2020 VizWiz Grand Challenge Workshop – VizWiz

Our goal for this workshop is to educate researchers about the technological needs of people with vision impairments while empowering researchers to improve algorithms to meet these needs. A key component of this event will be to track progress on a new dataset challenge, where the task is to caption images taken by people who are blind. Winners of this challenge will receive awards sponsored by Microsoft. The second key component of this event will be a discussion about current research and application issues, including by invited speakers from both academia and industry who will share about their experiences in building today's state- of-the- art assistive technologies as well as designing next-generation tools. We invite submissions of results from algorithms for the image captioning challenge task.
