Call for Papers: DNOW@WACV 22
Overview
Computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms are often developed inside a closed-world paradigm, for example, recognizing objects from a fixed set of categories. However, the “world” is open and constantly and dynamically changes. As a result, when the “world” changes, these algorithms are unable to detect the change and then continue to perform their tasks with incorrect and sometimes misleading predictions. In this workshop, we aim to facilitate research directions that aim to operate well in the open world while maintaining performance in the “closed” world. Many real-world applications considered at WACV must deal with changing worlds where a variety of novelty is introduced (e.g., new classes of objects)
We are calling for paper submissions to the “Dealing With Novelty in Open World''(DNOW) workshop which will happen at WACV’22. We are excited to see you participate in this workshop and hope that we, together, as a community, hold meaningful conversations and exchange ideas on this extremely relevant space in computer vision. We hope that the discussions we hold will be of interest to multiple stakeholders in this domain.
Paper Tracks
We are providing 2 tracks for paper submission. Submissions under each track will be reviewed by an expert panel.
-
Track 1: Full Paper
In this track, authors are expected to submit works that meet the criterion of submission at a Computer Vision conference, specifically at WACV.
-
Track 2: Short Unpublished Paper
In this track, authors can submit a paper where they have substantial ideas/results but the work is not up to the expectations that a full paper has.
Submission Instructions
Authors are required to use the same author kit as provided by WACV, 2022. All submissions will be handled through CMT
Important Dates:
-
Paper Submission Deadline: Oct 11, 2021
-
Acceptance Notification: Nov 5, 2021
-
Camera Ready Submission: Nov 19, 2021

Call for Participation: AIMLSystems’21
October 5th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise AIMLSystems 2021:
The 1st International Conference on AI-ML-Systems
HYBRID CONFERENCE
(An Initiative of the COMSNETS Association)
21 – 23 October 2021
Bangalore, India
https://www.aimlsystems.org/2021/
In-Cooperation With: ACM, ACM SIGKDD, ACM SIGMOD, ACM SIGAI
In-Cooperation With: MeitY
Patrons: MINRO, TCS Research, AMAZON, Prof. Ram Kumar Memorial Foundation, ZENTREE LABS
Technical Partner: TSDSI
==========================================================
AIMLSystems is a new conference targeting research at the intersection of Systems Engineering and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.
Through this conference, we plan to examine how immense strides in AI/ML techniques are made possible through advances in the computational systems and how the use of AI/ML can help in the data-driven explorations of the design space of the computational systems. We also investigate how new breeds of AI/ML systems enable new forms of socio-techno-economic systems and they, in turn generate new requirements for research in AI/ML techniques.
This conference series is an initiative of the COMSNETS Association, a not-for-profit society, which has organized the prestigious COMSNETS conference every year since 2009.
KR 2021: Call for Participation (Deadline to register: October 15)
October 5th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise 18th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2021) November 3-12, 2021 – Virtual https://kr2021.kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/
*** Registration is free but mandatory (deadline: October 15, 2021) ***
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research. In KR, a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics.
In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents.
The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.
CONFERENCE FORMAT AND REGISTRATION
KR 2021 will be organized as a virtual conference and welcomes all researchers interested in KR to participate!
We are happy to announce that participation is *free*. The deadline for registering is October 15, 2021. Information about how to register for the main conference and associated events can be found at:
