The organizing committee invites proposals for challenges addressing problems that will engage and excite the information forensics and security research community. The organizers should design their challenges in a way to make the final evaluation fully replicable by others after the challenge is concluded. This requires a delivery of a formal benchmark (which may include a test set, or instructions how to compose the test set using components that are in a public domain). The goal of this requirement is to make the challenge’s results a baseline for future algorithms. The organizers are also in charge of evaluating the submitted results/models.
The organizers will be asked to summarize the challenge outcomes in a paper with the same format as regular submissions that will be presented during the workshop and submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. The deadline for submitting challenge papers is postponed with respect to regular conference papers.
Challenge proposals should be submitted in PDF format, not exceeding 4 pages, including:
- Challenge title;
- Short description of the proposed challenge (one paragraph);
- Novelty and motivation (one to two paragraphs) – why this topic is of interest to the WIFS community; potential impact on the WIFS community;
- Short biography of the organizers;
- List of potential contributors.
Proposals should be sent to the Special Session, Demo and Challenge Chairs through the email wifs2024.contributions@uniroma3.it.
