CALL FOR PAPERS

We strongly encourage students, post-docs, and researchers who primarily identify as LatinX , working anywhere in the world in all areas of Computer Vision to submit work describing new ideas, work-in-progress as well as previously or concurrently published research. 

We welcome submissions in theoretical and methodological contributions, but also applications. While the presenting author need not be the first author of the work, we encourage authors to highlight the contribution of Latinx individuals — particularly the presenting author — in the abstract. While the event focuses primarily on researchers who identify as Latinx, everyone is invited to attend.

Important Dates (all deadlines at 11:59 PM PST)

CLOSED

Topics of interest include all aspects of computer vision and pattern recognition, for guidance, you can check the topics of interest of conferences such as ECCV, ICCV, and CVPR

We accept the following kinds of submissions:

  • Full Paper: Up to 8 pages excluding references. We allow supplementary material in another file. Accepted papers of this kind will be part of the official CVPR workshop proceedings and presented in the workshop. Note that these papers are expected to present novel and complete research. Submission website here.

IMPORTANT: Accepted papers may be given registration to CVPR.

  • Extended abstracts: Up to four (4) pages excluding references. They can present work in progress, exploratory/preliminary research or already published work, or any relevant computer vision applications for Latin America. Accepted papers in this track will not be archived in the CVPR workshop proceedings and can be published in another venue in the future.

Submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed and should be submitted as a single PDF file. The submissions should strictly follow the guidelines provided by the CVPR 2025 to avoid the risk of being rejected without consideration of their merits. Please download and use the CVPR 2025 Author Kit for your submission. Submissions must state the research problem, motivation, and technical contribution. All submissions must be self-contained and include all figures, tables, and references. 

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The workshop is a half-day event with invited speakers, oral presentations, and posters. The event brings together faculty, graduate students, research scientists, and engineers for an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas.

While all presenters will identify primarily as LatinX, all are invited to attend. LatinX in AI encourage applications for financial support to attend. It must be noted that the Latinx in AI organization can provide financial support for attending the conference, either in the form of registration fees or other travel expenses, if you have any questions feel free to contact us at lxcv-2025@latinxinai.org

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Travel grants have already closed. Submit your paper and apply for an LXCV travel grant here. Deadline to apply: April 19th, 2025

Additionally, we invite you to take advantage of the travel and registration support options available through the CVPR DEI grant 2025. April 19th, 2025
