(Apologies for multiple copies) The Ninth International Workshop on Multimedia for Cooking and Eating Activities (CEA2017) will be held on August 19, 20 or 21, 2017. We are planning to have the Student Travel Grant supported by Cookpad Inc. Every winner will get 150,000 JPY as the travel exepense (flight tickets, local traffic expense, and hotel fee), with a free registration to the CEA2017 workshop.

Joint Conf. on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI2017) Melbourne, Australia August 19, 20 or 21, 2017 (TBD) _/_//_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_ Cooking is one of the most fundamental activities of humankind. It is not only connected with the joy of eating but also deeply affects various aspects of human life such as health, culinary art, entertainment, and human communication. Cooking at home requires experience and knowledge. They may also need support for food-logging and menu planning for their family health. Needless to say, support for a good and enjoyable meal would improve the quality of life. Systematic cooking/eating support for elderly or physically challenged people is also significantly important. Since a cooking activity requires people to manipulate foods, watch their conditions, listen to the sounds, smell the aromas, and taste it, a cooking assistive system should also be capable of handling multiple sensitivities. CEA has been aiming to provide an opportunity for such research groups to discover each other, introduce their trials, and discuss their status and where they should go. The research community of CEA is truly interdisciplinary, including health science, domestic science, and cultural science. Even if we limit ourselves to computer science, there is related work in multimedia, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, data mining, and artificial intelligence. As the nihth meeting of this workshop series, it aims to provide an opportunity for such research groups to discover each other, introduce their trials, and discuss how it should be and where they should go. [Topics] The workshop welcomes contributions in, but not limited to, the following topics: - Application for cooking and eating support - Cooking archiving and recognition - Learning contents creation for cooking - Analysis of cooking video - Recipe image/video retrieval - Analysis and utilization on cooking recipe - Menu planning, dietary management, and food log - Artificial agent for cooking/eating activity - Sensing of taste/ smell/ texture - Food communication (human-to-human / human-to-computer communication) - Ubiquitous environment and interface in kitchen - Intelligent home appliance - Cooking navigation interface for the dementia and physically challenged person support - Multimedia learning contents for dietary - Multimedia information service for food safety and security - Analysis of Web contents on cooking/eating activities [Important Dates] - Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2017 - Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2017 - Camera ready deadline: TBD - Workshop date: TBD (August 19, 20 or 21, 2017) [Review criteria and process] Each paper submission will be reviewed by more than two experts. Submissions are reviewed based on: - Originality of the content - Quality of the content - Relevance to the theme - Clarity of the written presentation [Cookpad Student Travel Grant] The applicants should be the first author of the submitted paper, be a graduate/undergraduate student, and make a presentation in CEA2017 by themselves. The evaluation of the applications will be made by the CEA2017 organizing committee and Cookpad Inc. after the acceptance decision. Every candidate paper is evaluated on the basis of quality and originality. Up to two student papers are selected as the winner of this grant. The result will be announced by 16th June.
