Dear all,
We are calling for participation in AVEC 2017, the 7th Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop, held as a workshop of ACM Multimedia 2017 in Mountain View (date T.B.C). The challenge will focus on emotion and depression detection from real-life audiovisual data. For more information, see http://sspnet.eu/avec2017/.
The Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC 2017) will be the seventh competition event aimed at comparison of multimedia processing and machine learning methods for automatic audio, visual, and audiovisual depression and emotion analysis, with all participants competing under strictly the same conditions.
AVEC 2017 shall help raise the bar for emotion/depression detection by challenging participants to estimate the level of depression and affect (arousal, valence, and liking) from audiovisual data captured in real-life conditions, and it will continue to bridge the gap between excellent research on emotion/depression recognition and low comparability of results.
We achieve this by means of two independent tasks: the prediction of the level of depression from audiovisual data - DAIC-WOZ database -, and the (time-continuous) prediction of the level of arousal, valence, and liking from audiovisual data - SEWA database. The data sets are provided by the organisers as three strictly divided partitions: one training, one development, and one test partition for which labels are not provided, as they will be used to rank the predictions submitted by the participants.
In order to participate, please visit the challenge guidelines webpage: http://sspnet.eu/avec2017/challenge-guidelines/.
Besides participation in the Challenge we are calling for papers addressing the overall topics of this workshop, in particular works that address the differences between audio, video, and physiological processing of emotive data, and the issues concerning combined audio-visual-physiological emotion recognition.
*Important Dates*
Paper submission:
July 9, 2017
Notification of acceptance:
August 1, 2017
Camera ready paper:
August 14, 2017
Workshop:
T.B.C.
Kind regards,
