8th Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop ? AVEC 2018
Co-located with ACM Multimedia 2018 conference, 22-26 October, Seoul, Korea
We are calling for participation in the 8th Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC 2018), an ACM MM Challenge Workshop themed around two topics: for the first time in a challenge bipolar disorder and emotion recognition. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a serious mental health disorder, with patients experiencing either manic or depressive episodes. Those with BD tend to live with this long-term. The purpose of the Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC) series is to bring together multiple communities from different disciplines, in particular the audio-visual multimedia communities and those in the psychological and social sciences who study expressive behaviour and emotion. The AVEC 2018 challenge theme is on Bipolar disorder and Cross-cultural emotion, and it is the eighth competition event aimed at comparison of multimedia processing and machine learning methods for automatic audio, visual, and audiovisual health and emotion analysis, with all participants competing under strictly the same conditions. It introduces major novelties this year with three separated sub-challenges:
