Federated Learning for Computer Vision (FedVision) Call for Papers

 CALL FOR PAPERS  & CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

CVPR 2022 Workshop: Federated Learning for Computer Vision (FedVision)
(In conjunction with CVPR 2022, June 19, New Orleans, US)

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/fedvision
Contact: Dr. Chen Chen (chen.chen@crcv.ucf.edu)

Federated Learning (FL) has become an important privacy-preserving
paradigm in various machine learning tasks. However, the potential of
FL in computer vision applications, such as face recognition, person
re-identification, and action recognition, is far from being fully
exploited. Moreover, FL has rarely been demonstrated effectively in
advanced computer vision tasks such as object detection and image
segmentation, compared to the traditional centralized training
paradigm. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners with common interests in FL for computer vision and
studying the different synergistic relations in this interdisciplinary
area. The day-long event will facilitate interaction among students,
scholars, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss
future research challenges and opportunities.
