Call for Grand Challenge

IEEE AVSS 2025 is inviting proposals for its Grand Challenge (GC) program. Please see the following guidelines for this year’s grand challenge submission:

1. GC organizers cannot participate as competitors in the GC they are organizing.

2. GC organizers should provide a dataset that is open for competition; in particular, it has to include: i) a training set with ground truth that is available to all participants and ii) a testing set that is also available to participants but whose ground truth is hidden. GC organizers are responsible for evaluating all submitted models using the testing set (plus, optionally, a second testing set that is hidden from the participants).

3. GC organizers should coordinate reviews of GC papers that describe the submitted models. Submitted GC papers can optionally have a missing results section, which will be completed after GC organizers have completed their evaluations.

4. GC organizers should organize a 2-hour GC session to be included in the AVSS-25 program, which should include the presentations of the models submitted to the challenge, followed by a panel or open discussion. Winners of competitions should be announced during the GC sessions.

5. Participants in the Grand Challenge are encouraged to submit short papers (up to 4 pages) that, in case of acceptance, will be published in the conference workshop proceedings.
