Call for Tutorials

The details please refer here.

The organizing committee is pleased to invite tutorial proposals for the International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2021). Tutorials can be for either half-or full day. A half-day tutorial could be 3 hours long and a full-day tutorial could be 5-6 hours long. Tutorials will be held on August 4 or 7, 2021 either online or in-person. Tutorial proposals can address either emerging or established research topics that will be of broad interest to the biometrics community. Tutorials are expected to offer an opportunity for IJCB 2021 participants to acquire technical knowledge in emerging and/or established research areas in biometrics. Any area of biometrics can be the subject of a tutorial, and examples of past tutorials include:

• Soft Biometrics: Algorithms and Applications
• Deep Learning for Biometrics
• Latent Fingerprint and Palmprint Recognition
• Metric Learning for Face Analysis
• Iris Recognition: From Basics to Research Frontiers
• Heterogeneous Face Recognition (HFR): Infrared-to-Visible Matching
• Face Anti-Spoofing: Past, Present and the Future
• Human Identification at a Distance by Gait Recognition

Tutorial proposals will be prioritized and evaluated based on their relevance to the conference, originality, qualification of the tutors on the proposed topic, and their potential to attract participants to the conference. Tutorial proposals should contain the following information:

1. title;
2. abstract;
3. target participants attending in person and virtual;
4. prerequisites for the participants;
5. expected enrollment along with the basis of such enrollment;
6. list of topics to be presented with their estimated duration and pointers to the associated literature and
7. short biography of the tutor with relevant experience on the tutorial topic.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted as a PDF attachment via email to the tutorial chair: Antitza Dantcheva (antitza.dantcheva@inria.fr) and Cunjian Chen (cunjian@msu.edu) with the subject title “IJCB 2021 – Tutorial Proposal”.
