PINK COST 2102 International Conference on Analysis of Verbal and Non Verbal Communication and Enactment: The Processing Issue
The PINK COST 2102 INTERNATIONAL Conference on "Analysis of Verbal and Non Verbal Communication and Enactment: The Processing Issues", jointly organized with the Social Signal Processing Network (NoE) (SSPNET.EU), will be held in Budapest, Hungary, from the 7th to the 10th of September 2010. The conference website is open at: http://berber.tmit.bme.hu/cost2102/.
The conference has no registration fee and the conference website contains an application/registration form in order to register and/or apply for support. There are also some fellowships for students and I will expect application from COST 2102 labs.
Cognitive Computation - Call for Papers Friday, 24 April 2009 21:57 | Author: Administrator |
Cognitive Computation - Special Issue on Cognitive Behavioural SystemsCognitive processes, such as inference, categorization, and memory, are not independent from their physical instantiations. Individuals’ choices, perception, and actions emerge and are dynamically affected /enhanced by the interaction between sensory-motor systems and the inhabited environment (that includes the organizational, cultural, and physical context). This interplay brings up instantiations of cognitive behavioural systems. In this context, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of the Cognitive Computation journal on “Cognitive Behavioural Systems”. This call is open to all researchers involved in the field. Please note, due to numerous requests, the deadline for the COGNITIVE COMPUTATION special issues on Cognitive Behavioural Systems has been extended to 15 April 2010. Springer’s on-line system is accepting submissions for the special issue right now at http://www.springer.com/biomed/neuroscience/journal/12559. Please submit your manuscripts via the online submission site, available at the above link, to the attention of Professor Anna Esposito explicitly mentioning “Submission to the Cognitive Behavioural Systems: Special Issue” in the subject line.

Action 2102: Cross-Modal Analysis of Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication The main objective of the Action is to develop an advanced acoustical, perceptual and psychological analysis of verbal and non-verbal communication signals originating in spontaneous face-to-face interaction, in order to identify algorithms and automatic procedures capable of identifying human emotional states. Several key aspects will be considered, such as the integration of the developed algorithms and procedures for application in telecommunication, and for the recognition of emotional states, gestures, speech and facial expressions, in anticipation of the implementation of intelligent avatars and interactive dialogue systems that could be exploited to improve user access to future telecommunication services. This Action profits from two former COST Actions (COST 277 and COST 278) that identified new appropriate mathematical models and algorithms to drive the implementation of the next generation of telecommunication services such as remote health monitoring systems, interactive dialogue systems, and intelligent avatars.
