The Edge Conference Centre, The Endcliffe Village, University of  
Sheffield


For Programme see http://www.vlnet.org.uk/VL-Workshop-2012.html


Submission of Abstracts:
-----------------------------------

The Vision & Language Workshop organisers invite the submission of  
abstracts addressing any aspect of research that involves both vision  
and language.

We encourage a wide range of different types of abstracts/posters,  
including but not limited to the following:

* Presentations of existing projects and research programmes
* Outlines of project ideas, in particular from those seeking  
collaborators
* Reports of research in progress
* Reports of research results
* System demos

Specific research topics include, but are by no means limited to:

* Image and video labelling and annotation
* Image and video description
* Computational modelling of human vision and language
* Image and video retrieval
* Multimodal human-computer communication
* Text-to-image generation
* Language-driven animation
* Facial animation for speech
* Assistive methodologies

Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop in the form of  
brief 'teaser' presentations, followed by a poster presentation during  
the workshop poster session.

In addition, the V&L Net Steering Committee will select six papers to  
be presented as 15 minute oral presentations.  These will be papers  
that would particularly benefit from oral presentation.  It is  
expected that these will be mainly on existing research, but the  
research does not necessarily have to be completed.  Authors of papers  
selected for oral presentation will still have the option of  
additionally presenting their work in poster form.


Submission Guidelines:
-----------------------------------

Submitted abstracts should be 1-2 pages in length. PDF format is  
strongly preferred. Please send abstracts no later than 23 November  
2012 to vl-net at brighton.ac.uk.


Fees:
-----------------------------------

V&L Net will cover the cost of workshop fees, one night's  
accommodation at Sheffield University and UK standard class travel for  
all presenters of papers who are also full members of V&L Net (seehttp://www.vlnet.org.uk 
  for membership details).

For full members who are not presenting workshop V&L Net will cover  
the cost of workshop fees (only).  For all other delegates, workshop  
fees are £60 for 2 days (£30 for 1 day).
