7th Instance-Level Recognition and Generation Workshop Call for Papers

Call for Papers - ILR+G@ICCV2025

7th Instance-Level Recognition and Generation Workshop
International Conference on Computer Vision, ICCV 2025
Honolulu, Hawaii, October 19-20 2025
https://ilr-workshop.github.io/ICCVW2025/

The Instance-Level Recognition and Generation (ILR+G) Workshop aims to
explore computer vision tasks focusing on specific instances rather
than broad categories, covering both recognition (instance-level
recognition - ILR) and generation (instance-level generation -
ILG). Unlike category-level recognition, which assigns broad class
labels based on semantics (e.g., “a painting”), ILR focuses on
distinguishing specific instances, assigning class labels that refer
to particular objects or events (e.g., “Blue Poles” by Jackson
Pollock), enabling recognition, retrieval, and tracking at the finest
granularity. This year, the workshop also covers ILG, also known as
personalized generation, which involves synthesizing new media that
preserve the visual identity of a particular instance while varying
context or appearance, often guided by text.  We encourage the
exploration of synergies between ILR and ILG, such as using
recognition as a foundation for instance-conditioned generation, or
leveraging generative models to boost ILR in low-data or open-set
scenarios.

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

    instance-level object classification, detection, segmentation, and pose estimation
    particular object (instance-level) and event retrieval
    personalized (instance-level) image and video generation
    cross-modal/multi-modal recognition at instance-level
    other ILR tasks such as image matching, place recognition, video tracking, moment retrieval
    other ILR+G applications or challenges
    ILR+G datasets and benchmarking


Submission details
We call for novel and unpublished work in the format of long papers
(up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages). Papers should follow
the ICCV proceedings style and will be reviewed in a double-blind
fashion. Submissions may be made to either of two tracks: (1)
in-proceedings papers -- long papers that will be published in the
conference proceedings, and (2) out-of-proceedings papers -- long or
short papers that will not be included in the proceedings. Note that
according to the ICCV guidelines, papers longer than four pages are
considered published, even if they do not appear in the
proceedings. Selected long papers from both tracks will be invited for
oral presentations; all accepted papers will be presented as posters.
