CALL FOR PAPERS
This is the 6th annual workshop that brings together computer vision
researchers interested in domain adaptation and knowledge transfer
techniques.

A key ingredient of the recent successes in computer vision has been
the availability of visual data with annotations, both for training
and testing, and well-established protocols for evaluating the
results. However, this traditional supervised learning framework is
limited when it comes to deployment on new tasks and/or operating in
new domains. In order to scale to such situations, we must find
mechanisms to reuse the available annotations or the models learned
from them.


******************************
TOPICS
TASK-CV aims to bring together research in transfer learning (TL),
domain generalization (DG) and domain adaptation (DG) for computer
vision and invites the submission of research contributions on the
following topics:

- TL/DA/DG learning methods for challenging paradigms like
unsupervised, self-supervised, incremental, and online learning;

- TL/DA/DG focusing on specific visual features, models or learning
algorithms;

- TL/DA/DG applied for procedural learning (e.g. state-action pairs,
reinforcement learning);

- TL/DA/DG in the era of convolutional neural networks (CNNs),
adaptation effects of fine-tuning, regularization techniques, transfer
of architectures and weights, etc;

- TL/DA/DG focusing on specific computer vision tasks (e.g., image
classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, recognition,
retrieval, tracking, etc.) and applications (biomedical, robotics,
multimedia, autonomous driving, etc.);

- Comparative studies of different TL/DA/DG methods;

- Working frameworks with appropriate datasets and evaluation
protocols to assess TL/DA/DG methods;

- Transferring part representations between categories;

- Transferring tasks to new domains;

- Solving domain shift due to sensor differences (e.g., low-vs-high
resolution, power spectrum sensitivity) and compression schemes;

- Extensions of few- and zero-shot learning approaches across domains.

This is not a closed list; thus, we welcome other interesting and
relevant research for TASK-CV.
