Daniela Lopez de Luise CfP: CVPR 2026 Workshop on Interactive Physical AI
February 24th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise We welcome and invite you to participate in the 1st Workshop on Interactive Physical AI. This half-day event will be held at CVPR 2026 in Denver, Colorado in June 2026.
*****************************************************************
Event: Workshop on Interactive Physical AI
Location: Denver, Colorado (CVPR 2026)
3rd or 4th June, 2026
Workshop Website: https://research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/projects/IPA/2026/
*****************************************************************
Workshop Overview: Interactive Physical AI
Advances in multimodal learning, embodied intelligence, and conversational AI are transforming how humans interact with intelligent AI systems in our physical world. These Interactive Physical AI (IPA) systems can simultaneously perceive humans and scenes with multimodal signals, communicate with verbal and nonverbal behaviors, and act safely and effectively under physical-world constraints in shared spaces. Embodiments of IPA include robots, physically-grounded and environment-aware avatars (e.g., AR telepresence), and on-device audio-visual agents that interact with humans in the physical world.
This workshop will bring together researchers from computer vision, robotics, and multimodal AI to discuss the full scope of interactive physical AI systems and research challenges to advance this frontier. The program will include invited talks from speakers, as well as posters and spotlight talks of accepted papers.
Call-for-Papers
We invite authors to submit unpublished papers (8-page CVPR format) to our workshop, to be presented at a poster session upon acceptance. All submissions will go through a double-blind review process. All contributions must be submitted on OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/CVPR/2026/Workshop/IPA

Workshop @ ICMR 2026 June 15, 2026
Modern communication does not rely anymore solely on mainstream media like newspapers or television, but rather takes place over social networks, in real-time, and with live interactions among users, or increasingly mediated via AI-based systems, such as bots and recommendation algorithms. The speedup of distribution and the amount of information available, however, also led to an increased amount of misleading content, disinformation and propaganda. Conversely, the fight against disinformation, in which news agencies and NGOs (among others) take part on a daily basis to avoid the risk of citizens' opinions being distorted, became even more crucial and demanding, especially for what concerns sensitive topics such as immigration, health and climate change.
Disinformation campaigns are leveraging, among others, AI-based tools for content generation and modification: hyper-realistic visual, speech, textual and video content have emerged under the collective name of “deepfakes”, and more recently with the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), undermining the perceived credibility of media content. It is, therefore, even more crucial to counter these advances by devising new robust and trustworthy AI tools able to detect the presence of inaccurate, synthetic and manipulated content, accessible to journalists and fact-checkers.
Future multimedia disinformation detection research relies on the combination of different modalities and on the adoption of the latest advances of deep learning approaches and architectures. These raise new challenges and questions that need to be addressed to reduce the effects of disinformation campaigns. The workshop, in its fourth edition, welcomes contributions related to different aspects of AI-powered disinformation detection, analysis and mitigation.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-
Disinformation detection in multimedia content (e.g., video, audio, texts, images)
-
Multimodal verification methods
-
Synthetic and manipulated media detection
-
Multimedia forensics
-
Multimodal fusion approaches for disinformation detection
-
Disinformation spread and effects on social media
-
Analysis of disinformation campaigns in societally-sensitive domains
-
Robustness of media verification against adversarial attacks and real-world complexities
-
Fairness and non-discrimination of disinformation detection in multimedia content
-
Explaining disinformation detection results to non-expert users
-
Temporal and cultural aspects of disinformation
-
Dataset sharing and governance in AI for disinformation
-
Datasets for disinformation detection and multimedia verification
-
Open resources, e.g., datasets, software tools
-
Large Language Models for analysing and mitigating disinformation campaigns
-
Large Multimodal Models for media verification
-
Multimedia verification systems and applications
-
Benchmarking and evaluation frameworks
-
Emerging threats due to wide adoption of LLMs, e.g. hallucinations, grooming, etc.

On behalf of the organizers,
Call for Challenges — AVSS 2026
February 24th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise 📣 Call for Challenges — AVSS 2026
The 22th International Conference on Advanced Visual and Signal-Based Systems (AVSS 2026) (Lecce – Italy, 1-2 September 2026) invites proposals for Challenges to be held in conjunction with the main conference.
Challenges are what make a conference truly come alive, adding energy, excitement, and plenty of conversation throughout the conference. They turn great ideas into real-world tests, where methods are compared, results are shared, and progress happens together.
By working on shared datasets with clear tasks and evaluation rules, challenges support reproducible research, fair benchmarking, and hands-on experimentation. They also bring academia, industry, and public institutions to the same table—collaborating on concrete problems inspired by real needs.
AVSS 2026 is looking for bold and engaging challenges that showcase cutting-edge research while tackling important surveillance, safety, and security topics. Help us make AVSS 2026 more dynamic, interactive, and fun than ever!
👉 Got an idea? Let’s challenge the community!
