About VBSD 2022
With the increasing appetite for data in data-driven methods, the issues of biased and scarce data have become a major bottleneck in developing generalizable and scalable computer vision solutions, as well as effective deployment of these solutions in real-world scenarios. To tackle these challenges, researchers from both academia and industry must collaborate and make progress in fundamental research and applied technologies. The organizing committee and keynote speakers of VBSD 2022 consist of experts from both academia and industry with rich experiences in designing and developing robust computer vision algorithms and tranferring them to real-world solutions. VBSD 2022 provides a focused venue to discuss and disseminate research related to bias and scarcity topics in computer vision.

Camera ready deadline: August 15, 2022 (8:59PM CET, 11:59AM PST)
We invite the submission of original and high-quality research papers in the topics related to biased or scarce data. Accepted work will be presented as either an oral, spotlight, or poster presentation.
Topics
The topics for VBSD 2022 include, but are not limited to:
- Algorithms and theories for explainable and interpretable computer vision models
- Application-specific designs for explainable computer vision, e.g., healthcare, autonomous driving, etc.
- Algorithms and theories for learning computer vision models under bias and scarcity.
- Performance characterization of computer vision algorithms and systems under bias and scarcity
- Algorithms for secure and privacy-aware machine learning for computer vision
- Algorithms and theories for trustworthy computer vision models
- The role of adjacent fields of study (e.g, computational social science) in mitigating issues of bias and trust in computer vision
- Continuous refinement of computer vision models using active/online learning
- Meta-learning models from various existing task-specific computer vision models
- Brave new ideas to learn computer vision models under bias and scarcity
