This has led to successful successor events at ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2015, ICDAR 2017, ICDAR 2019, ICDAR 2021, and ICDAR 2023. The tradition of having a Doctoral Consortium as a satelite event to the ICDAR main conference will further be continued at ICDAR 2024 in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of the ICDAR 2024 Doctoral Consortium is to create an opportunity for PhD students to test their research ideas, present their current progress and future plans, and receive constructive criticism and insights related to their future work and career perspectives. Students will have the opportunity to present an overview of their research plan during the poster sessions of the main conference. In addition, a mentor (a senior researcher who is active in the field) will be assigned to each student to provide individual feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation in the ICDAR 2024 Doctoral Consortium will be limited to 25 students. Prospective participants are encouraged to submit their application by June 24, 2024. The Doctoral Consortium Chairs will then review all applications received. Preference will be given to students who are at a stage in their studies most likely to benefit (i.e., they have identified a research direction and published some initial results, but the thesis is not yet set in stone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation to the Doctoral Consortium will be free for all accepted students. There will be no extra registration fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICDAR 2024 Doctoral Consortium will take place during the poster sessions of the main conference, i.e., on Monday, September 2, and Tuesday, September 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\">4) ICDAR 2024 MANPU workshop &#8211; news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">The 6th International Workshop on coMics ANalysis, Processing and Understanding\nFriday, August 30, 2024\nGrand Hyatt Hotel, Athens, Greece\n<a href=\"https:\/\/manpu2024.imlab.jp\/#program\">https:\/\/manpu2024.imlab.jp\/#program<\/a>\n\nOrganized in conjunction with ICDAR2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/icdar2024.net\/\">The 18th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition<\/a>, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Athens\nGreece, August 30 - September 4, 2024<a href=\"https:\/\/manpu2024.imlab.jp\/#top\"><\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>News: keynote speech, August 30 at 9:00am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The patterns of global comics<\/strong><br><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visuallanguagelab.com\">Neil Cohn<\/a><\/em> (Tilburg University)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While sequential images are pervasive in society, from picture books to instruction manuals and storyboards, they appear most complex in comics around the world. Over the past two decades, an increasing focus on corpus analysis has begun to allow greater insights into how comics are structured and comprehended, across work blending manual and computational annotations. Here I will focus on the insights from two corpus projects: the Visual Language Research Corpus (360 comics, 9 countries, 48,000 panels) and the TINTIN Corpus (1,030 comics, 144 countries\/territories, 76,000 panels). This analysis will highlight how the structures of comics change over time while interacting with the culture and languages of their authors, revealing distinctive \u201cvisual languages\u201d that balance diverse and universal features, consistent with other linguistic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manpu2024.imlab.jp\/#keynote\">https:\/\/manpu2024.imlab.jp\/#keynote<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\">5) ICDAR 2024 DAS workshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">The 16th International Workshop Document Analysis Systems\nFriday, August 30 and Saturday, August 31, 2024\n<a href=\"https:\/\/das2024.seecs.edu.pk\/\">https:\/\/das2024.seecs.edu.pk\/<\/a>\n\nOrganized in conjunction with ICDAR2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/icdar2024.net\/\">The 18th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition<\/a>, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Athens Greece, August 30 - September 4, 2024<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Document Analysis System (DAS) will be organized as a satellite workshop in conjunction with ICDAR 2024.
