EE-USAD: ACM MM 2018Workshop on UnderstandingSubjective Attributes of Data focus on Evoked Emotions

The series of events devoted to the computational Understanding of Subjective Attributes (e.g. beauty, sentiment) of Data (USAD)provide a complementary perspective to the analysis of tangible properties (objects, scenes), which overwhelmingly covered the spectra of applications in multimedia. Partly fostered by the wide-spread usage of social media, the analysis of subjective attributes has attracted lots of attention in the recent years, and many research teams at the crossroads of multimedia, computer vision and social sciences, devoted time and effort to this topic. Among the subjective attributes there are those assessed by individuals (e.g. safety,interestingness, evoked emotions [2], memorability [3]) as well as aggregated emergent properties (such as popularity or virality [1]).This edition of the workshop (see below for the workshop's history)is devoted to the multimodal recognition of evoked emotions (EE).
