Our aim is to create a lasting interdisciplinary research community situated at the language-vision interface, jointly working towards solutions for some of today's toughest computational challenges, including image and video search, description of visual content and text-to-image generation. The Vision and Language Workshop is chiefly intended to be a networking and community building event for the computer vision and language processing communities. It will give us an opportunity to meet and get to know each other. This process will be supported by an informal approach characterised by diverse networking activities and a large number of brief oral presentations combined with poster presentations. The Vision and Language Workshop is free for full V&L Net members. V&L Net will furthermore cover the cost of one night's accommodation in Brighton and economy-class travel within the UK for full V&L Net members presenting an accepted poster. Full details can be found on the workshop page on the V&L Net website. Endorsed by EACL http://www.eacl.org/ (the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics) and BMVA http://www.bmva.org (the British Machine Vision Association) Outline Programme: Morning: Introduction and Welcome Computer Vision Invited Talk: Yiannis Aloimonos, University of Maryland Language Processing Invited Talk (speaker t.b.c.)

Call for Participation: The Vision & Language Workshop organisers invite researchers with an interest in computer vision and language processing to register for the workshop by sending an email to vl-netbrighton.ac.uk giving name, affiliation and primary research interests. Mini-posters for WLTM Notice Board: Delegates are furthermore encouraged to bring along to the workshop A3-sized mini-posters for our would-like-to-meet notice board. The idea is for mini-posters to describe collaborations sought, profile research groups, advertise publications, and similar items.
