Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020
Strict submission deadline: July 3, 2020, 23:59:59 pm HST (no extensions)
(FedCSIS IEEE conference number: #49059)
Accepted regular papers, (video/tele)presented during the conference,
will appear as a volume of the ACSIS Series (with ISBN, ISSN and DOI
numbers) and will be submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore
Digital Library.
************************* COVI-19 Information *************************
Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to
organize the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided
that there is no other way but to organize the conference 100%
telepresence/video-based. This decision makes us very sad, but we
believe that this is the best one we can make. This decision has
consequences. First, the new conference fee has been reduced to 150 euro
(for each contributed and accepted paper). Second, since we do not have
to deal with local arrangements, we can use the extra time and we have
established the new submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the
regular papers. We are looking forward to e-meet you.

ICDL community focusses on the understanding of how biological agents
take advantage of interaction with social and physical environments to
develop their cognitive capabilities. Moreover, how this knowledge can
be used to improve future computing and robotic systems.
We invite submissions for the conference to explore, extend, and
consolidate the interdisciplinary boundaries of this exciting research
field.

CFP: Image and Vision Computing,”Deadline extension to Aug. 31, 2020″
June 4th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Image and Vision Computing
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Advances in Domain Adaptation for Computer Vision
Aim and Scope:
In daily routines, humans, not only learn and apply knowledge for visual tasks but also have intrinsic abilities to transfer knowledge between related vision tasks. For example, if a new vision task is relevant to any previous learning, it is possible to transfer the learned knowledge for handling the new vision task. In developing new computer vision algorithms, it is desired to utilize these capabilities to make the algorithms adaptable. Generally, traditional computer vision methods do not adapt to a new task and have to learn the new task from the beginning. These methods do not consider that the two visual tasks may be related and the knowledge gained in one may be applied to learn the other one efficiently in lesser time. Domain adaptation for computer vision is the area of research, which attempts to mimic this human behavior by transferring the knowledge learned in one or more source domains and use it for learning the related visual processing task in the target domain. Recent advances in domain adaptation, particularly in cotraining, transfer learning, and online learning have benefited computer vision research significantly. For example, learning from high-resolution source domain images and transferring the knowledge to learning low-resolution target domain information. This special issue will focus on the recent advances in domain adaptation for different computer vision tasks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Domain adaptation for machine learning frameworks for learning deep representations
· Domain adaptation for face detection/recognition and tracking
· Domain adaptation for object detection/ recognition and tracking
· Domain adaptation and hybrid models for real-time computer vision tasks
· Domain adaptation for human pose detection/recognition and estimation
· Domain adaptation for event/action detection and recognition
· Domain adaptation for few-shot learning
· Domain adaptation for deep neural network optimization
Important Dates:
Paper submission due: August 31, 2020
First notification: October 30, 2020
Revision submission due: December 15, 2020
Final decision: January 30, 2021
Paper evaluation and submission:
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, the significance of contribution, technical quality, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers (the papers will be reviewed following standard peer-review procedures of the Journal). Each paper will be reviewed rigorously and possibly in two rounds. Prospective authors should follow the formatting and Instructions of Image and Vision Computing at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/image-and-vision-computing/0262-8856/guide-for-authors, and invited to submit their papers directly via the online submission system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/IMAVIS/default.aspx. When submitting your manuscript please select the article type “VSI: Advances in Domain Adaptation for Computer Vision (ADACV)” Please submit your manuscript before the submission deadline. https://www.journals.elsevier.com/image-and-vision-computing/call-for-papers/advances-in-domain-adaptation-for-computer-vision

ICPR 2020 Workshop: II International Workshop on Pattern Recognition for Cultural Heritage (PatReCH 2020)

===================================================
II International Workshop on Pattern Recognition for Cultural Heritage (PatReCH 2020)
The enormous amount of artefacts and information that come from the past is increasingly and rapidly being digitized. However, the useful information contained in these data is not easy to exploit and some kind of analysis is needed. On the other hand, the digital representations of real objects require for some kind of manipulation.
Recent machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms give the opportunity to analyze and manipulate the acquired data in order to better exploit the contained information and generate the best digital representation.
The aim of this workshop is to present recent advances in Pattern Recognition (PR) techniques for data analysis and representation in the cultural heritage field. Bringing together the work of many experts in this multidisciplinary subject to highlight these advances from a wide-angle perspective, as well as to stimulate new theoretical and applied research for better characterizing the state of the art in this subject.
The workshop will be held on 11 January 2021, in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR2020), that will be held from 10 to 15 January 2021 in Milan, Italy.
Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
· Ancient document analysis
· Digital artifact capture, representation and manipulation
· Automatic annotation of tangible and intangible heritage
· Interactive software tools for cultural heritage applications
· Multimedia music classification and reconstruction
· Augmented and Virtual Reality applications
