STHENOS 2015 - International Workshop on Affective Computing for Biological Activity Recognition in Assistive Environments

The goal of the STHENOS Workshop on Affective Computing for Biological
Activity Recognition in Assistive Environments is to present the research within
the framework of the STHENOS project (www.sthenos.gr), which aims at the
development of methodologies and systems for assistive environments. The
research within the project aims at the development of methodologies and tools
to compose pervasive human-centered systems, which will be able to
understand the human state (identity, emotions and behavior) in assistive
environments using audiovisual and biological signals.
For this workshop on Affective Computing for Biological Activity Recognition in
Assistive Environments, we seek contributions about the following topics:
Tools to recognize human behaviors from audio-visual content using fusion of non-invasive sensors such as visual or audio.
Tools to identify affect and emotion from audio-visual data in a non-invasive way.
Tools to analyze neurophysiological data (EEG, ECG, SCR) in order to recognize emotional states and to perform follow-up studies.
Tools for dynamic multimodal human-machine interaction. Further to that visual attention mechanisms will be investigated and correlated to social
behavior.
