1ø PLUS-VIPS School
After the
PrintArt workshop, now is the time for the first
PLUS-VIPS school on Social Signal Processing (July 18-22). The themes treated by the school are aimed to give an introduction to Social Signal Processing. This new research field tries to bridge the social intelligence gap between people and machines. At its core, social intelligence consists of sensing nonverbal behavioral cues displayed by people around us (facial expressions, gestures, vocalizations, postures), interpreting these cues in terms of social signals (relational attitudes like interest, hostility, empathy, agreement and disagreement, or dominance), and displaying as a response natural, consistent behaviors (interest for those we are interested in, or hostility for those we are hostile to).
The school is organized and sponsored by our PLUS (Pattern analysis, Learning, and image Understanding Systems) laboratory of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova (Italy) jointly with the VIPS (Vision, Image Processing, and Sound) lab of the University of Verona.
The location of the school is in the wonderful Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante:

Certainly a perfect match for the warm Ligurian weather!
