CVPR 2023 Workshop on Ethical Considerations in Creative applications of Computer Vision: Call for Submissions
March 29th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise We solicit short papers that explore the development and application of computer vision techniques in creative fields, with a particular focus on fashion, art, and design. Accepted short papers will be made available on the workshop's official webpage. The submission should be between two and eight pages in length (excluding references). We encourage submission of work that has been previously published, and ongoing projects related to the workshop's theme. Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session. Manuscripts should adhere to the CVPR 2023 template and be submitted via our CMT portal.
Submission deadline:
We have extended the deadline for paper submissions to April 17th. For further information, please visit our website at: https://sites.google.com/view/ec3v-cvpr2023/home
Submission portal:
You can submit your paper here: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/EC3V2023
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in sharing this message with researchers and artists who might be interested in exploring the ethical considerations of computer vision tools, including but not limited to generative models like text-to-image models and generative art. We are particularly keen to welcome submissions from researchers in disciplines outside of computer vision, encouraging them to submit papers and participate in the workshop. Please find a detailed list of topics we are interested in at the following link: https://sites.google.com/view/ec3v-cvpr2023/paper-track
We wholeheartedly look forward to your participation in EC3V and are excited to facilitate a stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue. By working together, we can enhance our collective understanding of the ethical implications inherent in the creative applications of computer vision, ultimately contributing to a more responsible and informed progression within the field.
Free Webinar by Dr. Ran He on Heterogeneous Face Recognition
March 29th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise The IEEE Biometrics Council invites participants to the upcoming (free)
webinar by Prof. Ran He on “Heterogeneous Face Recognition”. Detail on
the webinar are given below:
Title: Heterogeneous Face Recognition
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ran He, National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition,
CASIA, China
When: 29 March 2023, at 10am Beijing time (4 am CEST, for US: March 28 –
9 pm CST, 10pm EST)
Where: Online (Zoom)
Registration: (free, but required):
https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QhsNRSWRQTOP3KJXkWVVVw
*** Talk Summary ***
Ubiquitous vision sensors not only facilitate the wide application of
face recognition but also generate various heterogeneous sets of facial
images. Matching faces across different sensing modalities raises the
problem of heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) or cross domain face
recognition. Due to significant difference in sensing processes,
heterogeneous images of the same subject have large appearance
variations, which has distinguished HFR from regular visible face
recognition. During last several years, our research group have
investigated a range such problems and developed applications. This talk
will focus on research and recent advances of heterogeneous face
recognition, including fundamental models, face recognition method and
recognition from synthesis.
*** About the Speaker ***
Dr. Ran He received the PhD degrees in pattern recognition and
intelligence system from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of
Sciences (CASIA), China, in 2009. He has been a professor at National
Laboratory of Pattern Recognition since December, 2016. He is now
directing the visual perception and machine learning group. He has
published two books and more than 200 papers in refereed journals and
conference proceedings in the areas of computer vision, pattern
recognition, and image processing. He is the editor board member of IEEE
TIP, IEEE T-BIOM and Pattern Recognition. He was the area chair of
CVPR/ECCV/ICML/NeurIPS. His research won IEEE SPS Young Author Best
Paper Award (2020), IAPR ICPR Best Scientific Paper Award (2020), and
IEEE ICB Honorable Mention Paper Award (2019). He is the 2022 recipient
of CAS Outstanding Tutor Award. He is a senior member of the IEEE and
also a Fellow of IAPR.

The Forum consists of invited talks, panel discussions, contributed talks and presentations of DESDEO, the open-source software framework developed at the University of Jyvaskyla.
DESDEO contains implementations of many interactive multiobjective optimization methods, both scalarization-based and evolutionary ones. DESDEO can be used for research and teaching purposes. We provide further details of the modular structure and potential ways of utilizing DESDEO in tutorial sessions at the beginning of the Forum.
The Forum also offers an opportunity for a hands-on experience of applying DESDEO in a bring-your-own-problem session.
Please, come and share your thoughts and join the discussion on where we should take the field. The registration is open till May 30, 2023 at jyu.fi/desdeo23.
Submission of max ½-page abstracts of contributed talks is open till May 5, 2023. But if you are interested in submitting an abstract, please, inform us by email as soon as possible.
The forum takes place during the time when the days are the longest in Finland, so come and enjoy this special season of the year.
For further information, contact us at optim@jyu.fi.
