Physiology, Psychoacoustics and Cognition in Normal and Impaired Hearing
​The International Symposium on Hearing is a prestigious, triennial gathering where world-class scientists present and discuss the most recent advances in the field of human and animal hearing research. The 2015 edition will particularly focus on integrative approaches linking physiological, psychophysical and cognitive aspects of normal and impaired hearing. Like previous editions, the proceedings will contain about 50 chapters ranging from basic to applied research, and of interest to neuroscientists, psychologists, audiologists, engineers, otolaryngologists, and artificial intelligence researchers.

Non-Verbal Communication Analysis in Victim-Offender Mediations
In this paper we present a non-invasive ambient intelligence framework for
the semi-automatic analysis of non-verbal communication applied to the
restorative justice field. In particular, we propose the use of computer vision
and social signal processing technologies in real scenarios of Victim-Offender
Mediations, applying feature extraction techniques to multi-modal
audio-RGB-depth data. We compute a set of behavioral indicators that define
communicative cues from the fields of psychology and observational methodology.
We test our methodology on data captured in real world Victim-Offender
Mediation sessions in Catalonia in collaboration with the regional government.
We define the ground truth based on expert opinions when annotating the
observed social responses. Using different state-of-the-art binary
classification approaches, our system achieves recognition accuracies of 86%
when predicting satisfaction, and 79% when predicting both agreement and
receptivity. Applying a regression strategy, we obtain a mean deviation for the
predictions between 0.5 and 0.7 in the range [1-5] for the computed social
signals.Comment: Please, find the supplementary video material at:
