SAUAFG 2026

Second International Workshop on Skilled Activity Understanding, Assessment and Feedback Generation

Jun 03 2026Denver, Colorado, United StatesOfficial workshop site Site reachable

The SAUAFG 2026 workshop, held in conjunction with CVPR 2026, focuses on AI-driven understanding, assessment, and feedback generation for skilled human activities across domains like sports, surgery, manufacturing, and rehabilitation. It brings together researchers and practitioners to advance video-based analysis of human performance and enable intelligent, personalized skill coaching through cutting-edge computer vision and AI techniques.

Contribution paths

A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.

Proceedings Track

Papers accepted to this track will be published in the official proceedings. Must use CVPR 2026 paper templates, with an 8-page limit (excluding references), and follow CVPR 2026 guidelines. Supplementary material allowed. Single-stage review without rebuttal. Must be anonymized.

Non-Proceedings Track

Papers presented at the workshop but not included in the proceedings. Can be previously published or submitted elsewhere. Not required to be anonymized. Supplementary material allowed. Single-stage review without rebuttal. Welcomes work-in-progress, late-breaking results, or provocative ideas without formal evaluation.
