3rd Workshop on Closing the Loop Between Vision and Language, October 28th, in conjunction with ICCV 2019 in Seoul, Korea

The scope of this workshop lies in the boundary of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. In recent years, there have been increasing interest in the intersection between Computer Vision and NLP. Researchers have studied a multitude of tasks, including generating textual descriptions from images and video, learning language embeddings of images and predicting visual classifiers from unstructured text. Recent work has extended the scope of this area to visual question answering, visual dialog, referring expression comprehension, vision-and-language navigation, embodied question answering and beyond.

In this workshop, we aim to provide a full day focused on these exciting research areas, helping to bolster the communication and share knowledge across tasks and approaches in this area, and provide a space to discuss the future and impact of Vision and Language technology. The workshop will also feature a new edition of the Large Scale Movie Description Challenge (details here), and the first VATEX challenge for Multilingual Video Captioning (details here).

"The Bitter Lesson"
The biggest lesson that can be read from 70 years of AI research is that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin.
In computer chess, the methods that defeated the world champion, Kasparov, in 1997, were based on massive, deep search (…) A similar pattern of research progress was seen in computer Go, only delayed by a further 20 years.
One thing that should be learned from the bitter lesson is the great power of general purpose methods, of methods that continue to scale with increased computation, even as the available computation becomes very great. The two methods that seem to scale arbitrarily in this way are search and learning.
