3rd Workshop on More Exploration, Less Exploitation (MELEX)

MELEX

In conjunction with
European Conference on Computer Vision 2026
September 8-13, 2026
Malmömässan Exhibition and Congress Center
Malmö, Sweden

Computer Vision Machine Learning Image Processing Deep Learning AI

Addresses the exploration-exploitation tradeoff in visual learning systems, encouraging novel dataset collection, benchmark creation, and underexplored research directions. Focuses on advancing computer vision beyond saturated benchmarks into new problem areas. Deliberately contrarian, encouraging work on underexplored problems rather than incremental gains on saturated benchmarks, and one of the few venues where a new dataset or a negative result is treated as a contribution rather than as a weaker substitute for a leaderboard win.
