ICPR 2024 Call for Competitions
https://icpr2024.org/for-Competition.html
%---------------------------------
The ICPR 2024 Organizing Committee invites proposals for competitions that aim at evaluating the performance of algorithms and methods related to pattern recognition.
You are cordially invited to submit a proposal, that should contain the following information:
1- Contest title and abstract
2- A brief description of the competition, including what the particular task under evaluation is, why this competition is of interest to the ICPR community, and the expected number of participants
3- An outline of the competition schedule
4- Description of the dataset to be used, and the evaluation process and metrics for submitted methods
5- The names, contact information, and brief CVs of the competition organizers, outlining previous experience in performance evaluation and/or organizing competitions
The following rules shall apply to the accepted Competitions:
1- The name of competition must be standardized by starting with “ICPR 2024” e.g. “ICPR 2024 Competition on …” or “ICPR 2024 … Competition.”
2- Datasets used in the competitions must be made available after the end of the competitions. Specifically, the training data and ground truth must be publicly released and there must be a way to evaluate performance on a test set. This could take the form of an evaluation server, or the test data, ground truth, and evaluation script could be made publicly available.
3- Evaluation methodologies and metrics used must be described in detail so that results can be replicated later. Evaluation scripts must be released afterwards.
4- Each competition has to be presented with a poster at a prominent place at the conference venue, and some good competitions may be selected for oral presentation during ICPR 2024.
5- Competitions must have a sufficient number of participants (greater or equal to 3) to be able to draw meaningful conclusions.
6- Reports (full papers) on each competition will be reviewed and, if accepted (the competition ran according to plan, attracted a minimum level of participation and is appropriately described), will be published in the ICPR 2024 conference proceedings.
7- Participants should not have access to the ground-truth test dataset until the end of the competition. The evaluation should be done by the organizers.
