MAPTRAITS 2014: The First Audio/Visual Mapping Personality Traits Challenge.

The Audio/Visual Mapping Personality Challenge and Workshop (MAPTRAITS) is a competition event aimed at the comparison of signal processing and machine learning methods for automatic visual, vocal and/or audio-visual analysis of personality traits and social dimensions, namely, extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness, engagement, facial attractiveness, vocal attractiveness, and likability. The MAPTRAITS Challenge aims to bring forth existing efforts and major accomplishments in modelling and analysis of personality and social dimensions in both quantised and continuous time and space. This paper provides the details of the two Sub-Challenges, their conditions, datasets, labels and baseline features that made available to the researchers who are interested in taking part in this challenge and workshop.
