MPRSS 2016 - Workshop Multimodal pattern recognition for social signal processing in human computer interaction

ICPR 2016 Satellite Workshop
Multimodal pattern recognition for social signal processing in human computer interaction
MPRSS 2016, Cancun, Mexico, December 4, 2016
http://neuro.informatik.uni-ulm.de/MPRSS2016/
MPRSS 2016 mainly focuses on pattern recognition, machine learning and information fusion methods
for the perception of the user’s affective state, activities and intentions. Building intelligent artificial
companions capable to interact with humans in the same way humans interact with each other is a
major challenge in affective computing research. Such a type of interactive companion must be capable
of perceiving and interpreting information about the user in order to be able to produce an appropriate response.
The workshop topics include but are not limited to:
A. Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning Algorithms to recognize emotions, activities and intentions
? Learning from unlabeled and partially labeled data
? Learning with noisy labels
? Deep learning architectures
? Learning of time series
B. Algorithms to combine information from multiple modalities
? Information fusion (early, late, intermediate fusion)
? Multi Classifier Systems and Multi View Classifiers
? Temporal information fusion
? Dealing with Uncertainty
C. Applications relevant to the workshop
? Intelligent interaction
? Assistive systems and companion systems
? Applications, e.g. in healthcare or elderly care
D. Datasets and benchmarks relevant to the workshop topics
Workshop proceedings will be published as postconference procedeedings as Springer LNAI volume.
