*Call for Papers*

Special Issue on

*/Pattern Recognition in Human-Computer-Interaction/*

to be published in the /*Pattern Recognition Letters Journal*/

****New Submission deadline: February 20, 2014 ****

Building intelligent artificial companions capable to interact with 
humans in the same way humans interact with each other is a major 
challenge in affective computing. Such a type of interactive companion 
must be able to perceiveand interprete multimodal information about the 
user in order to be able to produce an appropriate response. The 
proposed special issue mainly focuses on pattern recognition and machine 
learning methods for the perception of the user's affective states, 
activities and intentions.

Topics of interest include (yet, they are not limited to) the following 
issues.

A. Algorithms to recognize emotions, behaviors, activities and intentions

·Facial expression recognition

·Recognition of gestures, head/body poses

·Audiovisual emotion recognition

·Analysis of bio-physiological data for emotion recognition

·Multimodal information fusion architectures

·Multi Classifier Systems and Multi View Classifiers

·Temporal fusion

B. Learning algorithms for social signal processing

·Learning from unlabeled and partially labeled data

·Learning with noisy/uncertain labels

·Deep learning architectures

·Learning of time series

C. Applications

·Companion Technologies

·Robotics

·Assistive systems

D. Benchmark data bases

This special issue invites paper submissions on the most recent 
developments in human computer interaction research rooted in pattern 
recognition. The special issue will comprise (1) papers submitted in 
response to this call, and (2) extended versions of selected papers from 
the recent, successful MPRSS 2012 and MPRSS 2013 workshops sponsored by 
the International Association for Pattern Recognition.

MPRSS 2012: November 11, 2012 Tsukuba, Japan 
http://neuro.informatik.uni-ulm.de/MPRSS2012/

MPRSS 2013: June 15, 2013, Lausanne, Switzerland, 
http://neuro.informatik.uni-ulm.de/MPRSS2013/ 
<http://neuro.informatik.uni-ulm.de/MPRSS2012/>**

*Paper submission*

The papers must be submitted online via the Pattern Recognition Letters 
Journal website (http://ees.elsevier.com/patrec/), selecting the choice 
that indicates this special issue (identifier: PR-HCI). Please, prepare 
your paper following the Journal guidelines for Authors 
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505619/authorinstructions), 
which include specifications for submissions aimed at Special Issues. 
Priority will be given to the papers with high novelty and originality.

*Submission templates*(for both LaTex and MW Word users) are available 
and it is mandatory that  submissions are prepared  by using these 
templates. Potential contributors will find the templates in the 
guidelines for Authors  in the PRLetters webpage.

Submissions to the SI can be*at most 10 pages long* (in the PRLetters 
layout). This is different from what has been done until a few weeks 
ago, where Word/Figure-/Table counting was done at EES to check whether 
a paper had been prepared according to the rules or had to be sent back 
to Authors for editing. Now only page counting is done at the EES ASA 
department and papers longer than 10 pages will be sent back to Authors 
to shorten them.

If you are not sure on whether your manuscripts matches the aims and 
scope of this special issue or not, do not hesitate to get in touch with 
the guest editors at any time.
