TCPAMI Awards Committee
Mission
The TCPAMI Award Committee is intended recognize research of superior quality. The committee was established by the following motion, which was approved at CVPR13: “The TCPAMI Award Committee shall consist of 6 members, serving staggered 3-year terms. The members shall be elected by an annual vote of the TCPAMI, from among candidates who are nominated a month in advance. The TCPAMI chair shall fill any vacancies.
The awards committee will make public its procedures for giving out awards, including its conflicts policy.” The award committee will select awards to be presented at CVPR or ICCV, and occasionally at other vision conferences of similar quality. All awards except for the best paper awards at an individual conference are the committee’s responsibility. The committee will appoint an ad hoc committee to select the winner(s) for each award, typically with a member of the awards committee as the chair.
Conflict of Interest Policy
No member of the ad hoc committee in charge of recommending an award is eligible for the award. The members of the ad hoc committee shall disclose their conflicts to the rest of the ad hoc committee and to the TC chair. The definition of conflicts shall be the one used by National Science Foundation funding panels, which also allows a committee member to declare a conflict for any reason.
A member with a conflict shall not participate in any discussions of the relevant candidate. The award recommendation shall be made using a voting system that allows the option of voting “no opinion” on a particular candidate without helping or harming their prospects. At the end of the process the ad hoc committee will vote, and the TC chair shall ensure that members vote “no opinion” on all candidates with whom they have a conflict.
