How to attend our virtual workshop?

Our workshop is part of the conference on computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR). To attend our workshop and participate in discussions and submit questions, please register for CVPR at this link: http://cvpr2021.thecvf.com/node/47. This gives you access to the virtual platform used by our workshop. This registration also allows you to attend other workshops, tutorials, and poster presentations at CVPR.

We are additionally planning on streaming speaker talks to YouTube, so if you are just planning on watching, feel free to simply tune in! The link to the stream will be posted to this page, or sign up here to be emailed a link to the stream.


Overview

The behavior of intelligent agents is often shaped by their interactions with other agents in the environment. In multi-agent scenarios, complex interactions occur between agents, such that the behavior of an individual cannot be understood in isolation. Models of multi-agent behavior are of interest to researchers and scientists across disciplines spanning from ecology and neuroscience to sports analytics, video games, and autonomous vehicles. It is difficult to understand behavior in any of these contexts without understanding how agents sense or interact with other agents.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for exchanging perspectives on defining, interpreting, measuring, and modeling the behavior of multiple agents given predominantly visual data. A panel of speakers from a variety of disciplines will present their work, and discuss the key goals of multi-agent behavior research as it applies to their own field. By identifying common challenges and themes across fields, we aim to foster new cross-disciplinary approaches to the modeling and analysis of multi-agent behavior.
