Call for Participation: ICCV 2019 Doctoral Consortium

Overview

The Doctoral Consortium provides a unique opportunity for students, who are close to finishing or who have recently finished their doctorate degree, to interact with experienced researchers in computer vision. A senior member of the community will be assigned as a mentor for each student based on the student's preference or similarity of research interests. All students and mentors will attend a Doctoral Consortium meeting/luncheon, giving the students an opportunity to discuss their ongoing research and career plans with their mentor. In addition, each student will present a poster, either describing their thesis research or a single recent paper, to the other participants and their mentors.

Eligibility

Students must be conducting research in computer vision and be within 6 months (before or after) of graduating with their doctoral degree. Applicants must not have attended a doctoral consortium previously (at ICCV, ECCV or CVPR).

Submission Guidelines

Students that meet the eligibility requirements should submit an application via CMT at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICCVDC2019. You must submit the following as a single pdf file.

  1. Your CV and list of publications.
  2. A two-page research statement summarizing your research and progress to date.
  3. One first-author paper which you are most proud of.
  4. The title and author list of the poster that you will present at the consortium, which may or may not be presented at ICCV as well.
  5. A signed note from your advisor confirming the date of graduation and stating her/his availability as a mentor.
  6. The first and last names and email addresses for 7 potential mentors, ranked from most to least preferred. Note that there is no mentor list provided; you simply have to identify researchers from industry or academia whose work is relevant to yours, or whose feedback you think would be particularly useful to you for a different reason. Do not list your own advisor as a mentor.
  7. Three specific questions you have for your mentor.

Please ensure that all pieces of information are included in the application. Incomplete applications will be rejected.

Review Process

If all applications cannot be supported, selection will be based on the above material and the student's graduation date. Institutional representation will be taken into account; it is unlikely that more than two students from the same institution will be invited.

Travel Awards

Selected students will receive travel reimbursements for part of their expenses. The amount is still to be determined. The awards will be in the form of a reimbursement check that you will receive after the conference and after you submit forms/receipts.

You need itemized receipts that show exactly what you paid for. Allowable expenses include:

  • Airfare (Note: Save your boarding passes and include them.)
  • Ground transportation (Note: If you want to drive your own car, you will be reimbursed for mileage at the federal rate; for cabs / ride-sharing apps, you need to get a receipt.)
  • Conference registration
  • Hotel or AirBnB (Note: Room service cannot be reimbursed.)
  • Meals not provided by the conference (Note: Dish names should be included. Alcohol cannot be reimbursed.)

Instructions on how to claim your reimbursements will be provided after the conference.

Poster Format

Please refer to the general ICCV 2019 guidelines; the Doctoral Consortium will use the same format.
