are happy to invite you to join the first ‘Commands for Autonomous Vehicles Workshop’ (C4AV). The topic of the workshop is multi-modal learning - language and vision - in a practical setting. Participants are invited to share their work as a poster or oral
presentation during the workshop (see call for papers - </span><a href="https://c4av-2020.github.io/" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">https://c4av-2020.github.io/</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">). </span></p>

language command that expresses an action that needs to be taken by an autonomous vehicle, participants need to develop a model that identifies the referred object in the scene. The challenge is based on the Talk2Car dataset (EMNLP 2019), which extends the
nuScenes dataset for autonomous driving with a visual grounding task. Top performing teams can win prizes and will be invited to present their work at the C4AV workshop at ECCV2020. </span></p>
