[visionlist] MODVIS 2020 second call for papers

[Mulligan, Jeffrey B. (ARC-TH)]

The ninth annual workshop on Computational and Mathematical Models in Vision (MODVIS), will be held May 13-15, 2020, at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, USA, immediately preceding the annual meeting of the Vision Sciences Society (VSS).  The program consists of contributed oral presentations, which are longer in length than a standard VSS talk, allowing presenters to present more technical details concerning their models.  The 2020 workshop will also feature a keynote lecture by George Sperling (U.C. Irvine), entitled “The complex brain analyses of visual motion,” and a tutorial on visual applications of information theory presented by David H. Foster (U. Manchester).  More information can be found on the workshop web site<https://www.purdue.edu/conferences/events/modvis/>.

As the “workshop” title implies, we welcome presentations of work-in-progress.  We aim to provide a venue for interactive discussion of technical issues in a relatively small, informal setting.  We particularly want to encourage junior scientists, students and post-docs to consider participating in MODVIS. Prior experience in modeling is not a prerequisite, and questions are encouraged during the presentations when clarification is needed.  MODVIS is a single-track conference with a small crowd, providing many opportunities for in-depth discussions.

MODVIS submissions consist of a 1-page PDF extended abstract that can include equations, figures and images in addition to text.  The submission site is now open; follow the ‘Abstract Submission’ link from the workshop web site at https://www.purdue.edu/conferences/events/modvis/  (past visitors should note that the site has moved).  The submission deadline is March 1st, 2020.  Post-deadline submissions will be considered only if slots are available.

Hope to see you there – Happy modelling!
