Challenges of Human Behavior Understanding

Recent advances in pattern recognition has allowed computer scientists and psychologists to jointly address automatic analysis of human behavior via computers. The Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding at the International Conference on Pattern Recognition explores a number of different aspects and open questions in this field, and demonstrates the multi-disciplinary nature of this research area. In this brief summary, we give an overview of the Workshop and discuss the main research challenges.
