Schuller, Rosalind W. Picard, Elisabeth André, Jonathan Gratch, Jianhua Tao Full length manuscripts due: January 15, 2021 Final package due: August 3, 2021 This Special Issue seeks to offer broad coverage of Intelligent Signal Processing for Affective Computing with an emphasis on techniques that focus on machine learning for signal pre-processing and signal representation, their combination with modelbased and conventional approaches and related arising questions. Submissions of comprehensive overviews of methodological advances are encouraged, as well as more application-oriented contributions. Articles should provide new insights to the problem that is of interest to many areas of signal processing, explain complex concepts and subjects in a way that is easily accessible to the general, non-expert audience, and offer the value of bringing the magazine’s readers quickly to a new area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Intelligent Affective Signal Processing and combination with model-based approaches in Affective Computing - Adversarial Affective Signal Processing, Transfer, and Automatic and Reinforced Learning for Affective Signals - Intelligent Multimodal/-sensorial Affective Signal Fusion - Context-embedding in Affective Signal Processing - Explainable Affective Signal Processing, Trustability, and Human Acceptability of Affective Signal Processing - Applications (e.g., in digital health, psychology and psychiatry, education, edutainment, HCI/HRI, security) Submission Process: The Special Issue seeks to offer broad coverage of the field including most recent developments in both theory and applications. Submissions of comprehensive overviews of methodological advances are strongly encouraged, as well as papers dealing with new and emerging applications. All submissions will be peer reviewed according to the IEEE and Signal Processing Society guidelines. Submitted articles should not have been published or be under review elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted online at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sps-ieee" moz-do-not-send="true">http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sps-ieee</a> using the Manuscript Central interface, see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/publications/periodicals/spm/" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/publications/periodicals/spm/</a> for guidelines and information.
