ICPR 2014 – Call for Contest, Tutorial and Workshop Proposals
The ICPR 2014 Organizing Committee invites proposals for contests, tutorials and workshops in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (www.icpr2014.org). These events will be held on August 24, 2014, immediately before the main conference.
Contests
The aim of contests and challenges is to advance algorithm and method development by objective evaluation on common data sets. The contest organizer is responsible for providing good quality data and defining objective evaluation criteria that are applied to the results of submitted algorithms.
Tutorials
We seek tutorials on core techniques, application areas and emerging research topics that are of interest within the ICPR community. A good tutorial should provide a broad introduction to the chosen research area as well as in-depth coverage on selected advanced topics. Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’ own work or commercial presentations are not eligible.
Workshops
Workshops provide an informal setting for discussing specific topics in depth. Good workshops encourage discussion and interaction between the participants. This can be achieved in a number of ways, e.g., through presentations of submitted work, panel discussions and hands-on sessions.
Guideline for submitting proposals
To propose a contest, tutorial or workshop, a PDF file containing the information outlined below must be sent to the ICPR 2014 Contest, Tutorial and Workshop Co-chairs by September 15th 2013.
The proposal should contain the following:
- Title and abstract
- Name and contact information of the main organizers and any committees involved.
- Brief discussion of the scope and target audience. Estimate the number of participants. Both smaller and larger events will be hosted.
- Tentative schedule. Indicate here if a half or full day event is planned.
- Overall organization. Depending on the event type, for example, review process and paper selection, submission deadlines, invited speakers, distribution of submitted contributions, description of data sets and evaluation procedures, coverage of any additional costs of the event, etc.
Proposal assessment
Each proposal will be assessed based on its scientific merit, proposed structure, overall relevance, and how it complements the main conference sgx nifty live. Notification of acceptance will be given no later than October 1st 2013.
ICPR 2014 will be responsible for:
- Providing a meeting venue with necessary technical equipment and catering services during the coffee breaks.
- Providing staff to help with the on-site organization.

rooms, technical equipment and staff, catering services and other
administrative costs. The cost will be the same for all contests, tutorials
