Workshop Topics
A key ingredient of the recent successes in computer vision has been the availability of
visual data with annotations, both for training and testing, and well-established
protocols for evaluating the results. However, this traditional supervised learning
framework is limited when it comes to deployment on new tasks and/or operating in
new domains. In order to scale to such situations, we must find mechanisms to reuse
the available annotations or the models learned from them and generalize to new
domains and tasks.
Accordingly, TASK-CV aims to bring together research in transfer learning and domain
adaptation for computer vision and invites the submission of research contributions
on the following topics:
■ TL/DA focusing on specific computer vision tasks (e.g., image classification,
object detection, semantic segmentation, recognition, retrieval, tracking, etc.)
and applications (biomedical, robotics, multimedia, autonomous driving, etc.)
■ TL/DA focusing on specific visual features, models or learning algorithms for
challenging paradigms like unsupervised, reinforcement, or online learning
■ TL/DA in the era of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), adaptation effects
of fine-tuning, regularization techniques, transfer of architectures and weights, etc.
■ Comparative studies of different TL/DA methods and transferring part representations
between categories and 2D/3D modalities
■ Working frameworks with appropriate CV-oriented datasets and evaluation
protocols to assess TL/DA
This is not a closed list; thus, we welcome other related research for TASK-CV.
VisDA Challenge
The VisDA challenge aims to test domain adaptation methods’ ability to transfer
source knowledge and adapt it to novel target domains.
