Iternational Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020) – Deadline extension

April 2nd, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Dear Colleagues,

The IJCB 2020 organizing committee is continuously monitoring the
COVID-19 situation and is aware that the pandemic affects everyone's
research activities. To give researchers enough time to prepare
high-quality submissions for IJCB 2020, we have decided to extend the
second submission deadline to June 8th, 2020. The updated deadline
applies to new submissions as well as papers that received a revision
decision in the first round.

Detailed information on the deadline extension is available from the
IJCB website: https://ieee-biometrics.org/ijcb2020/

We are aware that receiving timely feedback on submissions is paramount
for authors and that many have already submitted their work in the
second IJCB submission round. We will, therefore, make sure that any
papers submitted to CMT by the initial April 6th deadline will be
reviewed in time for announcing the decision on June 9, 2020 (or earlier).

Please note that the IJCB 2020 organizing committee will ensure that the
authors of accepted papers will be able to present their work and that
the proceedings will be published as planned.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions.

With kind regards,

IJCB 2020 General and Program Chairs

CFP in DVU 2020 : International Workshop on Deep Video Understanding

April 2nd, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

2nd Call for Participation :  International Workshop on Deep Video Understanding
In conjunction with ICMI 2020 , October 25-29, 2020

Deep video understanding is a difficult task which requires systems to develop a deep analysis and understanding of the relationships between different entities in video, to use known information to reason about other, more hidden information, and to populate a knowledge graph (KG) with all acquired information. To work on this task, a system should take into consideration all available modalities (speech, image/video, and in some cases text). The aim of this workshop is to push the limits of multi-modal extraction, fusion, and analysis techniques to address the problem of analyzing long duration videos holistically and extracting useful knowledge to utilize it in solving different types of queries. The target knowledge includes both visual and non-visual elements. As videos and multimedia data are getting more and more popular and usable by users in different domains, the research, approaches and techniques we aim to be applied in this workshop will be very relevant in the coming years and near future.

This workshop will support two tracks of research contributions:

1. Track 1: Interested authors are invited to apply their approaches and methods on a novel High-Level Video Understanding (HLVU) dataset being made available by the workshop organizers. These include 10 movies with a Creative Commons license. This dataset will be annotated by human assessors and ground truth (Ontology of relations, entities, actions & events, names and images of all main characters, Knowledge Graph for 50% of the movies) provided to participating researchers. The organizers will also support evaluation and scoring of two main query types distributed with the dataset:

-Multiple choice question answering on part of Knowledge Graph for selected movies.
-Possible path analysis between persons / entities of interest in a Knowledge Graph extracted from selected movies.

2. Track 2: Contributions related (but not limited) to the following topics applied on the provided HLVU dataset or any external datasets are invited:

Multimodal feature extraction for movies and extended video
Multimodal fusion of computer vision, text/language processing and audio for extended video / movie analysis
Machine Learning methods for movie-based multimodal interaction
Sentiment analysis and multimodal dialogue modeling for movies
Knowledge Graph generation, analysis, and extraction for movies and extended videos

Submission :

We invite submissions of long papers (up to 8 pages excluding references), short papers (up to 4 pages excluding references), and extended abstracts (up to 1 page excluding references), formatted according to the ACM template available here (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-master.zip), or directly from Overleaf (www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ). Submissions shall be single blind, i.e. do not need to be anonymized. Workshop papers will be indexed by ACM Digital Library in an adjunct proceedings.

Papers submitted at ICMI 2020 must not have been published previously. A paper is considered to have been published previously if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A paper substantially similar in content to one submitted to ICMI 2020 should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or workshop.

ICMI 2020 does not consider a paper on arXiv.org as a dual submission.

All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair :
easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dvu2020

Workshop website : https://sites.google.com/view/dvu2020-workshop
Important Dates:

HLVU movie dataset available including preliminary annotations: March 31, 2020

CFP in the 2020 Deep Video Understanding Grand Multimedia Challenge

April 2nd, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Call for Participation : Deep Video Understanding, ACM Multimedia 2020 Grand Challenge, October 12-16, 2020

Background

Deep video understanding is a difficult task which requires systems to develop a deep analysis and understanding of the relationships between different entities in video, to use known information to reason about other, more hidden information, and to populate a knowledge graph (KG) with all acquired information. To work on this task, a system should take into consideration all available modalities (speech, image/video, and in some cases text). The aim of this new challenge is to push the limits of multimodal extraction, fusion, and analysis techniques to address the problem of analyzing long duration videos holistically and extracting useful knowledge to utilize it in solving different types of queries. The target knowledge includes both visual and non-visual elements. As videos and multimedia data are getting more and more popular and usable by users in different domains, the research, approaches and techniques we aim to be applied in this Grand Challenge will be very relevant in the coming years and near future.

Challenge Overview:

Interested participants are invited to apply their approaches and methods on a novel High-Level Video Understanding (HLVU) dataset being made available by the challenge organizers. These include 10 movies with a Creative Commons license. The dataset will be annotated by human assessors and ground truth (Ontology of relations, entities, actions & events, names and images of all main characters, and Knowledge Graph for 50% of the movies) provided to participating researchers for training and development of their systems. The organizers will support evaluation and scoring of three main query types distributed with the dataset (please refer to the dataset webpage for more details):

– Multiple choice question answering on part of Knowledge Graph for selected movies.
– Possible path analysis between persons / entities of interest in a Knowledge Graph extracted from selected movies.
– Fill in the Graph Space – Given a partial graph, systems will be asked to fill in the graph space.

Submissions:
Each Grand Challenge Submitted paper should be formated as 4-page short paper and will be included in the main conference proceeding.

Important Dates

HLVU movie dataset available including preliminary annotations: March 31, 2020
