Connectionists: 2nd CfP: CVPR 2020 - The 2nd Workshop on "Precognition: Seeing through the Future"

[Nemanja Djuric]

Call for Workshop Papers

The 2nd Workshop on "Precognition: Seeing through the Future"
in conjunction with
The 33rd IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
(CVPR 2020)
Seattle, WA, USA, June 14th-19th, 2020
https://sites.google.com/view/ieeecvf-cvpr2020-precognition

=================

Despite its potential and relevance for real-world applications, visual
forecasting or precognition has not been in the focus of new theoretical
studies and practical applications as much as detection and recognition
problems. Through the organization of this workshop we aim to facilitate
further discussion and interest within the research community regarding
this nascent topic.

The workshop will discuss recent approaches and research trends not only in
anticipating human behavior from videos, but also precognition in multiple
other visual applications, such as: medical imaging, health-care, human
face aging prediction, early event prediction, autonomous driving
forecasting, and so on. In addition, this workshop will give an opportunity
for the community in both academia and industry to meet and discuss future
work and research directions. It will bring together researchers from
different fields and viewpoints to discuss existing major research problems
and identify opportunities in further research directions in both research
topics and industrial applications.

This is the second Precognition workshop organized at CVPR. It follows a
very successful workshop organized in 2019, which featured talks from
researchers across a number of industries, insightful presentations, and
large attendance. For full programs, slides, posters, and other resources,
please visit the website of Precognition 2019 at

=================

Topics:

The workshop focuses on several important aspects of visual forecasting.
The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Early event prediction
- Activity forecasting
- Multi-agent forecasting
- Human behavior prediction
- Human face aging prediction
- Anticipation of trajectories
- Short- and long-term prediction and diagnoses in medical imaging
- Predicting frames and features in videos and other sensors in autonomous
driving
- New theories and applications in visual forecasting models
- Databases, evaluation, and benchmarking in precognition

=================

Submission Instructions:

All submitted work will be assessed based on their novelty, technical
quality, potential impact, insightfulness, depth, clarity, and
reproducibility. For each accepted submission, at least one author must
attend the workshop and present the paper. There are two ways to contribute
submissions to the workshop:

- Extended abstracts submissions are single-blind peer-reviewed, and author
names and affiliations should be listed. Extended abstract submissions are
limited to a total of four pages. Accepted abstracts will be presented at
the poster session, and will not be included in the printed proceedings of
the workshop.

- Full paper submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed. The submissions
are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the CVPR
style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed
(additional information about formatting and style files is available at
the website). Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session, with
selected papers also being presented in an oral session. All accepted
papers will be published by the CVPR in the workshop proceedings.
