      <description>&lt;p&gt;TBD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- ## Important Notes

- All manuscripts should be submitted online.
- The full paper should be submitted for review. The paper must follow the formatting instructions below.
- MVA reviewing is double-blind. All papers submitted for review must maintain anonymity.
- MVA 2027 does not consider a paper on `arXiv.org` as a dual submission.
- At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper at the conference to ensure that your paper is included in the proceedings.
- _Authors are encouraged to submit some evidence for the feasibility of commercial products. Note that authors do not have to submit the evidence. They will be evaluated only in the award selection process and will not be used for deciding whether or not each paper is accepted for presentation at the conference._
- **At least one of the authors for each submission must serve as a reviewer.** This reviewer must have a Ph.D. or be a Ph.D. student and have experience with peer review. If no such reviewer is available, it is not necessary to provide a reviewer to that submission. Additionally, the same person can serve as a reviewer for multiple submissions.

The online submission system will be announced.

## Conflict Responsibilities

The primary author&#39;s responsibility is to ensure that all authors on their paper have registered their institutional conflicts into the submission system. For each author, please enter the domain of his/her current institution (example: `u-tokyo.ac.jp; microsoft.com`). Please enter ONLY ONE institution, except when the author was in more than one institution in the last 12 months. DO NOT enter the domain of email providers such as gmail.com. This institutional conflict information will be used in conjunction with prior authorship conflict information to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs. If a paper is found to have an undeclared or incorrect institutional conflict, it may be summarily rejected.

## Formatting Instructions

Templates will be announced. The page limit is 4 pages, excluding references. Papers should be printable on A4 paper. Your paper for reviewing must be anonymous by eliminating any information (e.g., your name, affiliation, address, etc.) that could identify you. Authors can leave citations to their previous work unanonymized, but they should cite their own work in the third person (e.g., &#34;[17] found that…&#34;). All manuscripts must be in English.

You are kindly requested to submit the PDF paper after making sure that a) the length of the PDF paper remains within the page limit, b) the PDF file size is **20 MB or less**, and c) the file can be read and printed by Adobe Reader.

## Supplemental Materials

Supplementary material (images, video, etc.) may optionally be submitted with papers, but be sure to maintain anonymity, including the file properties or other hidden text. The supplemental materials have a file size limit of **50 MB**. The supplemental materials will not be part of the conference proceedings, so they will only aid the reviewing process and award selection process. Reviewers are not required to view the supplemental material (though most reviewers are likely to do so), so any information critical to understanding the work should be in the main paper.

&lt;!-- ## [IAPR Ethical Requirements for Authors](https://iapr.org/constitution/soe.php)

&gt; The IAPR requires that all authors wishing to present a paper declare that the paper is substantially original; that is, the manuscript as a whole, or for the most part, is novel, has not been published in (or even submitted to) any journals and has not been presented at any other conferences. If previous versions of the manuscript were published or presented, appropriate references must be given and substantial justification for presentation of the current version must be presented.
&gt;
&gt; The IAPR strictly prohibits any plagiarism; that is, the work of others must not be &#34;borrowed&#34; and presented as the authors&#39; own work, regardless of the size of the borrowed portion.
&gt;
&gt; The IAPR frowns upon &#34;no-show behavior&#34; at IAPR-related conferences and workshops, meaning that an author registers to make a presentation but does not show up for it. If such behavior is unavoidable due to urgent and unexpected personal matters, the author is strongly urged to notify the event organizer of the situation as soon as possible. If prior notification is impossible, the organizer should be advised after the fact of the reason for the author&#39;s absence.
&gt;
&gt; The IAPR retains the rights to eliminate any papers in violation of these Requirements and to take appropriate action against individuals repeatedly violating these Requirements and assumes no responsibility for any resulting loss of reputation or opportunity of such individuals or for any inconvenience related to the future work of such individuals.

MVA reserves the right to exclude a paper from any distributions after the conference (e.g., removal from the electronic archive of past MVA proceedings) if the paper is not presented at the conference. --&gt;

      <title>Camera-Ready Submission</title>
      <link>https://www.mva-org.jp/mva2027/camera-ready/</link>
      <pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid>https://www.mva-org.jp/mva2027/camera-ready/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;TBD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- ## Final Paper Submission and Registration

For making presentations at MVA 2027, the authors must complete the following tasks:

- Submit the camera-ready manuscript by the deadline (TBD).
- Complete registration on the registration system as a presenter by the early bird deadline (TBD).

## Camera-Ready Manuscript

### Format

All manuscripts must be in English. The page limit is 4 pages, excluding references, and papers should be printable on A4 paper.

Formatting guide and templates will be announced.

### Submission

Please access the online submission system (link TBD) and click on &#34;Create Camera Ready Submission&#34; to submit the required files.

The files to upload are as follows:

- A PDF file of your final camera-ready manuscript. The maximal file size is **20 MB**, with the page limitation of max **4 pages, excluding references**.

## Copyright Transfer Agreement

The [IEICE](https://www.ieice.org/eng_r/index.html) (The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) will hold the copyright of MVA2027 papers. We ask the authors to understand that with the submission of the final manuscript, the copyright of the paper shall be transferred to the IEICE. Accepted paper will be included in the IEICE proceeding series and submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore&#39;s scope and quality requirements.

## Preprint Server (arXiv) Policy

When uploading to a preprint server, a request for permission is not required if all of the following conditions are met.

- Copyright notices (e.g., copyright ©2027 IEICE) must be provided. (* This condition is exempt for arXiv and JXiv)
- The source (e.g., author name, title, magazine name, volume, issue, page, year of publication, etc.) must be indicated.
- Author&#39;s consent must be obtained (when use is by the organization to which the author belongs/when there are co-authors).

If you wish to upload to a preprint server without satisfying the above conditions, please submit an [application form](https://www.ieice.org/chosaku/sinsei/index-e.php) for permission to use copyrighted work to the IEICE and consult with them.

## Registration

**At least one author** for a paper who makes a presentation must complete the registration to ensure that your paper is included in the proceedings. A presenter must register as **&#39;Participant&#39;** with your paper ID, **even if you are a student**.

The author who registers must give a presentation without fail. If he/she fails to appear for the presentation, all the rights covered by the registration will be jeopardized, including the right to receive a copy of the proceedings. The IEICE reserves the right to exclude his/her paper from distribution after the conference, e.g., from the archive of the IEICE proceeding series and the IEEE Xplore.

An author having more than one paper accepted, only one registration is required for publication. Other authors are also welcome to register and participate in the conference.
