CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Automatic Sentiment Analysis in the Wild@ ACII 2017

23 October 2017, San Antonio, Texas, USA

Paper Submission through: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ACII2017/

Important Dates:

Paper submission deadline: ~~15 June 2017~~ New deadline: 17 July 2017
Notification of acceptance: 1 August 2017
Camera ready papers due: 18 August 2017

Overview:

The WASA workshop series is the premier international forum for research on technologies for analysis of human sentiment, empathic and social behaviour observed in the wild. The program will consist of three Keynotes, an oral session, and a demonstration session. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed, and should clearly make the case for a documented improvement over the existing state of the art. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction 2017.

The general workshop topics will include, but are not limited to:

Social Intelligence and Sentiment Modeling
Sentiment, empathy & social behavior analysis from vocal, facial & bodily expressions recorded in the wild
Expressive speech analysis in social interactions observed in the wild
Human gesture and action recognition in social interactions observed in the wild
Perceptual, empathic, and socially-aware user interfaces
Empathic multimedia recommendation systems
Databases for training and testing
Empathic and socially-aware computing and applications

Paper Awards and Journal Special Issue:

WASA 2017 will include the award for the best paper. In addition, the best WASA 2017 papers will be invited for a special issue of Image and Vision Computing. Moreover, Workshop Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.
