressions of Interest: UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship
"Understanding super-recognition to improve face identification systems"
The UNSW Forensic Psychology Group invites Expressions of Interest for a unique PhD scholarship opportunity.
UNSW Scientia PhD scholars are awarded $50k per year, comprising a tax-free living allowance of $40k per year for 4 years, and a support package of up to $10k per year to provide financial support for career development activities.
The project is targeted at PhD candidates that are qualified to honours and/or masters level in psychology, computer science of cognitive science. We are particularly interested to hear from applicants with work experience in research, government or industry.
The topic of this thesis is open to negotiation, but we hope that the work can contribute to our broader goal of understanding how the best available human and machine solutions to face identification can be combined to produce optimal systems.

Dear all,
I would like to share with you all the results of our first OMG- Emotion
Recognition Challenge.
Our challenge is based on the One-Minute-Gradual Emotion Dataset
(OMG-Emotion Dataset), which is composed of 567 emotion videos with an
average length of 1 minute, collected from a variety of Youtube
channels. Each team had a task to describe each video with a continuous
space of arousal/valence domain.
The challenge had a total of 34 teams registered, from which we got 11
final submissions. Each final submission was composed of a short paper
describing the solution and the link to the code repository.
The solutions used different modalities (ranging from unimodal audio and
vision to multimodal audio, vision, and text), and thus provide us with
a very complex evaluation scenario. All the submissions were based on
neural network models.
We split results into arousal and valence. For arousal, the best results
came from the GammaLab team. Their three submissions are our top 3 CCC
arousal, followed by the three submissions from the audEERING team, and
the two submissions from the HKUST-NISL2018
team.
For valence, the GammaLab team stays still in first (with their three
submissions), followed by the two submissions of ADSC team and the three
submissions from the iBug team.
Congratulations to you all!
We provide a leaderboard on our website (
https://www2.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wtm/OMG-EmotionChallenge/ ),
which will be permanently stored. This way, everyone can see the final
results of the challenge, have a quick access to a formal description of
the solutions and to the codes. This will help to disseminate knowledge
even further and will improve the reproducibility of your solutions.
We also provide a general leaderboard which will be updated constantly
with new submissions. If you are interested in having your score in our
general leaderboard, just send us an e-mail following the instructions
on our website.
I would also to invite you all to the presentation of the challenge
summary during the WCCI/IJCNN 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Best Regards,
Pablo

This year's automatic face and gesture recognition conference has not yet happened but we already have the call for next year's which will be in France. There is a desire to get more cross-fertilisation between psychology and computer science in this field; I think it would be great to have a session on the latest advances in understanding the psychology of face perception. Please think whether you might have something useful to say.
Thanks, Peter

Dear fellow face researchers,
The 34th Annual BPS Cognitive Psychology Section Conference will be held at Liverpool Hope University 29-31st August 2018. Abstract submissions are now open and close on 1st May 2018. We invite members of the face research list to consider submitting an abstract.
Our conference is always well attended by face researchers from the UK and beyond with face perception research always well represented in the programme and a particular highlight of the conference for many. This year there will be a symposia on 'Recent Developments in Person Perception' Chaired by Dr Andrew Dunn. Keynote speakers will be Prof Fernand Gobet, Prof James Nairne and the final keynote will be delivered by the winner of the 2018 Cognitive Section Award.
We also offer bursaries<https://www1.bps.org.uk/networks-and-communities/member-microsite/cognitive…> to assist postgraduate students to attend and present posters / papers at the conference, up to £400 per applicant.
To submit an abstract or for more information about the conference please visit the conference webpage<http://www.hope.ac.uk/cognitiveconference/>.
