The ICPR 2020 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition. These events will be held on January 10-11, 2021 immediately before the main conference.
We seek tutorials on core techniques, application areas and emerging research topics that are of interest within the ICPR community. A good tutorial should provide a broad introduction to the chosen research area as well as in-depth coverage on selected advanced topics. Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’ own work or commercial presentations are not eligible.
Guidelines for submitting proposals
To propose a tutorial a PDF file containing the information outlined below must be sent to the ICPR 2020 Tutorial Co-chairs (see at the end) by September 15, 2020 [11:59 p.m. Central European Std Time]
The proposal should contain the following:
- proposed title;
- names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches of the point of contact for the tutorial;
- names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches of person delivering the tutorial;
- preference for half- or full-day event (the latter requires a brief justification);
- course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline and important details; any innovative pedagogy employed; any hands-on participation, etc.;
- expected target audience, in terms of both composition and estimated number of attendees;
- list of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and/or products by the organizers, and to other relevant related work;
