5. Is the use of a commercial face detector such as Google Picasa OK?
5. Is the use of a commercial face detector such as Google Picasa OK?
Ans: Any face detector whether commercial or academic can be used to participate in the challenge. The paper accompanying the challenge result submission should contain clear details of the detectors/libraries used.

10. Is there any sanity check on the Test results?
10. Is there any sanity check on the Test results?
Ans: Similar to earlier EmotiW challenges, the top three performing teams will be asked to share their code/executable/library for checking at our end.

11. Are the papers published in EmotiW part of the workshop proceedings?
11. Are the papers published in EmotiW part of the workshop proceedings?
Ans: No, EmotiW is a grand challenge in ICMI and hence, EmotiW papers are part of the ICMI main conference proceedings.

12. What are the criteria for paper acceptance?
12. What are the criteria for paper acceptance?
Ans: A team may choose to submit a paper describing the paper. Acceptance is a factor of relative performance in the challenge and anonymous reviews (and novelty) of the submitted paper describing the method. However, note that for the top-performing three teams, it is mandatory to submit papers for the ranked. Right after the Test phase, the leaderboard will be posted. As with earlier EmotiWs, the code run will also be there for the top three teams.
