ViDiScript. Visual Processing of Digital Manuscripts: Workflows, Pipelines, Best Practices at ICIAP 2023

May 30th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
CALL FOR PAPER

 
ViDiScript. Visual Processing of Digital Manuscripts: Workflows, Pipelines, Best Practices
 
Monday 11th September 2023, Udine (Italy)
 
workshop co-located with 2023 International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2023)
 
 
The workshop aims at collecting and connecting the most recent applications of Computer Vision to Historical Handwritten Documents Processing in its broader sense.
Many initiatives have focused on one dimension of the problem, such as layout analysis, image binarization, transcription or material aspects of the manufact. We would like to organise an event on the full historical document processing workflow and pipeline, connecting the multiple dimensions of the analysis of the manuscript document, in its material and codicological, as well as textual, paratextual and palaeographical aspects. We are also interested to the possibilities offered by Computer Vision tools for the preservation and analysis of ancient and medieval documents, which should be part of the workflow.
 
The workshop calls for submissions is addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
 
·      Handwritten Text Recognition of historical documents
·      Layout Analysis for historical documents
·      Writer Identification in manuscript documents
·      Historical Documents processing workflow
·      Few-shot learning approaches for HTR and Layout Analysis
·      Computer Vision and Digital Codicology
·      3D reconstruction, visualisation and modeling for Historical Documents
·      Multispectral imaging for analyzing Historical Documents
·      Digital Preservation
 
Submission and review
 
Participants can choose between two formats:
 
1. Full paper (max. 10 + 2 pages for references): accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop, and published in the ICIAP 2023 Workshops volume, edited by Springer.
 
2. Abstract and short presentation (1-4 pages) of ongoing projects presenting workflows for preliminary, mid-term or pilot projects are welcome, although they cannot be published in the conference proceedings.
 
Important dates
Paper Submission Deadline: June 23rd, 2023
Decision to Authors: July 21st, 2023
Camera ready papers due: July 31st, 2023
 
Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the Microsoft CMT Conference system at the following address:https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICIAPDHH2023
Contact: ai4ch@uniud.it
 
Chairs

Matteo Al Kalak (University of Modena e Reggio Emilia); Lorenzo Baraldi (University of Modena e Reggio Emilia); Andrea Brunello (University of Udine); Emanuela Colombi (University of Udine); Gian Luca Foresti (University of Udine)

IEEE ICCI*CC’23: Frontiers in Cognitive Computing | Cognitive Informatics | Intelligent Computing | Autonomous AI | Autonomous Learning | Autonomous Intelligence Generation @Stanford Univ.

May 30th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
******************************************************************
2nd CFP (extended to June 26, 2023 upon numerical requests.)
We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this post.

****************************************************************** 

  

Dear Colleague,

The IEEE ICCI*CC series (https://www.i2cicc.org/ieee-iccicc-series) is a flagship conference of its field sponsored by IEEE CS, CIS, and SMC. Following the previous 21 successful conferences on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing (ICCI’02 through ICCI*CC’22), the 22nd IEEE Int’l Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC’23, hybrids) focuses on themes of Autonomous AI, Cognitive Computers, Cognitive Machine Learning, Intelligent Computing, Autonomous Systems, and Cognitive Robots. ICCICC’23 welcomes researchers, practitioners, and graduate students to join the international initiative on cognitive informatics and cognitive computing toward the investigation of cognitive mechanisms and processes of human intelligence generation, brain-inspired systems, and the development of the next generation of cognitive computers and autonomous AI.

Research papers or special workshop/session proposals for IEEE ICCI*CC'23 are welcome. The paper submission site is at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeiccicc2023. Proceedings of ICCI*CC'23 will be published by IEEE CS Press (indexed by EI, Google Scholar, etc.). Selected papers will be recommended to be published in SCI and EI indexed transactions and journals such as IEEE SMC-Letters and Frontiers in Computer Science (FCS). 


Full papers are expected to be around 6-8 pages in IEEE double column format. Short papers (4-5 pages) that report industrial experience, case studies, work in progress, or graduate students’ research are welcome.

 
We look forward to meeting you in IEEE ICCI*CC’23 (hybrid) at Stanford University 
during Aug. 19-21, 2023. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
IEEE ICCI*CC'22 Co-Chairs
