Camera-ready due date | July 5, 2021 |
This workshop invites researchers and engineers from industry, or public administrations, or universities in partnership with industry or administrations, to briefly present their applied research results and innovative applications. Usually, applied research is not published due to a lack of methodology novelty or, for confidential reasons preventing any accurate description of methodologies. However, all these works are of interest to attendees of ICDAR. This workshop allows these publications, focusing more on experiments with business cases, or original applications, than on the methodology novelty. This workshop is an opportunity to build more interaction between industry, public administrations and academia.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Papers are limited either to 6-8 pages (short paper, recommended) or 12-15 pages (long paper), describing applications of document analysis and recognition
- Accepted papers will be presented only as Posters during the main ICDAR conference, alongside the ICDAR posters but demarked to indicate they belong to this workshop.
Paper length will be not an evaluation criterium. The Evaluation criteria are the following:
- originality of the problem
- pertinence of the evaluation protocol
- pertinence of the performance compared to business competition
- pertinence of the discussion
- industrial impact: genericity and adaptability of the approach, i.e. adaption effort required when facing document variability or adaptation effort to setup a new user case.
The weighting of the originality of the method will decrease if the work is applied to a new scenario with high performance, and if the method demonstrates good adaptability.
