The 19th International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2023) announced its paper acceptance status on July 14th, with multiple papers from the School of Computer Science and Engineering being accepted. ICCV is the premier international computer vision event comprising the main conference and several co-located workshops and tutorials, alongside The IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), both organized by IEEE/CVF. ICCV takes place biennially, and this year's event is scheduled to be held from October 2nd to 6th in Paris, France.

Associate Professor Liang Yanyan, Distinguished Associate Professor Wan Jun, and Chair Professor Zhang Du, from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Innovation Engineering, submitted a total of seven papers to ICCV 2023, out of which three were accepted. The first authors of these three papers are Zhu Zhenwei (second-year Ph.D. student), Yang Liying (second-year master's student) and Zhou Benjia (second-year Ph.D. student), and Associate Professor Liang Yanyan and Associate Professor Wan Jun are the corresponding authors respectively. Three students, all of them first authors, have achieved significant milestones at the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST). Zhu Zhenwei, a student cultivated by the university, holds a Bachelor degree of Science in Software Engineering from the 2015 cohort, a Master's degree of Science in Information Technology from the 2019 cohort, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the 2021 cohort. Likewise, Yang Liying, also nurtured by MUST, obtained a Bachelor degree of Science in Electronic Information Technology in 2017 and is currently pursuing a Master's degree of Applied Mathematics and Data Science from the 2021 cohort. She is about to embark on her Ph.D. journey in Computer Technology and its Applications in the upcoming 2023 cohort. Completing this trio of talented students is Zhou Benjia, who obtained a Master's degree of Science in Information Technology from the 2019 cohort and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the 2021 cohort. These achievements showcase the Macau University of Science and Technology commitment to nurturing talents and conducting scientific research in the fields of information technology and computer science in recent years.

This marks a significant achievement for the research team in Faculty of Innovation Engineering, following previous paper publications at several other Tier 1 international AI conferences, including AAAI 2021, IJCAI 2022, CVPR 2022 and AAAI 2023. It also represents the first time that the Macau University of Science and Technology has presented research papers at ICCV as the primary affiliation. Above-mentioned conferences are highly recommended and rated as the Class A conferences in AI area by China Computer Federation (CCF). (Note: Class A represents the highest level, as defined by CCF, indicating that these conferences are among the very few top-tier international journals and conferences. This encourages Chinese scholars to excel and make breakthroughs in their respective fields). These researches are supported by MOST-FDCT project “Building Incrementally Improved General Visual Models for AutoML: a STEP Perpetual Refinement Approach”(0070/2020/AMJ), FDCT project “Key Technologies for Augmented Reality” (0004/2020/A1), and Guangdong Provincial Key R&D Programme “Research and Industrialization of Key Technology Platform for Virtual Reality Core Engine” (2019B010148001).
