Connectionists: CVPR 2012 Call for Short Courses/Tutorials - Deadline December 2

[Erik Learned-Miller]

CVPR 2012 Short Courses & Tutorials: Call for Proposals
Deadline:  December 2, 2011
Short Courses Chair: Erik Learned-Miller (elm at cs.umass.edu)

The IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) will take place in Providence, Rhode Island, between June 16-21, 2012.  Short courses and tutorials will take place on June 16, 17 and/or 21, 2012, at the same venue as CVPR, the Rhode Island Convention Center.

Short courses and tutorials are usually half-day with the option of full day courses for wider scope topics. They aim to address a specific topic in computer vision and are supposed to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. The audience is mostly graduate students. The topic should be of sufficient relevance with respect to the state of the art and the course should be educational rather than just a survey of techniques.

Here are links to Short Course/Tutorial listings from past CVPRs:

7) Planned materials (if any) to be distributed to attendees.
