The Third Micro-Expression Grand Challenge (MEGC) Workshop In Conjunction with 15th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2020), May 18-22, Buenos Aires, Argentina http://megc2020.psych.ac.cn:81/ Micro-facial expressions (MEs) are involuntary movements of the face that occur spontaneously in a high-stakes environment. Computational analysis and automation of tasks on micro expressions is an emerging area in face research, with a strong interest appearing as recent as 2014. Only recently, the availability of a few spontaneously induced facial micro-expression datasets has provided the impetus to advance further from the computational aspect. CAS(ME)2 and SAMM Long Videos are two facial macro- and micro- expression databases which contain long video sequences. While much research has been done on short videos, there has been not many attempts to spot micro-expressions on long videos. This workshop is organized with the aim of promoting interactions between researchers and scholars from within this niche area of research, and also those from broader, general areas of computer vision and psychology research. AGENDAS 1. To organize the third Grand Challenge for facial micro-expression research, involving spotting macro- and micro-expression on long videos in CAS(ME)2 and SAMM. 2. To solicit original works that address a variety of challenges of ME research, but not limited to: ME spotting/detection by using self-supervised learning ME recognition by using self-supervised learning ME feature representation and computational analysis Unified ME spot-and-recognize schemes Deep learning techniques for MEs spotting and recognition MEs data analysis and synthesis New datasets for MEs Psychology of MEs SUBMISSIONS Detail of the three challenges can be found in the workshop website, Challenge submissions should be accompanied by a paper submission. Workshop paper format should adhere to the paper submission guidelines for FG2020:https://fg2020.org/instructions-of-paper-submission-for-review/ Submission website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/MEGC2020 Important Dates Submission Deadline *extended*: 6th February 2020 Notification: 14 Feb 2020 Camera-Ready: 28 Feb 2020 Organizing Chairs Su-Jing Wang Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Moi Hoon Yap Manchester Metropolitan University, UK John See Multimedia University, Malaysia Xiaopeng Hong Xi’an Jiaotong University, China Xiaobai Li University of Oulu, Finland --------------------------------------------------------------- For news of CHI books, courses & software, join CHI-RESOURCES mailto: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe from CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS send an email to mailto:[log in to unmask] For further details of CHI lists see http://listserv.acm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
