Many face collaborative project, on behalf of Lisa DeBruine
by Peter Hancock 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Lisa DeBruine asked me to post this. Outlook does unpleasant things to links, so if they don't work, try cut and paste on the actual link addresses. With the rise of the "Big Team Science<https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00150-2>" movement, it's time to discuss potentially developing a "ManyFaces" collaboration of face researchers. Like other initiatives, face research would benefit from a more diverse sample of subjects, especially in social perception. Face research also has a stimulus generalisability problem: we tend to reuse image sets with low diversity of age and ethnicity. An international collaboration could tackle this problem by pooling resources, but needs strong coordination to manage this reproducibly and ethically. 75 people have indicated interest<https://forms.gle/fgtG8E4KHy59iNn66> so far, and have started collecting thoughts on a collaborative document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X6b3am7zwDYXT2-TUR-a85-xG-cdrE8_vz9GICb…>. You can share the link below with any face research colleagues (and students), but please don't post the editable link to social media directly. You can post a link to the interest form (https://forms.gle/fgtG8E4KHy59iNn66) to any public site, however.

The four Challenges are: * Valence-Arousal Estimation Challenge * Expression Classification Challenge * Action Unit Detection Challenge * Multi-Task-Learning Challenge Aff-Wild2 is an audiovisual in-the-wild database of 564 videos of around 2.8M frames. Participants are invited to participate in at least one of these Challenges. There will be one winner per Challenge; the top-3 performing teams of each Challenge will have to contribute paper(s) describing their approach, methodology and results to our Workshop; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2022 proceedings; all other teams are also encouraged to submit paper(s) describing their solutions and final results; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2022 proceedings.

by Ferenc Kocsor 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

Dear All, I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity. The Institute of Psychology at the University of Pecs, Hungary, has started a PhD program for international students. During the program, among other possibilities, students can join research that aims to extend our knowledge about the cognitive and neural background of face perception. We`re particularly interested in how semantic knowledge about a person interacts with affective processes. The students will have access to the following equipment in our lab: - device for accurate reaction time measurement (cedrus) - eye-tracker (Toobi XT300) - physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, heart rate, respiration rate, EMG etc) - EEG, fMRI Please note that there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester in the first and second year, and 2500 euros per semester in the third and fourth year). However, students from selected countries (mainly from Asia, Africa, and South America) may apply for a *scholarship* by the *Stipendium Hungaricum* which covers both tuition fee and costs of living. The list of eligible countries can be found here: https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/partners/ There is still three weeks until the application deadline for the scholarship (15.01.2022.) The deadline for the program without Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship is 31.01.2022. Details about the program: https://international.pte.hu/study-programs/phd-psychology <https://international.pte.hu/study-programs/phd-psychology> PhD in Psychology <https://international.pte.hu/study-programs/phd-psychology> Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences At the University Pécs you may study psychology at doctoral level. This can help you start a career at academic institutions, private or state-own research companies, or for-profit businesses, where you can transfer your broad knowledge into an applied field. international.pte.hu <https://psychology.pte.hu/> Informal enquiries can be sent to kocsor.ferenc(a)pte.hu.

Two postdoc positions with Prof. Angela Yu
by Angela Yu 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

Two postdoctoral positions are immediately available in Dr. Yu's Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at University of California San Diego. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. One position is primarily in computational modeling of human learning and decision making. A second position is primarily at the intersection of AI/ML and natural intelligence, with the goal of extracting representational and computational principles that support intelligent behavior. Other possible topics include computational modeling of perception, face processing, active learning/sensing, economic decision making, and social cognition. Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to extract information processing principles that enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent systems perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity. Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to model cognitive functions and/or their neural underpinnings. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on Amazon M-Turk) and/or collaborating with other neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable. Dr. Yu's lab is situated within the Cognitive Science department, and also affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, the Computer Science Department, the Neurosciences Graduate Program, and the Institute of Neural Computation. There are ample opportunities for collaborations with related groups across the UCSD main campus, the medical school, and the Salk Institute. Interested candidates should send a research statement, along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>) with the subject “Postdoc Application”. The research statement should indicate which postdoc position the candidate is applying for, as well as how the candidate fits into Dr. Yu’s group. Two or more letters of references should be sent directly by the recommenders to ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>. More information about Dr. Yu’s group can be found at https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu <https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu> . -------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Dept. of Cognitive Science & Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute UC San Diego 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu ---------------------------------------------
