his is an official workshop of the LatinX in AI (LXAI) organization, known as LatinX in Computer Vision (LXCV) at CVPR, which will be hosted virtually on Saturday, June 19th, 2021.

Overview

The workshop is a one-day event with invited speakers, oral presentations, and posters. The event brings together faculty, graduate students, research scientists, and engineers for an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas. There will be a panel discussion and a mentoring session to discuss current research trends and career choices in computer vision. While all presenters will identify primarily as LatinX, all are invited to attend.

Call for Papers

We strongly encourage students, post-docs and researchers who primarily identify as LatinX in all areas of Computer Vision to submit work describing new ideas, work-in-progress as well as previously or concurrently published research. We welcome abstract submissions in theory, methodology, and applications. While the presenting author needs not be the first author of the work, we encourage authors to highlight the contribution of latinx individuals —particularly the presenting author —in the abstract. While the event focuses primarily on researchers who identify as latinx, everyone is invited to attend. Authors are also encouraged to sign up to review for LXAI, with a sign-up option available upon submission.

Topics of interest include all aspects of computer vision and pattern recognition including, but notlimited to:

●2D object recognition
●3D computer vision
●3D object recognition
●Action and behavior recognition
●Adversarial learning, adversarial attack and defense methods
●Biometrics, face, gesture, body pose
●Computational photography
●Datasets and evaluation
●Efficient training and inference methods for networks
●Explainable AI, fairness, accountability, privacy, transparency and ethics in vision ●Image and video retrieval
●Image and video synthesis
●Image classification
●Low-level and physics-based vision
●Machine learning architectures and formulations
●Medical, biological and cell microscopy
●Motion and tracking
●Optimization and learning methods
●Pose estimation
●Representation learning, deep learning
●Scene analysisand understanding
●Transfer, low-shot, semi-and un-supervised learning
●Video analysis and understanding
●Vision + language, vision + other modalities
●Vision applications and systems, vision for robotics and autonomous vehicles

Submission Instructions

We strongly encourage students, post-docs, and researchers who primarily identify as LatinX in all areas of Computer Vision to submit work describing new, work-in-progress, previously published, or concurrently published research. We welcome abstract submissions in theory, methodology, and applications. While the presenting author needs not to be the first author of the work, we encourage authors to highlight the contribution of latinx individuals — particularly the presenting author — in the abstract. While the event focuses primarily on researchers who identify as latinx, everyone is invited to attend. Authors are also encouraged to sign up to review for LXAI, with a sign-up option available upon submission.

We accept two kinds of submissions:

Full-papers: 4 to 8 pages excluding references. We allow supplementary material in another file. Accepted papers of this kind will be part of the official CVPR workshop proceedings. Note that these papers should present novel research.

Extended abstracts: Up to 3 pages excluding references. It can be already published research or relevant computer vision applications for Latinamerica. Accepted papers in this track will not be archived in the proceedings and can be published in another venue in the future.
