Reply to comment by there_are_no_owls in [D] Giving Up on Staying Up to Date and Splitting the Field by beezlebub33

Aren’t there already a lot of specialized conferences? Like cvpr and iccv are computer vision, I know theres an NLP one I don’t remember the name.

RL is the only one that I can’t think of a famous specialized conference for but there probably are ones that just aren’t as famous.

"Computer Vision" on its own is already a fucking massive field though, covering generative modeling, scene understanding, edge hardware, and everything in between.

Generative image models probably need to fork off sometime soon, especially text-guided versions. It's a pet peeve of mine that we're calling it "vision". Vision, at least to me, implies seeing/making sense of what is actually there.

While text-guided image generation is flavour of the month, i don't think that it has broad enough impact to generate a consistent large enough amount of papers to be able to sustain its own conference.

I suspect automated image generation is going to become an industry, if not a separate field of study, within the next three years, so we'll start seeing hybrid programmer/artist conferences springing up, with people leaning more towards demonstrations rather than papers.

NLP has several large conferences that people publish impressive research at.

ACL, EMNLP, COLING, LREC (for datasets!), and the various geolocated variants of each are all prestigious venues.
