PRELUDE 2022: PeRvasive sEnsing and muLtimedia UnDErstanding 

Co-located with:

SITIS 2022 – The 16th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet based Systems

19-21 October 2022 – Dijon, France

Scope 

Advances in sensing and computing are currently impacting several sectors ranging from healthcare to cultural heritage, from smart cities to Industry 4.0. Information collected by sensors is propagated through internet-based systems and processed through the network's nodes. Mobile, edge and fog computing approaches have pushed advanced “smart” processing to the far edges of the network, while AI as a Service (AIaaS) paradigms abstract and virtualise intelligent services for deployment on the cloud. Multimedia information, including images, video streams, acoustic data and temporal series, are a relevant part of the data to be processed, analysed and understood for fully taking advantage of sensing resources.

This workshop aims to shorten the gap between edge-based and cloud-based approaches for multimedia understanding by addressing the challenges and opportunities of the combined approach. Relevance will be given to transversal issues, such as those related to the privacy and security of such hybrid strategies, as well as to the quest for optimal and greener configuration of AI services towards sustainable and ethical use of computing resources. The co-existence of intelligent services distributed in a computational continuum made of heterogeneous nodes opens the possibilities of performing learning, including reinforcement learning, in such scenarios while coping with possible data shortages or faults of some nodes.

Contributions addressing the above issues from a theoretical or simulation perspective are sought, while demonstrations in applicative scenarios will also be welcome.

 

Topics 

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

     Embedded systems and smart camera networks

     Mobile and pervasive computing

     Artificial intelligence in resource-constrained environments and on-device machine learning;

     Learning in multi-tier networked ecosystems

Call for Submissions – CVPR 2022 NeuroVision Workshop (Deadline Extended)

NeuroVision: What can computer vision learn from visual neuroscience?
A CVPR 2022 Workshop
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana

Updated Important Dates
Submission Deadline: May 8, 2022 – 11:59pm (PDT)
Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2022
Workshop date: June 19, 2022

Submission Page

We are delighted to announce the NeuroVision workshop hosted in conjunction with CVPR 2022 on June 19, 2022. This workshop seeks to understand the contexts in which the brain’s visual system can inform and improve current AI systems, and to explore principles of the brain that can be extracted and incorporated into AI and ML. 

The workshop is a full-day event featuring invited speakers, panel discussions, and poster presentations/ lighting talks, with the objective of fostering discussions that are relevant to larger scientific communities beyond computer vision, including neuroscience, psychology, human computer interaction, augmented reality, and visual prosthetics. The workshop will offer both in-person and virtual attendance options.

We invite submissions of extended abstracts (up to four pages including references) describing work related to topics in biological vision that can potentially benefit computer vision systems. 

The following is a non exhaustive list of relevant topics:
  • Active vision’s role in visual search, scene understanding, social interactions, etc.
  • Learning in the visual system. Learning in biology is continual, few-shot, and adversarially robust.
  • The roles of recurrent and top-down connections in the visual cortex.
  • Spike based spatiotemporal processing and its implications for neuromorphic vision.
  • Motion perception in dynamic environments.
  • Neural coding schemes in the visual system (e.g., sparse coding, predictive coding, and temporal coding.)
  • The roles of attention mechanisms in biological vision.

Accepted submissions will be presented as posters/ lightning talks at the workshop, but will not be included in the Proceedings of CVPR 2022. After the workshop, we will be inviting authors to submit papers for a special issue on NeuroVision in the journal Biological Cybernetics.
