Hi everyone, Some of you may not know that a few months ago Google Scholar introduced a facility that lets you create a personal page where you can list your publications and track citations. Like ResearcherID.com, but it covers a wider range of sources (e.g. books and chapters as well as journals) and offers citation alerts and so on. See the explanatory URL: http://scholar.google.co.uk/intl/en/scholar/citations.html I've already found this useful for a range of reasons. For example, it's a simpler way of finding out what someone has done than a literature search, it allows you to follow what former students and colleagues are up to, you can create alerts for when someone whose work interests you publishes a paper, or for when a key paper you're interested in gets cited. I also used it to create pages for Hadyn Ellis and Freda Newcombe, which may be helpful to anyone who is interested in where current cognitive and neuropsychological approaches came from. The downside seems to be that searching the content isn't very effective at the moment. For example, the keywords 'face perception', 'face recognition' and 'face processing' will find different sets of people. But since Google is behind this, I'm guessing this will be improved. Cheers, Andy Young.

FW: Hands

by Charlie Frowd

Dear All. I have had an email (below) from a senior police officer from Cumbria who is interested in 3D modelling of hands. Does anyone have any experience of this, or know of anyone who has? Feel free to contact Richard directly. I think this application is for a court case. Regards, Charlie. ________________________________ From: San Jose, Richard [Richard.SanJose(a)cumbria.police.uk] Sent: 27 March 2012 13:50 To: Charlie Frowd Subject: Hands Charlie Are you aware or do any of your colleagues have knowledge of any research and or applications that we can use within policing to demonstrate position of a persons ‘hands’ on say a persons neck or bottle etc and also the ability to manipulate the fingers to show different positions etc?

Call For Papers: Workshop on Context Based Affect Recognition CBAR12

by zakia hammal

***************************************************************************** CBAR 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS SocialCom12 1st International Workshop on CONTEXT BASED AFFECT RECOGNITION http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/ Submission Deadline: May 11th, 2012 ***************************************************************************** The first workshop on "Context Based Affect Recognition" CBAR12 (http://contextbasedaffectrecog.blogspot.com/) wil be held in conjunction with the 2012 ASE/IEEE International Conference on Social Computing SocialCom2012 (http://www.asesite.org/conferences/socialcom/2012/). ----------------------------- Workshop Description ----------------------------- The past 20 years has witnessed an increasing number of efforts for automatic recognition of human affect using facial, vocal, body as well as physiological signals. Several research areas could benefit from such systems: interactive teaching systems, which allow teachers to be aware of student stress and inattention; accident prevention, such as driver fatigue detection; medical tools for automatic diagnosis and monitoring such as the diagnosis of cognitive disorder (e.g. depression, anxiety and autism) and pain assessment. However, despite the significant amount of research on automatic affect recognition, the current state of the art has not yet achieved the long-term objective of robust affect recognition, particularly context based affect analysis and interpretation. Indeed, it is well known that affect production is accordingly displayed in a particular context, such as the undergoing task, the other people involved, the identity and natural expressiveness of the individual. The context tells us which expressions are more likely to occur and thus can bias the classifier toward the most likely/relevant classes. Without context, even humans may misunderstand the observed facial expression. By tackling the issues of context based affect recognition, i.e. careful study of contextual information and its relevance in domain-specific applications, its representation, and its effect on the performance of existing affect recognition methods, we make a step towards real-world, real-time affect recognition. ----------------------------- Workshop Objectives ----------------------------- Context related affect analysis is still an unexplored area for automatic affect recognition given the difficulty of modeling this variable and of its introduction in the classification process. Unconsciously, humans evaluate situations based on environment and social parameters when recognizing emotions in social interactions. Contextual information helps us interpret and respond to social interactions. The purpose of the workshop is to explore the benefits and drawbacks of integrating context on affect production, interpretation and recognition. We wish to investigate what methodologies can be applied to include contextual information in emotion corpora, how it ought to be represented, what contextual information are relevant (i.e. is it domain specific or not?), and how it will improve the performance of existing frameworks for affect recognition. The workshop is relevant in the study of naturalistic social interactions since contextual information cannot be discounted in doing automatic analysis of human behavior. Embedding contextual information, such as culture, provides a different flavor to each interaction, and makes for an interesting scientific study. Such kinds of analysis lead us to consider real-world parameters and complexities in affect recognition, especially in developing human-centric systems. For the workshop weinvite scientists working in related areas of affective computing, ambient computing, machine learning, psychology and cognitive behavior to share their expertise and achievements in the emerging field of automatic and context based affect analysis and recognition. ----------------------------- Workshop Topics ----------------------------- New and unpublished papers on, but not limited to, the following topics: · Context source detection. · Context interpretation and analysis. · Context based affect production · Context based facial affect recognition · Context based vocal affect recognition · Context based gesture affect recognition · Context based multimodal fusion. · Applications (Context related affect applications).

time course of adaptation

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, over the years I have tried various face adaptation experiments, with mostly incoherent results, and watched puzzled as everyone else publishes neat little findings. I began to suspect strong temporal effects and we have finally managed to publish some results demonstrating this with adaptation to antifaces: almost all the effect derives from the first few trials; it is as if whatever is adapting gets 'tired' after that. It may be that others have picked up on this already but I figured it might be useful to draw attention to the finding in case there are those who, like me, are baffled by otherwise strange results. http://www.frontiersin.org/perception_science/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00019/abst… Peter Peter Hancock Professor, Deputy Head of Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
