We are looking for quality papers (long and short) that spans various faces-related problems. Special attention will be given to work on kinship.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="#2A2A2A">Thus, this provides a platform for novel work, state-of-the-art methodologies, nature-based studies, innovative ideas concerning kinship. With the minds and efforts of the research communities, we to both integrate kin-related work across domains/ fields and push the frontier of automatic face recognition technologies and, ultimately, bridge the gap between research-and-reality.</font></div>

Special interests will be given to visual kin and non-kin social relations. The workshop will include up to two keynotes, along with peer-reviewed papers (oral and poster). Original high-quality contributions are solicited on the following topics:
