The 7th Audio Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC 2017) Depression and emotion recognition systems

We are calling for teams to participate in a Challenge of fully-continuous depression and emotion detection from audio, or video, or audio-visual data. As benchmarking database, the DAIC-WOZ corpus of human-agent interactions will be used for the Depression sub-challenge, and the SEWA corpus will be used for the Emotion sub-challenge. Both Depression and Emotion will have to be recognized in terms of continuous time and continuous value.
