2024 Tutorials should serve one or more of the following

<li>Introduce students and newcomers to major topics of Document
Analysis and Recognition (DAR) research.</li>
<li>Provide instructions on established practices and
methodologies.</li>
<li>Introduce expert non-specialists to a DAR subarea. Survey a
mature area of DAR research and/or practice.</li>
<li>Motivate and explain a DAR topic of emerging importance.</li>
<li>Overview DAR systems for industrial solutions (suggestion for
researchers in industry).</li>
<li>Introduce some recent innovative techniques for DAR research
and software quality, such as open-source libraries, high-level
API, technical frameworks for expert developments, etc.
(suggestion for expert programmers).</li>

ICDAR tutorial should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a
specific topic related to DAR. A good tutorial should be
educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The
topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract
significant interest from the ICDAR community. Typical tutorial
audiences consist of PhD students studying computer vision, image
processing or pattern recognition, but also include researchers
and practitioners from both academia and industry. In order to
facilitate innovative collaboration and interaction between
researchers in academia and industry, the Tutorial Chairs strongly
encourage proposals for industrial tutorials, in which researchers
in companies describe DAR systems and overview industrial
solutions to document analysis problems in real use-case
industrial scenarios.</p>

should be up to 4 pages in length, and should contain the
following information:</p>

<li>Title of the tutorial.</li>
<li>Scope and motivation. A brief description of the tutorial,
suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.</li>
<li>Preference for the duration (full day or half day). Due to
agenda constraints, half day tutorials are recommended. If a
full day is needed,provide a brief justification.</li>
<li>A detailed outline of the tutorial. Course description with
list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline.</li>
<li>Relevance for ICDAR. A description of why the tutorial topic
would be of interest to a substantial part of the ICDAR
audience.</li>
<li>Expected target audience in terms of composition and estimated
number of attendees. Prerequisite knowledge of the ICDAR
audience for attending the tutorial.</li>
<li>Short CV of organizers. A brief CV of the presenter(s),
including name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address,
web page, background in the tutorial area (projects, relevant
publications or tutorial-level articles on the subject),
evidence of teaching experience.</li>
<li>The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter.
The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail
correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case
clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the
proposal are needed.</li>

The evaluation of the proposal will take into account its general
interest for ICDAR attendees, the quality of the proposal (e.g., a
tutorial that simply lists a set of concepts without any apparent
rationale behind them will not be approved) as well as the
expertise and skills of the presenters. We emphasize that the
primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is
interesting, well-structured, and motivated in relation to
Document Analysis and Recognition, rather than the perceived
experience/standing of the proposer. Last but not least, the
tutorial should attract a meaningful audience, cover hot topics
and incorporate new knowledge to the community. Those submitting a
proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are intended to
provide an overview of the field; they should present reasonably
well established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should
not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should
they promote a product.</p>

Tutorial slides must be provided to us for inclusion on the
conference website and also on the TC-10 and TC-11 websites, as
educational material. The ICDAR main conference organizers will
handle the tutorial registration and provide the space, coffee
breaks and other facilities required to organize tutorials (e.g. a
room, a projector and a screen).</p>
