*** Call for Papers ***
Recent advancements in generative models within the realms of computer vision and artificial intelligence have revolutionized the way researchers approach data-driven tasks. The advent of sophisticated generative models, such as GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), VAEs (Variational Autoencoders), or more recently diffusion models, has empowered practitioners to create synthetic data that closely mirrors real-world scenarios. These models enable the generation of high-fidelity images and sequences, laying the foundation for groundbreaking applications in face and gesture analysis. The significance of these generative models lies in their ability to produce synthetic data that is remarkably realistic, thereby mitigating challenges associated with data scarcity and privacy concerns. As a result, the utilization of synthetic data has become increasingly prevalent in various research domains, offering a versatile and ethical alternative for training and testing machine learning algorithms.

This workshop aims to delve into the diverse applications of synthetic data in the realm of face and gesture analysis. Participants will explore how synthetic datasets have been instrumental in training facial recognition systems, enhancing emotion detection models, and refining gesture recognition algorithms. The workshop will showcase exemplary use cases where the integration of synthetic data has not only overcome data limitations but has also fostered the development of more robust and accurate models. As researchers increasingly recognize the potential of synthetic datasets in shaping the future of computer vision and machine learning, there arises a demand for a collaborative platform where ideas can be exchanged, methodologies shared, and challenges addressed. This workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, fostering a community of experts and enthusiasts dedicated to advancing the frontiers of synthetic data in face and gesture analysis.
 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
+ Novel generative models for face and gesture synthesis
+ Label generation for synthetic data
+ Information leakage in synthetics data
+ Data factories for training biometric (detection, landmarking, recognition) models
+ Synthetic data for data augmentation
