Proposed Special Sessions [more to be added]:

SS1: Acceleration for Deep Learning Models
SS2: Artificial Intelligence, Sensing Technology, and Soft Computing
SS3: Deep Learning for Pattern Recognition
SS4: Bioimage Informatics in Life Science
SS5: Sensing, Computing and Actuating for Smart Urban Environments
SS6: BANGLA & AI: Methods, Applications and Challenges

SS1: Acceleration for Deep Learning Models

Outline: Implementation of deep learning models are computationally expensive and memory extensive. Deployment in low memory devices with slower GPU, and for applications that required strict latency is the current challenge.

SS3: Deep Learning for Pattern Recognition

Outline: Pattern recognition involves the automated identification and recognition of pattern and the detection of pattern irregularities. Deep learning is the current state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm that attempt to learn in multiple layers corresponding to different levels of abstraction to solve pattern recognition problems. The advantages of deep learning models are the capabilities to process large amount of data with very high accuracy.

SS4: Bioimage Informatics in Life Science

Outline: This session will mainly focus on recent development of computational techniques to analyze biological images and model biological systems. We also welcome papers related to computational analysis of medical image data.

SS5: Sensing and Computing for Well-being, Health, and Entertainment in Smart Urban Environments

Outline: Sensors and actuators are leaving lab environments and enter the domestic, office, shopping, public, recreational and urban environments. These environments track human behavior, adapt to human behavior, or persuade or enforce humans to adapt their behavior to particular requirements of the environment. In urban environments, sensors and actuators can be designed to make such environments more efficient and manageable. Smart cities aim at using digital smartness to improve waste management, reduce energy consumption, increase safety, control traffic, and improve public transport et cetera. Drones, delivery robots, and self-driving cars will complete the future urban landscape. Digital smartness obtained by sensors and actuators can also help to make the urban landscape more sustainable and healthy. The well-being of citizens can be promoted by making participation in city life more social and attractive by introducing digitally enhanced applications that aim at enhancing safe, social, and healthy circumstances and behavior for children, adults, and the elderly.
Digital technology should address issues such as placemaking for social interaction, the creation of child-friendly environments, free and safe movement around the neighborhood, outdoor activities, public and interactive art projects, and independent travel and unsupervised play for children.
Unobtrusive technology such as computer vision and presence and proximity sensors embedded in the urban environment makes it possible to track and interpret human behavior and to create interactive informing, persuasive and social and playful activity promoting media that display affordances and allow implicit and explicit multimodal interaction.
In this special session, we ask for papers that address these issues. Papers can discuss scientific, engineering, societal, and ethical issues related to applications made possible by introducing sensors, actuators, and computer processing in urban environments.

SS6: BANGLA & AI: Methods, Applications and Challenges

Outline: Various AI-based methods and applications related to Bangla language will be motto of this special session. Bangla Language Processing (BLP), Bangla Sign Language, Bangle News Extraction, Speech analysis, Bangla licence plate recognition, etc. are the core issues to deal in this session. Authors are invited to submit datasets, methods, comparative analysis, rigorous surveys along with the comparative analysis of other languages.
Based on the quality of the papers, a book on Springer may be considered where the extended papers will be considered as book chapters.

SS7: Applied AI for Smart Manufacturing & Industry 4.0

Outline: This session is focused on applied artificial intelligence (AI), multimedia data analytics, and multimedia sensor network applications to: factory of the future (FoF), Industry 4.0, lean manufacturing, intelligent fault diagnosis & prognosis for the realization of vertical and general smart industries. We also invite papers relating to multimedia and cyber-physical systems (CPS) applications to smart manufacturing and intelligent industrial uses and applications. Implementation details of successful industrial usage of the aforementioned technologies and applications are encouraged. Innovative ideas relating to future uses and applications of mentioned technologies are also welcomed.

Call for Mini-Workshop (W) / Special Session (SS) / Tutorial Session (TS) Proposals

We welcome you to organize Mini-Workshop / Special Session / Tutorial Session!

The aim of a W/SS/TS is to provide a complementary flavor to the regular sessions and should include hot topics of interest to the conference topics that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at the conference.

Proposal Submission:
Prospective organizers of W/SS/TS should submit proposals with the info below:
  • Title of the W/SS/TS:
  • Objective of the W/SS/TS: Define & explain - how the W/SS/TS will be different/related from the subjects covered by the regular sessions.
  • Name of the W/SS/TS organizers and short profiles of them.
  • Information on possible papers, presenters and apart from papers to be presented, mention whether you will invite any speaker for the W/SS/TS. [Minimum number of papers for a SS: 4 accepted papers at least and no compromise on quality!]
  • Mini-Workshop length: Half-day workshop may be allowed.


W/SS/TS's evaluation criteria:
  • Interest on the topic
  • Evaluation on the organizers [& panel of experts reviewers for W/OS]
  • Plan of the W/SS/TS
All papers presented in the W/SS will be included in the Conference Proceedings. Therefore, all papers must submit according to the instructions of the conference.
