CVPR 2018 Tutorials Call for Proposals

Tutorial Chairs: M. Pawan Kumar and Andrea Vedaldi
Proposal Deadline: November 20, 2017 [11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time]
Notification by: December 10, 2017

We solicit proposals for short courses and tutorials to be held at the 2018 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2018). Courses and tutorials will take place on June 18 and June 22, the days before and after the main conference. CVPR 2018 is also considering having a small number of tutorials to be offered in parallel with the main program.

A CVPR short course or tutorial should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topic related to computer vision. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant interest from the CVPR community. Typical tutorial audiences consist of graduate students studying computer vision, but also include researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. We invite proposals for both half-day and full-day courses, but anticipate that most courses will be half-day unless the topic is expected to attract widespread community attention or will require the additional time.


For more information about typical CVPR tutorials and short courses, we encourage potential proposers to consult tutorial sites from recent years:
