ECCV 2022 Workshop “What is Motion for?”
August 30th, 2022 
Daniela Lopez de Luise CALL FOR PAPERS — “What is Motion for?” Workshop in conjunction with ECCV 2022
Website: https://what-is-motion-for.github.io/
Motion is an important cue for many perception tasks from navigation to scene understanding. This workshop will explore various ways of representing and extracting motion information, and provide a venue to exchange ideas about the use of motion in Computer Vision.
To this end, we invite paper contributions discussing temporal and motion representations and applications, evaluation metrics, and benchmarks that will help understand and shape the future of temporal and motion representations and its role in the field of computer vision and other related areas.
The workshop will focus on topics including (but not limited to):
- Motion representations (optical flow, stereo, scene flow, and alternatives)
- Benchmarks involving motion estimation or motion understanding
- Multi-frame and long term motion representations
- Applications of motion estimation and representations and the impact on other computer vision problems (e.g. tracking, action classification, video captioning, etc)
- Motion representations in other applications, such as graphics, autonomous driving, robotics, medical imaging, animal tracking etc
- Event cameras and applications of event-based representations
Important Dates
- Paper submission deadline: Sep 3rd, 2022
- Notification to authors: September 26th, 2022
- Finalized workshop program: October 10th, 2022
- Workshop: During ECCV (Oct. 23-27, 2022); exact date TBD
Paper & Submission format
We will accept submissions in two formats:
- Previously published papers (up to 12 pages in ECCV submission format) representing work that is relevant to the workshop and has been published in a peer-reviewed venue before. These submissions will be checked for relevance to the workshop, but will not undergo a complete review, and will not be published in the workshop proceedings.
- Novel works and ideas in the form of full papers (up to 12 pages in ECCV submission format) or extended abstracts (up to 4 pages, no format will be given preference over the other) representing novel work that has not been previously published or accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed venue. These submissions will undergo double-blind review, and authors of accepted works will have the option to have their work included in the ECCV workshop proceedings. Note that if you want to re-submit your paper to a future Computer Vision conference, the length should not exceed 4 pages including citations.
Accepted papers will be presented as posters/short online presentations, and the authors of the best paper will be invited to give an oral presentation. The workshop website will provide links to the accepted papers. Authors of novel and previously unpublished papers will have the option to have their papers included in the ECCV workshop proceedings.

Introduction
Social computing and networking is concerned with the intersection of social behaviour and computing systems, creating or recreating social conventions and contexts through the use of software and technology. Various social computing applications such as blogs, email, instant messaging, social networking (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ etc.), wikis, and social bookmarking have been widely popularised by providing digital platforms for social interaction. Such applications have been profoundly change social behaviours and digital life styles of humankind whilst pushing the boundaries of Internet technologies. While people can enjoy or even indulge in the benefits such as freedom and convenience brought about by social computing, various critical issues such as trust, privacy, HCI design, and the modelling as well as understanding of social behaviours via computational means provide significant challenges.
SocialCom (Social Computing and Networking) was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Social Computing & Networking and its broadly related areas.
Scope and Topics
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
· Fundamentals of social computing
· Modelling of social behaviour
· Social network analysis and mining
· Big social media data

2nd CFP – Research topic on Artificial Intelligence to Support UAVs in Healthcare
August 30th, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise AIDA Event: MICCAI Hackathon 2022, 3-4 & 8 September 2022
August 30th, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise The MICCAI Hackathon comprises a mix of senior and young researchers in the Machine Learning and Medical Image Analysis field. Wilson Silva is the MICCAI Hackathon Chair for this edition. Wilson is about to finish his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Porto and INESC TEC. He just recently started as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Netherlands Cancer Institute. His research interests lie mainly in Explainable AI and its applications in Radiology.
The MICCAI Hackathon (https://miccai-hackathon.com/) is an opportunity to exchange, discuss, reflect, and possibly come up with ideas and suggestions on how our community could bridge the gap to the clinics and move MICCAI (Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention) methods towards clinical application. Above all, the aim is to have fun and to exchange with other people in the community. The 2022 Edition will happen on two disjoint dates:
1) A virtual hackathon weekend on September 3-4, 2022
2) A meeting on September 18, 2022, as a virtual satellite event at the MICCAI Conference
During the virtual hackathon weekend, participants will work on tasks related to the motto “How can we bridge the gap to the clinics and move MICCAI methods towards clinical application?” and shortly present their outcomes at the end of the hackathon. The best teams will present their contributions at the meeting on September 18, 2022, at the MICCAI conference. The top three contributions will be awarded Amazon vouchers valued 800 USD in total!
Tasks and Mentors (virtual hackathon weekend on September 3-4, 2022):
