CVPR 2013 WORKSHOP
V&L Net Workshop on Language for Vision
June 23rd, Portland, Oregon

CALL FOR PAPERS

Fragments of natural language, in the form of tags, captions,
subtitles, surrounding text or audio, can aid the interpretation of
image and video data by adding context or disambiguating visual
appearance. In addition, labelled images are essential for training
object or activity classifiers. For this reason, there is a growing
interest in exploiting language understanding in order to help solve
problems in computer vision.

The EPSRC Network on Vision and Language (V&L Net -
http://www.vlnet.org.uk/) has been set up to foster collaborative work
in this area. It is a forum for researchers from the fields of
Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing to meet, exchange
ideas, expertise and technology, and form new partnerships. The aim is
to create a lasting interdisciplinary research community situated at
the language-vision interface, jointly working towards solutions for
some of today's most challenging computational challenges, including
image and video search, description of visual content and
text-to-image generation.

Papers are invited that describe novel research in which language is
used to help solve a vision problem or where using language and vision
together offers improved performance over using one alone. We also
welcome papers describing new datasets or benchmarks for
language-assisted computer vision.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Image and video labelling and annotation
* Image and video description
* Computational modelling of human vision and language
* Image and video retrieval
* Multimodal human-computer communication
* Automatic text illustration
* Language-driven animation
* Facial animation from speech
* Assistive methodologies
* Text-to-image generation
