Computer Science Conferences

Notes on Computer Science conferences.

Ranking

See https://research.com/conference-rankings/computer-science

• Higher ranked conferences are not necessarily harder to get into than second-tier but are more prestigious.
• Usually, you should submit to a few top tier conferences first even if you're not that confident.
• Avoid bottom-tier conferences and pay-to-publish journals. These may hurt your reputation.

Graphics Conferences

Top tier conferences

• ACM SIGGRAPH - the largest and most prestigious graphics conference.
  • See also SIGGRAPH ASIA.
• IEEE VR - for virtual reality related papers. Has a journal track which goes to IEEE TVCG.
  • Deadlines are usually in Sept - Nov.
• IEEE ISMAR - for augmented reality related papers. Has a journal track which goes to IEEE TVCG.
  • Deadlines are usually Mar - May.
• ACM MM - multimedia

Specialized conferences

• High-Performance Graphics (HPG) (sponsored by SIGGRAPH & Eurographics)
• Interactive 3D Graphics (I3D) (A SIGGRAPH Symposium)

Vision Conferences

Top-tier

• CVPR - a top tier vision conference. Has lots of papers so many are presented as posters instead of oral presentations.
• ICCV, ECCV - these rotate each year. Prestige is comparable to CVPR.

Additional conferences

• WACV
• BMVC
• ACCV

Specialized conferences

• 3D Vision (3DV)
• Computational Photography (ICCP)

HCI Conferences

• ACM CHI - the largest HCI conference. Occasionally accepts visualization papers.
  • Has an LBW track where you can submit poster papers which are more likely to get accepted.
  • Paper deadlines in September. LBW deadlines in January.
• ACM UIST - user interfaces. Has AR/XR stuff but seems to lean more towards hardware interfaces: haptics, sensors, 3D things.

ML Conferences

• Neurips, ICML, ICLR, AAAI
