CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

REACT 2024 Challenge: Multiple Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation in Dyadic Interactions (REACT2024 at FG'24)

The second "Multiple Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation in Dyadic Interactions" challenge (REACT2024) to be held in conjunction with the Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey, is calling for contributions in the form of papers and competition in the challenge. The competition will be using the NoXI, and RECOLA datasets which contain audio-video clip data of participants engaged in dyadic video-conference settings. The challenge consists of two main tasks:

  *   Task 1 - Offline Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation
  *   Task 2 - Online Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation

Participants are invited to participate in one or both sub-challenges. For more information about the challenge, check our website https://sites.google.com/cam.ac.uk/react2024/home.
