Challenge submission deadline: October 13th September 15th
Exception: LSMDC 2017 Movie Description submission deadline: October 1st
The workshop organizers have composed two challenges [The Large Scale Movie Description and Understanding Challenge (LSMDC) and MovieQA] based on movies and associated data sources and will run the following tasks:
We require a short report detailing your method (1 paragraph minimum). We encourage you to write up your method as a paper submission (details below) but this is not required.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on diverse topics in the area of multimodal video, story, and language understanding, in order to obtain a better view of existing challenges and new research directions. Possible solution pathways include learning from natural language descriptions, transfer learning, reasoning across long video sequences, understanding plots, recognizing characters, taking audio and speech into account, and in general, developing better models and algorithms for understanding video and multimodal data.
We aim to have a forum around the topic of the challenges, and invite exiting submissions on topics which include but are not limited to:
We welcome submissions of novel work or work which has been accepted recently elsewhere (e.g. ICCV).
Submissions should be 4-8 pages plus references. Please, send your work to lsmdc2015+17 at gmail.com
Accepted papers will be presented as posters; some may be selected for spotlight or oral presentations.
The challenge winners will be asked to present their work as both oral presentation and poster. Authors may request to have only title and authors’ names published on the workshop page (default is to make submitted papers public).
