Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Vision and Language

The Workshop on Vision and Language 2015 (VL’15) took place in the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal on September 18th 2015, as part of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2015). The workshop was organized by the new European Network on Integrating Vision and Language, an initiative funded as a European COST Action under the Horizon 2020 programme supported by the European Commission. The 2015 edition of the VL workshop is a successful continuation of the previous VL editions, where the VL workshops have the following general aims:1. to provide a venue for reporting and discussing planned, ongoing and completed research that involves both language and vision; and2. to enable NLP and computer vision researchers to meet, exchange ideas, expertise and technology, and form new research partnerships.The flagship workshop’s main purpose is to establish a strong inter-disciplinary forum which will ignite fertilizing discussions and ideas on how to combine and integrate established and novel techniques from different (but related) fields into new unified modeling approaches, as well as how to approach the problem of multi-modal data processing for NLP and vision from a completely new angle.
