The Second MetaFood Workshop Call for Papers
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for
"The Second MetaFood Workshop" at CVPR 2025.
============================
The MetaFood Workshop is a premier venue for research that addresses
the pressing challenges of applying state-of-the-art computer vision
algorithms to food-related data. While modern computer vision models
excel on well-curated datasets, they struggle when confronted with
food data in natural, uncontrolled environments—often called "data
in the wild". This difficulty arises from the inherent complexities of
food imagery, such as noisy, watermarked, and low-resolution data
commonly found online.
The MetaFood Workshop aims to bridge this gap by showcasing
groundbreaking research and fostering discussions on innovative
methods for analyzing and digitizing food data. We invite the computer
vision community to tackle these challenges and contribute solutions
that can drive forward the fields of food computing and AI-driven food
analysis.
Our program will feature technical paper presentations and invited
talks from leading experts.
============================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Multi-modal food data analysis covering images, video, audio, structured and/or unstructured text data
Reasoning, in-context learning, and retrieval-augmented generation with Large-Language Models (LLMs)/ Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for food
Food ontologies and LLM-based models for food data analysis
Visual question answering with VLMs for food
Food data analysis and uncertainty modeling
Learning with noisy food labels
Continual, self-supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning for food
Food classification/detection/segmentation with 2D/3D bias
Food 3D model reconstruction, Novel View Synthesis for food objects
Food portion/nutrition value estimation
Food manipulation understanding, robotic perception systems for food manipulation
Food image quality analysis/inspection
Food image/video generation and Generative AI
Food video analysis and action (eating, cooking, etc.) recognition
Fine-grained dietary monitoring and nutrition assessment
We welcome original research that presents novel applications,
innovative algorithms, or critical analyses addressing these
challenges. Submissions focusing exclusively on algorithm development
without application to food data are better suited for the main CVPR
conference.
Join us at the MetaFood Workshop to explore how computer vision can
revolutionize food understanding and contribute to solving real-world
challenges in food computing.
