FGVC7: The Seventh Workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization\nJune 19th in conjunction with CVPR 2020, June, Seattle, USA.\nWebsite: https://sites.google.com/view/fgvc7\nTwitter: @fgvcworkshop\nThe purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers to explore visual recognition across the continuum between basic level categorization (object recognition) and identification of individuals (face recognition, biometrics) within a category population. Participants are encouraged to submit short papers relevant to the workshop and to take part in a set of competitions organized in conjunction with the workshop - details below.
\n\nFine-grained categorization (called `subordinate categorization’ in the psychology literature) lies in the continuum between basic-level categorization (object recognition) and the identification of individuals (e.g., face recognition, biometrics). The visual distinctions between similar categories are often quite subtle and therefore difficult to address with today’s general-purpose object recognition machinery. This is especially true for domains where data is not readily available on the web (e.g., medical images, or depth data), or domains for which training data is limited. It is likely that a radical re-thinking of the techniques used for representation learning, architecture design, human-in-the-loop learning, few-shot, and self-supervised learning that are currently used for visual recognition will be needed to improve fine-grained categorization.\nIt is our hope that the invited talks, including researchers from scientific application domains, will shed light on human expertise and human performance in subordinate categorization and on motivating research applications. More information about previous FGVC workshops and competitions can be found at http://www.fgvc.org/.
\n\nWe invite submission of 3 page (excluding references) extended abstracts (using the CVPR 2020 format) describing work in the domains suggested above or in closely-related areas. Accepted submissions will be presented as posters at the workshop. Reviewing of abstract submissions will be double-blind. The purpose of this workshop is not as a venue for publication, so much as a place to gather together those in the community working on or interested in FGVC. Submissions of work which has been previously published, including papers accepted to the main CVPR 2020 conference are allowed.\nFor more details see - https://sites.google.com/view/fgvc7/submission
