SMART HUMAN/MACHINE/HUMAN INTERACTIONS IN THE DIGITAL SOCIETY

SMART School on

Computational Social and Behavioral Sciences

Paris, August 31 - September 4, 2015

 

Context:

Understanding human behavior by using both computer vision and signal processing has become of major interest since the emergence of numerous applications in various domains, such as social signal processing, affective computing or human-computer interaction. 

The key idea of a quantitative modeling and understanding of human behaviors through computational models is a long-term goal. Recent advances in mathematics, computer science, signal processing, machine learning (including Big Data) and robotics now make it possible to consider the development of tools or systems for human-human interaction or human-computer interaction analysis. This will break a new ground for future studies of human behaviors through the lens of complementary domains such as social neuroscience, psychology, sociology as well as psychiatry.

 

Objectives:

The SMART School on Computational Social and Behavioral Sciences will contribute to bridge the gap between the areas of social neuroscience, linguistics, psychology and sociology on the one hand, and mathematics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, social networks, autonomous agents and social signal processing on the other hand. This interdisciplinary framework will be efficient only if regulatory and ethical issues are taken into account at the early steps of the research.

This school allows completing the training of PhD students in computational sciences whom research require a background in human behavior analysis, modeling and/or synthesis. 

Tracks:

- Sensing Human Behaviors
- Computational models for social interactions
- Evaluation of social interactions (challenges, metrics)
- Social interaction patterns at group level
- Big data and social networks
- Computer science and sociology
- Ethics, protocols and case studies.
- Industry

Thanks to fundings from Sorbonne Universités and CNRS, the SMART School is free for already pre-registered participants.

The registration fees include lunches, coffee breaks, attendance to the school (lectures, practicals and social events). 

Local information: 

The school will be hosted by the Cordeliers Campus of Sorbonne Universités from August 31th to September 4, 2015.

The school is also a satelitte event of The 2015 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and MiningParis, France, August 25-28, 2015.

The school will be also an event of the euRobotics Topic Group on Natural Interaction with Social Robots(NISR-TG): A special session will focus on current challenges in Social Robotics.
