PhD scholarship in face identification at UNSW Sydney

by David White

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. For more details and to apply see the following links: https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/understanding-… http://forensic.psy.unsw.edu.au/joinus.html https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/<https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/understanding-…> Please direct informal inquiries to david.white(a)unsw.edu.au<mailto:david.white@unsw.edu.au>

OMG- Emotion Recognition Challenge - Final Results

by Pablo Barros

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.

Face and gesture recognition meeting

by Peter Hancock

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 Peter Hancock Professor, Deputy Head of Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://stir.ac.uk/190 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6025-7068 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-4633-2009 Psychology at Stirling: 100% 4* Impact, REF2014 Come and study Face Perception at the University of Stirling!

PhD studentships at Stirling

by Peter Hancock

I have two funded studentships available for start in October (or earlier, if convenient), to work in the general area of human face perception and recognition. I'd be interested in working with someone on computational modelling for one of them, for which some facility in a programming language such as Matlab or Python would be helpful. One is funded by the Dylis Crabtree Scholarship, for which preference will be given to female applicants. Both are funded for UK/EU citizens only. The studentships will be based in the Face Lab at Stirling and join two postdocs working on the EPSRC-funded FACER2VM project (https://facer2vm.org/). Please get in touch with me directly in the first instance to discuss your interests, pjbh1(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:pjbh1@stir.ac.uk>. I have no formal closing date but hope to make decisions by early May.

The OMG-Emotion Recognition Challenge

by Pablo Barros

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The One-Minute Gradual-Emotion Recognition (OMG-Emotion) held in partnership with the WCCI/IJCNN 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. https://www2.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wtm/OMG-EmotionChallenge/ I. Aim and Scope Our One-Minute-Gradual Emotion Dataset (OMG-Emotion Dataset) is composed of 420 relatively long emotion videos with an average length of 1 minute, collected from a variety of Youtube channels. The videos were selected automatically based on specific search terms related to the term ``monologue''. Using monologue videos allowed for different emotional behaviors to be presented in one context and that changes gradually over time. Videos were separated into clips based on utterances, and each utterance was annotated by at least five independent subjects using the Amazon Mechanical Turk tool. To maintain the contextual information for each video, each annotator watched the clips of a video in sequence and had to annotate each video using an arousal/valence scale and a categorical emotion based on the universal emotions from Ekman. The participants are encouraged to use crossmodal information in their models, as the videos were labeled by humans without distinction of any modality. II. How to Participate To participate, please send us an email to barros(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de with the title "OMG-Emotion Recognition Team Registration". This e-mail must contain the following information: Team Name Team Members Affiliation Each team can have a maximum of 5 participants. You will receive from us the access to the dataset and all the important information about how to train and evaluate your models. For the final submission, each team will have to send us a .csv file containing the final arousal/valence values for each of the utterances on the test dataset. We also request a link to a GitHub repository where your solution must be stored, and a link to an ArXiv paper with 4-6 pages describing your model and results. The best papers will be invited to submit their detailed research to a journal yet to be specified. Also, the best participating teams will hold an oral presentation about their solution during the WCCI/IJCNN 2018 conference. III. Important Dates Publishing of training and validation data with annotations: March 14, 2018. Publishing of the test data, and an opening of the online submission: April 11, 2018. Closing of the submission portal: April 13, 2018. Announcement of the winner through the submission portal: April 18, 2018. IV. Organization Pablo Barros, University of Hamburg, Germany Egor Lakomkin, University of Hamburg, Germany Henrique Siqueira, Hamburg University, Germany Alexander Sutherland, Hamburg University, Germany Stefan Wermter, Hamburg University, Germany --------------------------
