Workshop Overview

The CVPR 2026 Workshop on Exploring the Next Generation of Data is to gather researchers and engineers across academia and industry to discuss the latest in data-centric methods. Now in its 2nd year, the workshop has been expanded to cover not only standalone data-centric topics (such as data mixture, scaling, selection, mining, generation, causal discovery) but also automatic data loops that can systematically and realistically improve models by combining these data-centric methods. In this half-day workshop, our keynote speakers will provide insights into the ongoing uses of data-centric methods in commercialization, as well as progress in related fundamental research areas. As data-centric approaches tend to be opaque, especially in industry, we will also host a moderated open discussion to shed light on this topic.
