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 ___________________________________ Dr. Daniel Gill Department of Psychology The University of Winchester Winchester SO22 4NR Phone (office): +44 (0) 1962 675144 e-mail Daniel.Gill@winchester.ac.uk<mailto:Daniel.Gill@winchester.ac.uk> CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Adaptive Shot Learning for Gesture Understanding and Production ASL4GUP 2017 In conjunction with IEEE FG 2017 May 30, 2017, Washington DC, USA https://engineering.purdue.edu/ASL4GUP Contact: jpwachs(a)purdue.edu ________________ IMPORTANT DATES ________________ Submission Deadline: Feb 1, 2017 Notification of Acceptance: March 1, 2017 Camera Ready: March 8, 2017 Workshop: May 30, 2017 ________________ 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. ________________ TOPICS ________________ Topics of interest (but not limited to): * One and zero shot recognition; * Gesture production from context or single observation; * EEG based gesture recognition * Context modeling from gesture languages; * Holistic approaches to gesture modeling and recognition; * Human-like gesture production and recognition; * Gesture based robotic control and interfaces ________________ 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: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asl4gup2017 Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of IEEE FG 2017 & Workshops and will be sent for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore digital library. Selected papers will be also invited for a full submission to a special issue in a leading journal in the field of machine learning and cognition. ________________ ORGANIZERS ________________ Juan P Wachs (Purdue University, USA); jpwachs(a)purdue.edu Richard Voyles (Purdue University, USA); rvoyles(a)purdue.edu Susan Fussell (Cornell University, USA); sfussell(a)cornell.edu Isabelle Guyon (UniversitŽ Paris-Saclay, France); guyon(a)clopinet.com Sergio Escalera (Computer Vision Center and University of Barcelona, Spain); sergio.escalera.guerrero(a)gmail.com ________________ Program Committee ________________ 1.
