Support for Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision

该项目为参加语言和视觉进步讲习班的与会者提供旅费。在过去的几年里，语言和计算机视觉领域分别发展了从文本和图像中提取语义内容的技术，并取得了很大的进展。每个领域都希望借鉴对方的方法，但往往着眼于过去的文学作品，而不是当前的艺术状态。这次研讨会汇聚了这两个领域的顶尖研究人员，在多模式表示和方法方面取得了重大的科学进步。组织良好的集思广益和讨论会议为这一新兴领域贡献了新的想法。研讨会的成果为这一跨学科领域的有针对性的研究提供了一些指导方针，包括预期的基础科学进展、可能出现的大规模挑战问题、现有数据集的需求和前景、与重大应用的联系及其相关的长期经济影响和其他社会效益。

This project supports travel expenses for participants at the workshop on advances in language and vision. In the past few years, great progress has been made in the fields of language and computer vision in developing technologies of extracting semantic content from text and imagery respectively. Each field has desires to adapt methods from the other, but often looking to the past literature rather than the current state of the art. This workshop makes significant scientific progress in multimodal representations and methods by bringing together the top researchers in both fields. The well organized brainstorming and discussion sessions contribute new ideas to this emerging area. The outcome of the workshop provides some guidelines for targeted research in this interdisciplinary area, including anticipated fundamental scientific advances, possible large-scale challenge problems, the needs and prospects for available datasets, and connections to significant applications and their associated long-term economic impact and other societal benefits.
