<div class=""><b class="">## ABOUT THE WORKSHOP </b><b class="">## </b></div>
<div class="">
<div class="">The workshop on COGNITIVE VISION solicits contributions addressing computational vision and perception at the interface of language, logic, cognition, and artificial intelligence. The workshop brings together a novel & unique combination of academics
and research methodologies encompassing AI, Cognition, and Interaction. The workshop will feature invited and contributed research advancing the practice of Cognitive Vision particularly from the viewpoints of theories and methods developed within the fields
of:</div>

<div class=""><b class="">## TECHNICAL FOCUS ##</b></div>
<div class="">The principal emphasis of the workshop is on the integration of vision and artificial intelligence from the viewpoints of embodied perception, interaction, and autonomous control. In addition to basic research questions, the workshop addresses
diverse application areas where, for instance, the processing and semantic interpretation of (potentially large volumes of) highly dynamic visuo-spatial imagery is central: autonomous systems, cognitive robotics, medical & biological computing, social media,
cultural heritage & art, social media, psychology and behavioural research domains where data-centred analytical methods are gaining momentum. Particular themes of high interest solicited by the workshop include:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— methodological integrations between Vision and AI</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— declarative representation and reasoning about spatio-temporal dynamics</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— deep semantics and explainable visual computing (e.g., about space and motion)</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— vision and computational models of narrative</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— cognitive vision and multimodality (e.g., multimodal semantic interpretation)</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— visual perception (e.g., high-level event perception, eye-tracking)</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>— applications of visual sensemanking for social science, humanities, and human behaviour studies</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The workshop emphasises application areas where explainability and semantic interpretation of dynamic visuo-spatial imagery are central, e.g., for commonsense scene understanding; vision for robotics and HRI; narrative interpretation from the
viewpoints of visuo-auditory perception & digital media, sensemaking from (possibly multimodal) human-behaviour data where the principal component is visual imagery. </div>
