Meeting Description:

ONION: peOple in laNguage, visIOn and the miNd

Workshop to be held at the 12th Edition of the Language Resources and
Evaluation Conference, Palais du Pharo, Marseilles, France, on Saturday, May
16 2020.

The workshop will provide a forum to present and discuss current research
focusing on multimodal resources as well as computational and cognitive models
aiming to describe people in terms of their bodies and faces, including their
affective state as it is reflected physically. Such models might either
generate textual descriptions of people, generate images corresponding to
people’s descriptions, or in general exploit multimodal representations for
different purposes and applications.  Knowledge of the way human bodies and
faces are perceived, understood and described by humans is key to the creation
of such resources and models, therefore the workshop also invites
contributions where the human body and face are studied from a cognitive,
neurocognitive or multimodal communication perspective.


Third Call for Papers: 

New submission deadline: February 21, 2020 

We invite paper submissions for the the first workshop on People in Language,
Vision, and the Mind, which discuss how people, their bodies and faces as well
as mental states are described in text. We are interested in contributions
from diverse areas including language generation, language analysis, cognitive
computing, affective computing.

We invite both short and long papers, which may fall into the following
categories:
 - Papers describing original research
 - Survey and/or position papers
 - Demo papers
Authors are strongly encouraged to identify and discuss ethical issues arising
from their work, insofar as it involves the use of image data or descriptions
of people.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
 - Datasets of facial images and descriptions
 - Methods for the creation and annotation of multimodal resources dedicated
to the description of people
 - Methods for the validation of multimodal resources for descriptions of
people
 - Experimental studies of facial expression understanding by humans
 - Models or algorithms for automatic facial description generation
 - Emotion recognition by humans
 - Multimodal automatic emotion recognition from images and text
 - Subjectivity in face perception
 - Communicative, relational and intentional aspects of head pose and eye-gaze
 - Collection and annotation methods for facial descriptions
 - Coding schemes for the annotation of body posture and facial expression
 - Understanding and description of the human face and body in different
contexts, including commercial applications, art, forensics, etc.
 - Modelling of the human body, face and facial expressions for embodied
conversational agents
 - Generation of full-body images and/or facial images from textual
descriptions
 - Ethical and data protection issues related to the collection and/or
automatic description of images of real people
 - Any form of bias in models which seek to make sense of human physical
attributes in language and vision.

Submission guidelines: 
Short paper submissions may consist of up to 4 pages of content, while long
papers may have up to 8 pages of content. References do not count towards
these page limits. All submissions must follow the LREC 2020 style files,
which are available for LaTeX (preferred) and MS Word and can be retrieved
from here.

Papers must be submitted digitally, in PDF, and uploaded through the START
submission system (https://www.softconf.com/lrec2020/ONION2020/) The authors
of accepted papers will be required to submit a camera-ready version to be
included in the final proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be notified
after the notification of acceptance with further details.
