We are thrilled to announce our special session, “Data-efficient Vision Transformers: Challenges & Applications”, which will take place during the IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IEEE IJCNN 2025 2025) in Rome, Italy, from 30 June to 5 July 2025.

About the Session

Vision Transformers (ViTs) are reshaping computer vision with state-of-the-art performance across various domains. However, their dependency on large datasets often limits their potential in real-world, data-scarce scenarios. This special session focuses on innovative methods to enhance data efficiency in ViTs, including self-supervised learning, transfer learning, and generative augmentation strategies.

Why Attend?

Explore cutting-edge techniques for optimising ViTs for low-data regimes. Engage with experts from academia, industry, and research institutions. Discover real-world applications in healthcare, autonomous systems, and more. Participate in discussions on future directions and emerging challenges.

Key Topics

  • Data-efficient training methods
  • Self-supervised and few-shot learning
  • Model compression and optimisation
  • Applications in resource-constrained environments
  • Generative models for synthetic data augmentation

Organisers

  • Dr. Haider Raza, University of Essex, UK
  • Dr. Muhammad Haris Khan, MBZUAI, UAE
  • Professor John Q Gan, University of Essex, UK

We look forward to welcoming researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals passionate about advancing Vision Transformers in practical, impactful ways. —Haider Raza
