Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW 2020)

May 18-22 , 2020 Buenos Aire, Argentina

Scope & Topics

The Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW 2020) In addition to the three organized task evaluations, we will also add this piece to RFIW2020 (i.e., papers that use FIW in novel ways). The main reason we added this is to ignite the creativity of the community outside the controlled experiments of the task evaluations– we found the assessments to be great for structuring existing problems such that us researchers and practitioners can make fair comparisons of algorithms; however, this limits the scope of the problems of automatic kinship recognition. From this, we expect the light to shed on one or more of the following ways

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• To advance the state-of-the-art for kinship-based task, like kinship verification and family classification.
• To benchmark new tasks for FIW, like fine-grain classification, large-scale search, and retrieval, tri-subject verification.
• To propose generative models for family photos, relative faces, photo albums, such.
• To explore and understand multimodal uses of text captions accompanying the family photos of FIW.
• To pitch cluster, multi-view, and various types of problems.
• To treat kinship as a soft attribute for higher-level tasks (e.g., facial recognition, group understanding, social media analysis).

Paper Submission

All submissions (i.e., challenge papers, general paper submissions, and Brave New Ideas) will be peer-reviewed for publication as part of RFIW2020 in the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (2020 AMFG ) proceedings. Also, authors will be expected to join workshop during 2020 AMFG conference on 18-22 May in Buenos Aire, Argentina.
