LREC 2010 Workshop on Multimodal Corpora: Advances in Capturing, Coding and Analyzing Multimodality
A "Multimodal Corpus" involves the recording, annotation and analysis of several communication modalities such as speech, hand gesture, facial expression, body posture, etc. As many research areas are moving from focused but single modality research to fully-fledged multimodality research, multimodal corpora are becoming a core research asset and an opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, concepts and data.

Special Issue on Emotion and Mental State Recognition from Speech
As research in speech processing has matured, attention has shifted from linguistic-related applications such as speech recognition towards paralinguistic speech processing problems, in particular the recognition of speaker identity, language, emotion, gender, and age. Determination of emotion or mental state is a particularly challenging problem, in view of the significant variability in its expression posed by linguistic, contextual, and speaker-specific characteristics within speech. In this context this EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing Special Issue on Emotion and Mental State Recognition from Speech aims to gather recent insights on progress in the field.

Tool of the day

Head Pose and Eye Gaze (HPEG) Dataset

http://emotion-research.net/toolbox/hpeg.jpg/
Webcam videos of users displaying ranges of eye gaze and head pose. Ground truth for head pose is provided via a set of LEDs mounted on the user's head. Eye gaze and head pose can be related with the user's attention towards the screen, an object or another user. This dataset has been used to train an eye gaze/head pose estimation tool in the context of students reading off screen.
