One Day Meeting: BMVA Symposium on Vision and Language

Wednesday 17 January 2024

Chairs: Michael Wray (University of Bristol), Davide Moltisanti (University of Bath), and Tengda Han (University of Oxford).

Invited Speakers

• Yuki M. Asano (University of Amsterdam)
• Frank Keller (University of Edinburgh)
• Hilde Kuehne (University of Bonn/MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab)

Call for Presentations

We invite presentations from both academia and industry, bringing together researchers interested in all aspects of vision-language models and their potential future applications.

Presentations can be either published work or ongoing research. The aim is to spotlight recent work, receive feedback and spur discussion. We expect presentations to cover one or more of the following areas (but this is a non-exhaustive list):

• What’s next for Vision-Language Models?
• Generative models (both text and vision generation)
• Retrieval and Search Based-Tasks
• Visual Question Answering
• Foundation Models
• Is Large-Scale Pre-training Required?
• Evaluating Generative Vision-Language Models
• Vision Language Benchmarks and Datasets
• Adversarial Attacks
• Security and Wellbeing

Presentations will take the form of one of three types: poster, talk, demo. When applying for a presentation, you are welcome to choose any combination of the options. You can apply to give a presentation using the form below. Note that this will NOT be a hybrid event, therefore we expect presenters to attend the event in person.

The deadline for submitting a presentation is the 27th November 2023.

Meeting Location

The meeting will take place at:
