CFP: CVPR 2025 Workshop on Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning (Submission Deadline Extension)
Anoop Cherian
4th Edition of the Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning Workshop (MAR 2025)
June 11 or 12th, 2025, Nashville, TN
Held in conjunction with CVPR 2025
https://marworkshop.github.io/cvpr25/
CALL FOR PAPERS
The focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers in multimodal reasoning and cognitive models of intelligence, towards positioning the current research progress in AI within the overarching goal of achieving human-like machine intelligence and together develop new models for algorithmic intelligence. An important goal is to bring to the forefront problems in perception, language modeling, and cognition that are often overlooked in state-of-the-art research and that are important for making true progress in AI. To effectuate this goal, we plan to bring together outstanding faculty/researchers working at the intersections of vision, language, and cognition to provide their opinions on the recent breakthroughs, as well as showcase their cutting edge research that could inspire the audience to search for the missing rungs on the ladder to true intelligence.
We invite you to submit high-quality papers to the workshop that propose innovative approaches, theoretical insights, or practical applications towards advancing this exciting field, as well as foster meaningful discussions and collaborations.

TOPICS
We invite submissions of high-quality research papers in the topics related to multimodal algorithmic reasoning. The topics for MAR 2025 include, but are not limited to:
* Multimodal learning
* Algorithmic reasoning in vision, including program synthesis, planning, and procedural learning
* Neural architectures and approaches for mathematical reasoning
* Architectures for aligning/integrating multimodal foundation models, including vision, language, audio, and 3D content.
* Architectures for solving abstract multimodal reasoning/language-based IQ puzzles, e.g., using sketches, diagrams, audio-visual clips, etc.
* New tasks, datasets, benchmarks, and models for multimodal reasoning including algorithmic reasoning, neuro-symbolic reasoning, abstract reasoning, mathematical reasoning, etc.
* Extreme generalization to new tasks and few-shot concept induction
* Synthetic data and automatic verification for reasoning
* Multimodal agents including programmable agent, tool-use agent, etc., for reasoning tasks
* Position papers on novel perspectives to understand AI and human problem solving
* Studies comparing AI and human problem solving skills, including but not limited to: i) Perspectives from psychology, neuroscience, and educational science, ii) Children's cognitive development, and iii) Limitations of large vision-and-language models
* Vision-and-language applications.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We have two tracks for paper submissions:
1. Papers with IEEE/CVF workshop proceedings (≤ 8 pages)
2. Papers without workshop proceedings (4 or <=8 pages)
For track 1, we are inviting only original, previously unpublished papers, and dual submissions are not allowed. The page limits described above are excluding the references. Papers accepted to track 2 will not be included in the proceedings, however will be publicly shared on the workshop website. The submissions to this track can be novel/ongoing work (limited to 4 pages) or accepted/previously published papers (limited to 8 pages), both excluding references. Please see the workshop website for more details.
* All submissions are handled via the workshop’s CMT website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/MAR2025/.
* Submissions should be made in PDF format and should follow the official CVPR 2025 template and guidelines.
* All submissions should maintain author anonymity and should abide by the CVPR conference guidelines for double-blind review.
* Accepted papers will be presented as either an oral, spotlight, or poster presentation. At least one author of each accepted submission must present the paper at the workshop.
* Presentation of accepted papers at our workshop will follow the same policy as that for accepted papers at the CVPR main conference
* Papers accepted in track 1 will be part of the CVPR 2025 workshop proceedings.
* Authors may optionally upload supplementary materials, the deadline for which is the same as that of the main paper and should be submitted separately.
