Neural Architects: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Going?
The Neural Architects Workshop gathers experts and researchers in the field of deep neural network (DNN) design to share their insights and experiences working in this domain.

The biennial International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2019) will be held in Seoul, South Korea from October 27 to November 2. The ICCV is one of the top international conferences in the field of computer vision. Its workshops are followed closely by the global AI community, with the "Neural Architects Workshop" of particular interest.
The Neural Architects Workshop gathers experts and researchers in the field of deep neural network (DNN) design to share their insights and experiences working in this domain. The scholars are also expected to discuss problems in existing DNN models and promising research directions to promote the performance of technologies and systems in industrial application scenarios.
Feature extraction and representation is a fundamental task in computer vision research. In recent years, deep neural networks have significantly influenced this research field through their empirically superior performance, achieving great progress in both basic visual processing tasks (such as image classification, object detection and scene segmentation tasks) and higher-level semantic understanding tasks (such as environment perception and video understanding). With the introduction of a series of task-oriented modules and network architectures — including both manually designed structures and those obtained through automated searching methods — neural networks have become an increasingly powerful and important tool for academia and industry alike.
The objective of the Neural Architects Workshop is to share knowledge of these techniques amongst the community and to attract further research in the the design and optimization of neural network architectures to promote the development of AI technologies.
The workshop is jointly launched by the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford and Chinese automobility startup Momenta, and will take place on October 28. Leading researchers with expertise in DNN design will communicate their experience and views through a series of invited talks and a roundtable discussion:
Alan Yuille, a pioneer of the field of computer vision
Ross Girshick, winner of the Marr prize
Shaoqing Ren, author of Faster RCNN and ResNet
The workshop is inviting paper submissions. The most distinguished work will appear in the oral presentation section, and other selected articles will be presented as posters, providing the attendees the opportunity to communicate with the authors. In addition to long articles, short papers related to published or ongoing research projects are also encouraged.
Papers can be related to (but are not limited to) the following topics:
Theoretical or empirical understanding of DNN architectures
Vision-oriented network design
Automatic search and design of DNN architectures
Bold innovations related to DNNs
Studies of existing basic modules or units
The relationship between optimization and DNN architectures
Retrospective analysis of prior architectures in computer vision
