SCOPE
________________

In the aim of natural interaction with machines, a framework must be
developed to include the adaptability humans portray to understand gestures
from context, from a single observation or from multiple observations. This
is also referred as adaptive shot learning Ð the ability to adapt the
mechanism of recognition to a barely seen gesture, well-known or entirely
unknown. Of particular interest to the community are zero-shot and one-shot
learning, given that most work has been done in the N-shot learning
scenario. The workshop aims to encourage works that focus on the way in
which humans produce gestures Ð the kinematic and biomechanical
characteristics, and the cognitive process involved when perceiving,
remembering and replicating them. We invite submission of papers presenting
original research in the aforementioned theme.

________________
TOPICS
________________


Topics of interest (but not limited to):
* One and zero shot recognition;
* Gesture production from context or single observation;
* EEG based gesture recognition
* Context modeling from gesture languages;
* Holistic approaches to gesture modeling and recognition;
* Human-like gesture production and recognition;
* Gesture based robotic control and interfaces

________________
SUBMISSIONS
________________


Submissions may be up to 8 pages, in accordance with the IEEE FG conference
format. Papers longer than six pages will be subject to a page fee (100 USD
per page) for the extra pages (two max). We welcome regular, position and
applications papers.  Submission through:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asl4gup2017

Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of IEEE FG 2017 &
Workshops and will be sent for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore digital
library. Selected papers will be also invited for a full submission to a
special issue in a leading journal in the field of machine learning and
cognition.
