CALL FOR PAPERS: 8th Int. Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding
(HBU) in conjunction with 2nd Int. Workshop on Automatic Face
Analytics for Human Behavior Understanding (FaceHUB) at IEEE Face &
Gesture 2018 - Xi'An, 15-19 May 2018
https://www.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/hbu/2018/
Workshop Description
With development of computer vision and sensor technology, it becomes
possible to analyze human behavior via various ways at different
time-scales and at different levels of interaction and interpretation.
Understanding human behavior automatically opens up enormous
possibilities for human-computer interaction, with a potential of
endowing the computers with a capacity to attribute meaning to users'
attitudes, preferences, personality, social relationships, etc., as
well as to understand what people are doing, the activities they have
been engaged in, and their routines.
This workshop aims to inspect developments in selected areas where
smarter computers that can sense human behavior have great potential
to revolutionize the application domain. We ultimately seek to
re-define the relationship between the computer and the interacting
human, moving the computer from a passive observer role to a socially
active participant role and enabling it to drive different kinds of
interaction.
The 8th Int. Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU) and 2nd
Int. Workshop on Automatic Face Analytics for Human Behavior
Understanding (FaceHUB) are jointly organized at IEEE FG as a
single-track, one day event, to gather researchers on behavior
analysis and analytics. It will have two specific focus sessions
dealing with "face analytics" and "behavior analysis for smart cars".
Session 1 "Face analytics": There is strong evidence that face
analytic for human behavior understanding could also be highly
beneficial in human computer interaction. Application scenarios
include analyzing emotions while the person is watching emotional
movies or advertisements, playing video games, driving a car, is under
health monitoring or crime investigation, or is participating in
interactive tutoring. Furthermore, long-term continuous monitoring and
analysis of expressions provides important information for assessing
personality but also provide cues of psychological disorders.
Session 2 "Behavior analysis for smart cars": The computational
capabilities of cars are rapidly increasing. While a lot of attention
is directed towards what goes on outside the car, and to autonomous
driving systems, the inside of the car is very interesting too. In the
transition period from human-driven cars to fully autonomous cars,
there is great interest in improved driver assistance, safety, and
comfort systems. When the fully autonomous car is realized, there will
still be a need for looking inside the car, for better car-customer
interaction.
This workshop will solicit human behavior analysis solutions that
clearly advance the field, and also to propose novel application
scenarios. The covered topics may span items from the following
topics, including the focus theme challenges:
Session 1: Face analytics
*************************
-Automatic deception detection

Submission
Submission site is open, and accessible at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hbu2018

Program Committee, in double-blind fashion. The submitted papers
should present original work, not currently under review elsewhere and
should have no substantial overlap with already published work.
Submissions should be submitted in PDF and should be no more than 8
pages in IEEE FG 2018 paper format. Accepted papers will be included
in the Proceedings of IEEE FG 2018 and Workshops and will be sent for
inclusion into the IEEE Xplore digital library.
Dates
28 January, Submission deadline
20 February, Notification of acceptance
1 March, Camera ready submission
15 May, Tentative workshop date
Special Issues
Two journal special issues are planned from the two focus tracks of
the HBU Workshop. One issue on `behavior analysis for smart cars` will
be edited as a thematic issue of Journal of Ambient Intelligence and
Smart Environments. A second issue on `face analytics` is planned.
Authors will be invited to submit suitably extended versions of their
papers to these special issues.

Call for papers
First Workshop on Large scale Emotion Recognition (LERA),
IEEE Automatic Faces & Gesture Recognition 2018, Xi’an, China.
https://sites.google.com/view/lera2018
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
With the advancement in social computing, multimedia, and sensing
technology, the amount of emotionally relevant data has grown enormously.
It becomes crucial for the affective computing community to develop new
methods for understanding emotion conveyed by the media and the emotion
felt by the user at a large scale. This workshop invites researchers to
submit their original work proposing methods to create data and new
methodologies for large-scale analysis. Much development has been observed
in the computer vision community after large-scale databases such as the
ImageNet and MS COCO have been released. The first LERA workshop at FG'18
aims to transfer current research focus on small-scale, lab based
environment to real-world, large-scale corpus.
Topics for the workshop include but are not limited to:
1. Large scale data collection and annotation
2. Large scale emotion recognition in the wild
3. Big data approaches for emotion recognition
4. Face tracking and affect analysis in videos
5. Group-level emotion recognition
6. Fusion techniques for audio-visual/physiological signals
7. Localization & identification of salient affect signals
8. Applications in education, entertainment & healthcare
