Why to attend?
Creative fields deeply influence society, driving economic and cultural developments through art, design, museum exhibitions, photography, and films, centered on visual content’s creation, use, and analysis. The rise of machine learning and computer vision has sparked significant research to advance these areas. AI4VA workshop aims to highlight cutting-edge trends and ideas at the intersection of computer vision and creativity. It will bring together artists, filmmakers, ethics advocates, and computer vision researchers, promoting vibrant idea exchanges.
The workshop focuses on three main objectives:
Innovative Intersection of Arts and AI: This workshop showcases the latest in computer vision and creativity, featuring art manipulation competitions (See challenges) and deep learning demonstrations with a focus on ethical art to revolutionise creative processes.
Comprehensive Coverage of Creative Technologies: Topics include generative models for photorealistic imagery, style transfer, understanding multilingual text in art, vision-language models for narrative understanding, neural networks for content enhancement and novel view synthesis, and robust dataset development across diverse artistic domains such as virtual reality and game design.
Diverse Participation and Accessibility: Designed for a broad audience including artists, designers, ethics advocates, and AI professionals, the workshop aims to draw creators and researchers at all levels to attend and will offer online streaming to maximise engagement and inclusivity.
For papers accepted to the ECCV proceedings
September 18, 2024 (AoE) is the Camera-ready deadline. The ECCV Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer, in the LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series. They will send the author a personalised link to upload the paper.
