ICCV and LXCV are being hosted virtually in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

REGISTRATION GRANTS to attend the workshop and ICCV will be provided to poster and DC presenters, as well as general attendees, apply here.

The aim of the first version of the LXCV workshop at ICCV (a previous edition was held at CVPR 2021)  is to serve as a forum to develop relationships among the diverse members of the LatinX community and the ICCV community at large. Our concrete objectives are outlined as follows:

• Provide a discussion and support space for LatinX to share their academic, industrial, cultural, and social challenges. We aim to have a call for extended abstracts, and provide invited talks from Latinx professionals and researchers.

• Highlight prominent Latinx researchers and allies through keynote presentations. This is also an opportunity for junior professionals to connect with senior researchers and be exposed to potential role models.

• Provide resources and opportunities for career growth in our community.

Raising the visibility of women researchers within the LatinX community as they might face unique barriers of entry that lead to a lack of representation within the community. 

In this edition, we have two kinds of talks during the event:

1) Keynote speakers featuring the typical well-established researchers in the computer vision community.

2) Featured speakers to showcase exciting and talented researchers. For example, people at the beginning of his career (Assistant Professors, junior research scientist & Eng); people with less than 1000 citations in Google Scholar; core developers or maintainers of outstanding infrastructure contributions in CV, e.g., challenges/benchmarks, datasets, open-source libraries; or prominent senior researchers at the regional level but not necessarily established in CVPR & ICCV.

Please note that we will have a call for posters, without papers, there will not be a call for papers, unlike previous versions of this workshop.

The speakers can be living and working anywhere in the world. Still, they would have to identify as LatinX and work in CV (Academia, Industry, Entrepreneurship, or Politics) to be considered. 

We will be hosting a doctoral consortium (more details here)  and poster session (for details see here). Registration grants to attend the workshop and ICCV will be provided for general attendees, as well as for doctoral consortium and poster presenters. More details will be given soon!

Some of the topics covered by the workshop are as follows:

● Datasets and evaluation 

● Explainable AI, fairness, accountability, privacy, transparency, and ethics in vision

● Image and video retrieval 

● Image classification

● Machine learning architectures and formulations 

● Scene analysis and understanding 

● Transfer, low-shot, semi-and unsupervised learning 

● Video analysis and understanding 

● Vision + language, vision + other modalities 

● Vision applications and systems, vision for robotics and autonomous vehicles

The submission for both the doctoral consortium and the poster will be done through CMT:
