Proceedings of the First Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research

Language and vision research has attracted great attention from both natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) researchers. Gradually, this area is shifting from passive perception, templated language, and synthetic imagery or environments to active perception, natural language, and photorealistic simulation or real world deployment. Thus far, few workshops on language and vision research have been organized by groups from the NLP community. We organize the first workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research (ALVR) in order to promote the frontier of language and vision research and to bring interested researchers together to discuss how to best tackle and solve real-world problems in this area. iii
