IEEE conference for the European Network on Integrating Vision and Language (IVL2018)

The IEEE conference for the European Network on Integrating Vision and Language (iV&L Net) COST Action (IC1307) focuses on the applications of integration of vision and language processing, advances in machine learning and human-computer interaction targeted at integrated models of vision and language. Both theoretical and practical contributions in the field of lingu-visual processing and affective computing are welcome. The central goal of iV&L Net is to build a European CV/NLP research community, targeting 4 focus themes: (i) Integrated Modelling of Vision and Language for CV and NLP Tasks; (ii) Applications of Integrated Models; (iii) Automatic Generation of Image & Video Descriptions; and (iv) Semantic Image & Video Search. iV&L Net will organise annual conferences, technical meetings, partner visits, data/task benchmarking, and industry/end-user liaison. Europe has many of the world’s leading CV and NLP researchers.

Scope of Conference - Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

• Integration of vision and language processing
• Image captioning
• Visual question answering
• Image generation from text
• Multimodal machine translation
• Multimodal representation learning
• Multimodal acquisition of commonsense knowledge
• Human language grounding and understanding
• Multimodal data processing
• Emotion recognition using visual and lingual modalities
• Personality analysis using visual and lingual modalities
• Information retrieval for images/videos based on text queries
• Multimodal analysis of human behaviour in affective computing
• Human-computer interaction targeted at integrated models of V&L
