CV4Edu - Computer Vision for Education
Computer vision (CV) plays a central role in human‑centered AI, yet most models are trained on web‑scale benchmarks that poorly reflect real classrooms. Educational data are noisy, private, small‑scale, and multimodal (e.g.,face, gaze, pose). Students’ cognitive/behavioral states (e.g.,engagement, mind‑wandering) and learning processes (e.g.,self-regulation, collaboration) can be inferred from subtle cues in the lab. Still, today’s models struggle to generalize to noisy classroom data. CV4Edu brings together computer vision, human-computer interaction, and educational researchers to chart a community agenda for efficient, privacy‑aware multimodal data-driven models that work more efficiently and reliably in low‑resource, real‑world classrooms—potentially launching shared datasets, metrics, and unified practices.
Topics
The workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
- Multimodal perception in classrooms: face, gaze, pose, gesture, posture, affect, prosody/speech dynamics, turn‑taking, task objects (board/projector, notebooks, lab materials)
- Robustness & generalization: domain shift beyond the lab, few‑/low‑shot learning, continual and on‑device adaptation under occlusions, varying camera placements, seating layouts, multi‑party and multimodal dynamics.
- Construct inference, interpretability & measurement validity: end‑to‑end mapping from vision features to learning‑science constructs using interdisciplinary codebooks (e.g., deriving behaviors that are ecologically valid requires codebook), reliability (inter‑rater/test–retest), calibration/uncertainty, and validity evidence.
- Data, benchmarks, and protocols: curation/annotation aligned with educational constructs, consent & documentation norms/regulations, unified pre‑/post‑processing, privacy‑preserving datasets and learning (e.g., model‑weight sharing/privacy preserving approaches).
- Case studies and deployments: human‑in‑the‑loop tools, human-AI frameworks, classroom feedback systems, and equitable uses.
