The EPSRC Network on Vision and Language (V&L Net)
--------------------------------------------------

The EPSRC Network on Vision and Language (V&L Net) is a forum for
researchers from the fields of Computer Vision and Language Processing
to meet, exchange ideas, expertise and technology, and form new
partnerships. Our aim is to create a lasting interdisciplinary research
community situated at the language-vision interface, jointly working
towards solutions for some of today's toughest computational challenges,
including image and video search, description of visual content and
text-to-image generation.

Workshop Aims
-------------

The Vision and Language Workshop is chiefly intended to be a networking
and community building event for the computer vision and language
processing communities. It will give us an opportunity to meet and get
to know each other. This process will be supported by an informal
approach characterised by diverse networking activities and a large
number of brief oral presentations combined with poster presentations.

The Vision and Language Workshop is free for full V&L Net members. V&L
Net will furthermore cover the cost of one night's accommodation in
Brighton and economy-class travel within the UK for full V&L Net members
presenting an accepted poster. Full details can be found on the workshop
page on the V&L Net website (for contact details see below).

Call for Participation
----------------------

The Vision&  Language Workshop organisers invite researchers with an
interest in computer vision and language processing to register for the
workshop by sending an email to vl-net at brighton.ac.uk
giving name, affiliation and primary research interests.

Mini-posters for WLTM Notice Board
----------------------------------

Delegates are furthermore encouraged to bring along to the workshop
A3-sized mini-posters for our would-like-to-meet notice board. The idea
is for mini-posters to describe collaborations sought, profile research
groups, advertise publications, and similar items.
