CFP: 11th Int Workshop on Articulated Models and Deformable Objects (AMDO) 2020 http://www.visigrapp.org/AMDO.aspx

29 February, 2020 – Valletta, Malta

 

 

The Mathematics and Computer Science Department of the UIB, the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI) and the Communications & Computer Engineering Department, University of Malta, are organising the eleventh international workshop AMDO 2020 that will take place in Valletta, Malta. The goal of this workshop is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working in the areas covered by the workshop. A study of the human body using computer technologies as the main tool is the unifying theme of the workshop. The AMDO 2020 workshop offers a great opportunity to encourage collaboration between researchers in the areas of computer vision, computer graphics, advanced multimedia applications and human multimodal interfaces that share common problems and frequently use similar techniques or tools. Our main focus in this edition is on advanced techniques applied to Human Motion Analysis & Synthesis.

 

AMDO 2020 will consist of one day plenary sessions (both regular and invited presentations). The workshop registration fee is defined on the VISIGRAPP website and includes the same services as the other parallel conferences.

Students and AERFAI members can register at a reduced rate.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE: Human Modelling & Animation, Human Motion Analysis & Tracking, 3D Human Reconstruction & Recognition, Human 3D Medical Deformable Models & Visualization. Advanced Human Computer Applications. Facial Expression Analysis, Recognition and Modelling.

Call for Data Mining Competition — FedCSIS at the KnowledgePit Platform

December 4th, 2019 Daniela Lopez de Luise
We invite industrial, government, and academic organizations to submit
proposals to organize a Data Mining Competition at the 15th Conference
on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2020). Data Mining
Competitions are based on data sets released by the sponsoring
organizations. The competitions will last for several months, with the
winners announced at the conference on September 6-9, 2020.

Data Mining Competitions associated with the FedCSIS Conference Series
have a long tradition. Since 2014, they have been organized every year
at the KnowledgePit Platform, and in total, they attracted over 1200
teams from more than 40 countries. The competitions are usually focused
on learning the most accurate classification / prediction / forecasting
models based on the provided data sets. The participants are free to use
all machine learning / data mining methods that they find as useful.

Those who are willing to organize a competition need to remember about
the following:

The tasks should be challenging but achievable within the expected
timeline of the competition.

The data sets should be novel. They cannot be available before the
competition begins. The KnowledgePit Team will assist in preparation of
publicly available versions of the competition data sets.

The organizers will be requested to cooperate with the KnowledgePit Team
in order to describe the task and the data in the most clear way to the
competition participants.

We will consider topics from (but not limited to) the following
application domains:

– Mobility
– Health and wellness
– Finance
– Advanced manufacturing
– Predictive maintenance
– Retail and e-commerce
– Gaming industry
– Cybersecurity
– Smart City and Community

The proposals will be evaluated based on the significance and novelty of
the considered problem, clarity of its definition, and availability of
the related data. The competition will be hosted at the KnowledgePit
Platform which provides an automatic submission and evaluation system,
and maintains a leaderboard for the participants. Competition winners
will be selected based on their final ranking, as well as a short report
describing their algorithms and results. Top performing teams will also
be invited to publish a regular paper at FedCSIS 2020, where they will
be able to present their solution during the special competition
session. The additional paper will be prepared and presented jointly by
the Competition Organizers and the KnowledgePit Team.

Tentative Competition Timeline.

Step 1 – Submissions of competition proposals due, December 20, 2019

Step 2 – Proposal evaluation and acceptance decisions due, December 31, 2019

Step 3 – Data release, the start of the challenge, January 13, 2020

Step 4 – Deadline for participants to submit final solutions and
reports, May 3, 2020

Step 5 – Publication of final results, May 15, 2020

Data Mining Challenge Proposal Format

Proposals should answer the following questions:

– Who are the organizers? Provide the names, affiliations, contact
information, and brief bio of the organizers.

– Which sector/application domain is considered in the proposed Data
Mining Challenge?

– What kind of data set will be provided? Please describe its essential
