Full Call for Papers: https://ctrlgenworkshop.github.io/CFP.html
Paper submission deadline: September 30, 2021. Topics of interest include:
Methodology and Algorithms:
-New methods and algorithms for controllability.
-Improvements of language and vision model architectures for controllability.
-Novel loss functions, decoding methods, and prompt design methods for controllability.
Applications and Ethics:
-Applications of controllability including creative AI, machine co-creativity, entertainment, data augmentation (for text and vision), ethics (e.g. bias and toxicity reduction), enhanced training for self-driving vehicles, and improving conversational agents.
-Ethical issues and challenges related to controllable generation including the risks and dangers of deepfake and fake news.
Tasks (a few examples):
-Semantic text exchange
-Persona-based text generation
-Style-sensitive generation or style transfer (for text and vision)
-Cross-modal tasks such as controllable image or video captioning and generation from text
-New and previously unexplored controllable generation tasks!
Evaluation and Benchmarks
-New and improved evaluation methods and metrics for controllability
-Standard and unified metrics and benchmark tasks for controllability
Cross-Domain and Other Areas
-Work in interpretability, disentanglement, robustness, representation learning, etc.
Position and Survey Papers
-For example, exploring problems and lacunae in current controllability formulations, neglected areas in controllability, and the unclear and non-standardized definition of controllability

Full Call for Demonstrations: https://ctrlgenworkshop.github.io/demos.html
Submission deadline: October 29, 2021. Demos of all forms: research-related, demos of products, interesting and creative projects, etc.
Looking for creative, well-presented, and attention-grabbing demos. Examples include:
-Creative AI such as controllable poetry, music, image, and video generation models.
-Style transfer for both text and vision.
-Interactive chatbots and assistants that involve controllability.
-Controllable image and video/graphics enhancement systems.
-Controllability in the form of deepfake and fake news, specifically methods to combat them.
-And much, much more…
