IEEE international workshop on in conjunction with 2020 FG4th Data Challenge Workshop on Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW)-- Automatic Modeling and Analysis of Kinship
Overview
We are pleased to announce the fourth large-scale kinship recognition data competition, Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW), in conjunction with the 2020 FG. RFIW has been made possible with the release of the largest and most comprehensive image database for automatic kinship recognition, Families in the Wild (FIW) dataset.

All submissions (i.e., challenge papers, general paper submissions, and Brave New Ideas) will be peer-reviewed for publication as part of RFIW2020 in the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (2020 AMFG) proceedings. Also, authors will be expected to join workshop during 2020 AMFG conference on 18-22 May in Buenos Aire, Argentina.

Call For Papers
In addition to the three organized task evaluations, we will also add this piece to RFIW2020 (i.e., papers that use FIW in novel ways). The main reason we added this is to ignite the creativity of the community outside the controlled experiments of the task evaluations– we found the assessments to be great for structuring existing problems such that us researchers and practitioners can make fair comparisons of algorithms; however, this limits the scope of the problems of automatic kinship recognition. From this, we expect the light to shed on one or more of the following ways:

·  To advance the state-of-the-art for kinship verification and family classification.

·  To benchmark new tasks for FIW, like fine-grain classification, large-scale search, and retrieval, tri-subject verification.

·  To propose generative models for family photos, relative faces, photo albums, such.

·  To explore and understand multimodal uses of text captions accompanying the family photos of FIW.

·  To pitch cluster, multi-view, and various types of problems.

·  To kinship as a soft attribute for higher-level tasks (e.g., facial recognition, group understanding, social media analysis).

·  Much more.
Previous RFIW Workshops
The first workshop with this name was held in 2017, in conjunction with ACM MM in Mountain View, CA, USA. So far, it has been successfully held 3 times. The homepages of previous RFIW are listed as follows: 
RFIW2017: https://web.northeastern.edu/smilelab/RFIW2017/ 
RFIW2018: https://web.northeastern.edu/smilelab/RFIW2018/ 
RFIW2019: https://web.northeastern.edu/smilelab/RFIW2019/

FIW data was also used to organize Kaggle Competition, https://www.kaggle.com/c/Recognizing-Faces-in-the-Wild
