Warsaw, Poland, 17-20 September 2023

CORE Ranked B conference; IEEE# 57573

www.fedcsis.org

The 18th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems
(FedCSIS 2023) cordially invites you to contribute a Technical Session
(conference, symposium, workshop, consortium meeting, project
dissemination meeting, special session, etc.). The FedCSIS conferences
consist of five Tracks that contain Technical Sessions. Many of them are
the recurring yearly events, but we also solicit and welcome proposals
for new Technical Sessions, until November 14, 2022. Moreover, the
existing events that would like to join the FedCSIS conference series,
are also welcome. The Technical Sessions can run over any span of time
within the conference dates; from half-day to three days.
FedCSIS is a large rigorous scientific conference staged across Europe.
Annually, it attracts ~300 submissions from ~40 countries from around
the world. Papers are accepted in three categories: regular (full and
short), position, and communication. All regular, presented, papers are
submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and many are offered
post-publication opportunities (journals, Springer volumes, etc.) after
appropriate extensions and changes. Position and communication papers
are published in separate volumes of the Annals of Computer Science and
Information Systems series. All papers are published with ISBN, ISSN and
DOI numbers, and submitted to, and indexed in, the most influential
indexing services. Since 2012, the FedCSIS Proceedings are indexed in
SCOPUS.

Any newly proposed Technical Session will be evaluated on the basis of
scientific/technical interest and/or its relevance to practitioners in
its topics, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested
information, the innovativeness of the topics, level of correspondence
and “value-added” to the denoted FedCSIS track, i.e.:

* Advanced Artificial Intelligence in Applications
* Computer Systems and Simulations
* Network Systems and Applications
* Information Technology for Business & Society
* Software and Systems Development

Call for Papers for Technical Sessions will be announced by three means:
(1) by FedCSIS Chairs in generic Calls for Conference Papers, to reach
out to the computer science and intelligence systems researchers at
large; (2) by Track Chairs in Calls for Track Papers, to reach out to
the researchers specifically interested in track topics; (3) by
Technical Session Chairs in Calls for Technical Session Papers, to reach
out to the professional communities involved in research addressed by
the Technical Session. All papers will have to be submitted to the
FedCSIS Conference System (EasyChair). The submitters will have to
select a Track/Technical Session (event) within which their paper will
be reviewed for acceptance.

Technical Session proposals should include the following information (3
pages maximum):
1. The nature of the Technical Session (conference, symposium, workshop,
consortium meeting, project dissemination meeting, special session, etc.).
2. The title and acronym of the Technical Session, and the list of topics.
3. A brief explanation of why the proposed event will fit into the
FedCSIS aims and program.
3. The contact information of the Technical Session chairs, including
links to their personal websites, and an overview of previous
experiences with organization of scientific events.
4. Preliminary list of PC members who have agreed (or are likely to
agree) to join.
5. Indication of the expected number of papers/attendees.
6. Information about planned post-publications of extended and revised
papers in high-quality journals, edited volumes, etc.

Technical Session organizers should email their proposals (in a single
pdf file) by November 14, 2022 to the FedCSIS Secretariat at:
secretariat@fedcsis.org

Title: Generative models in computer vision and biometrics

Abstract: With the developments in the field of generative modeling and
with the appearance of powerful model architectures, such as Generative
Adversarial Networks (GAN), a wide range of new techniques and inventive
algorithms has emerged recently to solve diverse computer vision
problems, including many problems in the area of biometrics. In this
talk, I will first provide a short overview of recent advances in
generative modeling and describe some of our research efforts that focus
explicitly on generative models. Next, I will present examples of our
recent work utilizing generative models and talk about: (i) face image
editing with our GAN inversion based MaskFaceGAN technique that allows
for photo realistic image manipulation and explicitly addresses the
problem of attribute entanglement seen with many latent-space based
editing solutions, (ii) computer vision for fashion and virtual try-on
with our context-driven C-VTON model  and (ii) bimodal ocular image
generation (and annotation) with our Dual-Branch StlyGAN2 (DB-StyleGAN)
model. Finally, I will elaborate on some of the existing challenges with
generative models and highlight future research directions.

Ljubljana, Slovenia. He received his doctoral degree from the Faculty of
Electrical Engineering in Ljubljana in 2010. Vitomir's research
interests include problems related to biometrics, computer vision, image
processing, pattern recognition and machine learning. He (co-)authored
more than 150 research papers for leading international peer reviewed
journals and conferences in these and related areas. He served in
different capacities on the organizing committees of several top-tier
vision conferences, including IEEE Face and Gesture, ICB, WACV and IJCB.
Vitomir is a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information
Forensics and Security, a Subject Editor for Elsevier's Signal
Processing and an Associate Editor for Pattern Recognition, and IET
