-------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: 5th Int. Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU'2014) to be held in conjunction with ECCV'14, 12 September, Zurich, Switzerland "Focus Theme: Computer Vision for Complex Social Interactions" http://www.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/hbu/2014/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Short description: The Fifth Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding, organized as a satellite to ECCV'14, will gather researchers dealing with the problem of modeling human behavior under its multiple facets (expression of emotions, display of complex social and relational behaviors, performance of individual or joint actions, etc.), with the focus topic of computer vision for complex social interactions. While different aspects of social interactions are tackled in several venues, this workshop will solicit computer vision solutions that clearly advance the field, and chart the future of computer analysis of complex interactions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Human behavior capture technology and benchmark datasets -Social activity detection, tracking, reconstruction, and recognition -Social scene representation and understanding -Social behavior modeling and prediction -Multimodal social signal integration -Causality and reciprocity of social interaction -Applications of social intelligence The HBU is organized as a full-day, single track event with invited talks, oral presentations and poster presentations. Invited Speakers: Shai Avidan, Tel-Aviv University Marco Cristani, University of Verona David Forsyth, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Daniel Gatica-Perez, Indiap Research Institute Fei-Fei Li, Stanford University James Rehg, Georgia Institute of Technology Nicu Sebe, University of Trento Alessandro Vinciarelli, University of Glascow Important Dates: 13 June: Submission of full papers (23:59pm PST) 4 July: Notification of acceptance 11 July: Camera-ready paper submissions 12 September: HBU Workshop Submissions: Submissions must represent original material.
