In conjunction with ECCV 2018.
Munich, September 9th 2018
The exploitation of the power of big data in the last few years led to a big step forward in many applications of Computer Vision. However, most of the tasks tackled so far are involving mainly visual modality due to the unbalanced number of labelled samples available among modalities (e.g., there are many huge labelled datasets for images while not as many for audio or IMU based classification), resulting in a huge gap in performance when algorithms are trained separately.
This workshop aims to bring together communities of machine learning and multimodal data fusion. We expect contributions involving video, audio, depth, IR, IMU, laser, text, drawings, synthetic, etc. Position papers with feasibility studies and cross-modality issues with highly applicative flair are also encouraged therefore we expect a positive response from academic and industrial communities.
This is an open call for papers, soliciting original contributions considering recent findings in theory, methodologies, and applications in the field of multimodal machine learning. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Papers will be limited up to 14 pages according to the ECCV format (c.f. main conference authors guidelines). All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers with double blind policy. Papers will be selected based on relevance, significance and novelty of results, technical merit, and clarity of presentation. Papers will be published in ECCV 2018 proceedings.
All the papers should be submitted using CMT website.
The workshop has received 28 valid submissions, for a total of 11 papers accepted, 3 of them as orals.
