Call For Challenge Participants and Workshop Posters (WebVision Image Challenge)
The WebVision 2020 Image Track aims at promoting the advance of learning state-of-the-art visual models directly from the web,
and bringing together computer vision researchers interested in this field.
As the fourth version of the WebVision Image Track, we continuously use the WebVision 2.0 dataset for visual understanding by learning from web data.
The datasets consists of 16 million of web images crawled from Internet for 5,000 visual concepts.
A validation set containing around 290K images with human annotation is also provided for the convenience of algorithm development.
Based on this dataset, we also organize the 4th Challenge on Visual Understanding by Learning from Web Data.
The final results will be announced at the workshop, and the winners will be invited to present their approaches at the workshop.
Together with the challenge winners, we are also inviting people interested in this broad field to present in our poster sessions.
This will be a great opportunity to have you onsite discussing different visions in approaching an automated the computer vision system.
There is practical demand from industrial and this will also be a platform to share the challenges and efforts from your research.
Topics
- Learning from web data: new paradigm/system for learning from web data.
- Learning from web data: (deep) learning from weakly supervised web data, (deep) learning with label noise.
- Learning from web data: transfer learning /domain adaptation that transfers knowledge from large scale web data to new tasks/datasets.
- Learning from web data: new sources, new datasets and/or new frameworks.
- Cross-media image recognition/retrieval
- Multi-modality learning, jointly vision and language learning.
- Comparative studies on different approaches for weakly supervised learning, domain adaptation/transfer learning cross-modality learning or multiple modality learning.
- Learning with side information.
- Learning with minimum human supervision.
- Other topics related to learning from web data.
Challenge Submission
- A leaderboard is maintained to show the recognition results of all teams on partial test data. The competition contains two phases: develop phase and test phase.
- The development phase is between March 1st, 2020 and May 31st, 2020. During this phase, each team can submit result once per week.
- The test phase is between June 1st, 2020 and June 7th, 2020. During this phase, each team can submit one time with 5 results.
- The final rank is based on the best of 5 results in the final submission for each team.
==> For participation, go to the CodaLab project page.
Poster Paper Submission
- Submission to the poster paper track does NOT require participation in the challenge track.
- The submission can be published or unpublished work, but have to be accessible publicly.
We recommend authors to upload their paper on arXiv, but other publicly accessible link is also acceptable.
- There is no requirement on paper format or page limitation.
We recommend the CVPR formatting style with 4-8 pages.
- The submission will be reviewed by workshop chairs.
Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session at the workshop.
Note that all accepted papers will be linked on the workshop website, but will NOT appear in the CVPR workshop proceedings.
- Poster papers are reviewed in a rolling base until the places are fulfilled.
Acceptance notification will be sent out once the decision has been made.
We encourage people to submit as early as possible.
For papers submitted before May 15th, 2020,
the acceptance notification will be sent out at the latest by May 30th, 2020.
- How to submit? For poster paper submission,
please send an email titled with "[WebVision2020 Image Track Poster Paper Submission] Your Name - Your Paper Title" to webvisionworkshop@gmail.com.
The email should contain the following information.
