WiCV@CVPR2023: The Eleventh Women In Computer Vision Workshop at the Annual CVPR Conference
This addresses the problem of gender underrepresentation in computer vision for women in academia and industry, but it is an incremental report on an ongoing workshop series.
The paper details the WiCV 2023 workshop at CVPR, which aims to address gender imbalances in computer vision by providing collaboration, mentorship, financial support, and role models for underrepresented women, reporting on program details, historical trends, and statistics for the event.
In this paper, we present the details of Women in Computer Vision Workshop - WiCV 2023, organized alongside the hybrid CVPR 2023 in Vancouver, Canada. WiCV aims to amplify the voices of underrepresented women in the computer vision community, fostering increased visibility in both academia and industry. We believe that such events play a vital role in addressing gender imbalances within the field. The annual WiCV@CVPR workshop offers a) opportunity for collaboration between researchers from minority groups, b) mentorship for female junior researchers, c) financial support to presenters to alleviate finanacial burdens and d) a diverse array of role models who can inspire younger researchers at the outset of their careers. In this paper, we present a comprehensive report on the workshop program, historical trends from the past WiCV@CVPR events, and a summary of statistics related to presenters, attendees, and sponsorship for the WiCV 2023 workshop.
