About
The AI for Creative Visual Content Generation, Editing and Understanding (CVEU) workshop at CVPR 2026 continues the series of events at computer vision community: CVPR'25, CVPR'24, ICCV'23, ECCV'22, ICCV'21, and computer graphics community: SIGGRAPH'24, SIGGRAPH'25, SIGGRAPH Asia'25, and ai art community: HKUST AI Film Festival 2025. HKUST AI Film Festival 2026.
It brings together researchers, artists and entrepreneurs working on computer graphics, human–computer interaction, computer vision, machine learning, and cognitive research to explore how AI can assist creative visual content generation, editing and understanding.
Workshop Theme: World Modeling
World modeling is the development of AI systems that build rich internal representations of the physical and digital world—its objects, agents, dynamics, and uncertainties—and use these models to reason, plan, and act. Instead of only mapping inputs directly to outputs, world models learn predictive, structured abstractions (e.g., 3D scenes, causal relationships, multimodal narratives) that support simulation and counterfactual reasoning.
For creative visual content, world modeling enables models to maintain global coherence across space, time, and modalities: characters stay consistent across shots, lighting and physics remain plausible, and edits respect scene geometry, narrative intent, and user constraints. This workshop highlights methods that leverage such structured world understanding to advance controllable generation, robust editing, interactive storytelling, and human–AI collaboration in visual media.

Call for Papers
The IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2026
This workshop is for the next installment of the AI for Creative Visual Content Generation Editing and Understanding (CVEU).
It brings together researchers working on computer vision, machine listening, computer graphics, human-computer interaction,
and cognitive research. It aims to bring awareness of recent advances in machine learning technologies to enable
assisted creative-video creation and understanding. The workshop will include invited talks by experts in the area and
give the community opportunities to share their work via oral and poster presentations. We encourage practitioners,
designers, students, post-docs, and researchers to submit work describing new ideas, work-in-progress, and previously
or concurrently published research.
