1^st Multimodal Learning and Applications Workshop

1^st Multimodal Learning and Applications Workshop (MULA 2018)

The exploitation of the power of big data in the last few years led to a big step forward in many applications of Computer Vision. However, most of the tasks tackled so far are involving mainly visual modality due to the unbalanced number of labelled samples available among modalities (e.g., there are many huge labelled datasets for images while not as many for audio or IMU based classification), resulting in a huge gap in performance when algorithms are trained separately.

This workshop aims to bring together communities of machine learning and multimodal data fusion. We expect contributions involving video, audio, depth, IR, IMU, laser, text, drawings, synthetic, etc. Position papers with feasibility studies and cross-modality issues with highly applicative flair are also encouraged therefore we expect a positive response from academic and industrial communities.

This is an open call for papers, soliciting original contributions considering recent findings in theory, methodologies, and applications in the field of multimodal machine learning. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Multimodal learning
• Cross-modal learning
• Self-supervised learning for multimodal data
• Multimodal data generation and sensors
• Unsupervised learning on multimodal data
• Cross-modal adaptation
• Multimodal data fusion
• Multimodal transfer learning
• Multimodal applications (e.g. drone vision, autonomous driving, industrial inspection, etc.)
