The 20th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering
September 29, 2020 to October 1, 2020
San Jose, CA, USA
Program
DocEng will be a virtual event on BlueJeans and Slack. No installation is required, apart from a Web browser. See https://doceng.org/doceng2020/registration for information on how to access the virtual events.
The date and times of the individual paper presentations will be provided soon. Papers will be presented as pre-recorded videos followed by a live Q&A. Please see Presentation Guidelines for Authors below for more details.
All times shown are in Pacific Daylight Time (PDT).
Monday, September 28th (Tutorial: Machine Interpretation of Sketched)
Drawings have been used as a means of communication for as long as people have made any form of writing. In this tutorial, we look at the use of sketches in the product design and manufacturing industry. Specifically, we will look at the difficulties associated with the machine interpretation of sketches. We then describe a sketch-based interface which allows us to create a 3D model from a 2D, annotated drawing. Next, we describe how Gabor filters can be used to obtain clean drawings from rough, over-sketched line strokes. We will then look at how a convolutional neural network can be used to attain similar results.
Throughout the tutorial, we will use Jupyter Notebook examples which are available on the Slack channel.

Bird of a Feather
Charles Nicholas will serve as chair of this year's Birds of a Feather (BoaF) session. We invite you to go to the bof-general Slack channel or message Charles Nicholas on Slack with ideas or suggestions for discussion. The only constraint is that the topic must have some (perhaps dubious) relationship to Document Engineering. These suggestions will be boiled down to a few specific topics, and shared with the participants a day or so before the conference. We'll use the BlueJeans system to set up meeting spaces for those who want to take part in one or more BoaF discussions. Each session will have the chance to give a brief (two minutes) presentation on the last day of the conference.
Presentation Guidelines for Authors
DocEng will hold three live sessions. In order to facilitate an on-time schedule, we are requiring authors to pre-record their presentations. Long papers will have 10 minutes for their presentation recording with 5 minutes for a live Q&A. Short papers will have 7 minutes for their presentation recording with 3 minutes for a live Q&A. While we do not provide strict guidelines on which tools should be used to record the presentations, we recommend using the built in screen recording tool over the presentation of the slides (https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/how-to-video-screen-capture-windows-10 or https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208721). We do not require a video stream of the author/presentor to appear in this video.
Videos should be submitted one week before the presentation date. Further upload instructions to be provided soon.
