Vision models excel at capturing spatial structures, scientific applications demand a higher standard: models must be reliable, interpretable, and strictly bound by physical laws rather than just visually plausible. This workshop positions geometry as the fundamental bridge between these two worlds, exploring how spatial inductive biases, symmetry, and structured representations can empower machine learning models to look beyond the surface, moving from simply seeing the world to reasoning, generalizing, and uncovering the hidden structural principles of the natural sciences.
Novel contributions and recently published work both welcome.
Double-blind peer review. Accepted papers are non-archival.
The page limit applies to the main paper only. References and an appendix/supplementary material may be included in addition and do not count towards the page limit.
All submissions must use the ECCV 2026 template.
Submit via the OpenReview portal.
Articles in the Nectar Track are articles that were already published, or at least accepted for publication, elsewhere in 2025–2026. Hence, they will not be published again as part of the workshop proceedings. We strongly encourage submitting conference and journal articles from such venues as ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, NeurIPS, ICML, PAMI, IJCV, etc.
The submission guidelines are as follows:
