Transferring and Adapting Source Knowledge in Computer Vision and VisDA Challenge
In conjunction with ECCV 2020
TASKCV-2020
This is the 7th annual workshop that brings together computer vision researchers interested in domain adaptation and knowledge transfer techniques. Given the last year success, we will keep the Domain Adaptation Challenge.
A key ingredient of the recent successes of computer vision methods is the availability of large sets of annotated data. However, collecting them is prohibitive in many real applications and it is natural to search for alternative source of knowledge that needs to be transferred or adapted to provide sufficient learning support. Our workshop aims to bring together researchers in various sub-areas of Transfer Learning (TL) and Domain Adaptation (DA) for computer vision. Moreover, for this year we propose a new edition of the VisDA challenge that will focus on domain adaptive instance retrieval, where the source and target samples will be drawn from synthetic and real image domains of pedestrians and vehicles.
Session 1: Sunday 23 August - 10:00 - 12:00 UTC+1 Session 2: Sunday 23 August - 20:00 - 22:00 UTC+1
Topics
Accordingly, TASK-CV aims to bring together research in transfer learning and domain adaptation for computer vision and invites the submission of research contributions on the following topics:
TL/DA learning methods for challenging paradigms like unsupervised, incremental, open set, universal, online and federated learning.
TL/DA CNN architectures with new adaptation techniques, fine-tuning strategies, regularization approaches, weights transfer solutions etc.
TL/DA focusing on specific computer vision tasks (e.g., image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, retrieval, tracking, etc.) and applications (biomedical, robotics, multimedia, autonomous driving, etc.).
TL/DA methods working at feature and pixel (generative) level as well as jointly applied with other learning paradigms such as reinforcement learning.
DA in case of sensor differences (e.g., low-vs-high resolution, power spectrum sensitivity, different RGB/Depth modalities) and compression schemes.
Datasets and protocols for evaluating TL/DA methods.
Going beyond TL/DA towards domain generalization.
Multi-Task, Zero- One- and Few-Shot Learning.
This is not a closed list; thus, we welcome other interesting and relevant research for TASK-CV.
