3rd International Ego4D Workshop @ CVPR 2023

Held in conjunction with 11th EPIC Workshop

For details about the Ego4D project and data, please refer to the dataset's webpage

Call for Extended Abstracts

You are invited to submit extended abstracts to the third edition of the International Workshop in Ego4D which will be held alongside CVPR 2023 in Vancouver.

These abstracts represent existing or ongoing work and will not be published as part of any proceedings. We welcome all works that focus within the Egocentric Domain, it is not necessary to use the Ego4D dataset within your work. We expect a submission may contain one or more of the following topics (this is a non-exhaustive list):

Format

The length of the extended abstracts is 2-4 pages, including figures, tables, and references. We invite submissions of ongoing or already published work, as well as reports on demonstrations and prototypes. The 3rd international Ego4D workshop gives opportunities for authors to present their work to the egocentric community to provoke discussion and feedback. Accepted work will be presented as either an oral presentation (either virtual or in-person) or as a poster presentation. The review will be single-blind, so there is no need to anonymize your work, but otherwise will follow the format of the CVPR submissions, information can be found here. Accepted abstracts will not be published as part of a proceedings, so can be uploaded to ArXiv etc. and the links will be provided on the workshop’s webpage. The submission will be managed with the Ego4D&EPIC@CVPR2023 CMT website. Use the Extended Abstract on CMT.
