Call for Papers

The IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2026
This workshop is for the next installment of the AI for Creative Visual Content Generation Editing and Understanding (CVEU). It brings together researchers working on computer vision, machine listening, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and cognitive research. It aims to bring awareness of recent advances in machine learning technologies to enable assisted creative-video creation and understanding. The workshop will include invited talks by experts in the area and give the community opportunities to share their work via oral and poster presentations. We encourage practitioners, designers, students, post-docs, and researchers to submit work describing new ideas, work-in-progress, and previously or concurrently published research.
