Dear all,

 

The submission deadline of the 1st International Workshop on Adaptive Shot Learning for Gesture Understanding and Production is very close (please see details below).

Please notice that the accepted papers will be part of the FG proceedings and potentially some of them be part of a special issue of TPAMI.

 

Kind regards,

Daniel Gill

SCOPE

________________

 

In the aim of natural interaction with machines, a framework must be developed to include the adaptability humans portray to understand gestures from context, from a single observation or from multiple observations. This is also referred as adaptive shot learning Ð the ability to adapt the mechanism of recognition to a barely seen gesture, well-known or entirely unknown. Of particular interest to the community are zero-shot and one-shot learning, given that most work has been done in the N-shot learning scenario. The workshop aims to encourage works that focus on the way in which humans produce gestures Ð the kinematic and biomechanical characteristics, and the cognitive process involved when perceiving, remembering and replicating them. We invite submission of papers presenting original research in the aforementioned theme.

SUBMISSIONS

________________

 

 

Submissions may be up to 8 pages, in accordance with the IEEE FG conference format. Papers longer than six pages will be subject to a page fee (100 USD per page) for the extra pages (two max). We welcome regular, position and applications papers.  Submission through:
