CALL FOR PAPERS
_______________

ACM ICMR 2023 is calling for high quality original papers addressing innovative research in multimedia retrieval and its related broad fields. The main scope of the conference is not only search and retrieval of multimedia data but also analysis and understanding of multimedia contents including community-contributed social data, lifelogging data and automatically generated sensor data, integration of diverse multimodal data, deep learning-based methodology and practical multimedia applications.

Long research papers should present complete work with evaluations on topics related to the Conference. They will have both oral and poster presentations at the conference. Authors of the best papers will be offered an opportunity to extend their work for a Special Issue in a peer-reviewed multimedia journal (to be defined). Short research papers should present preliminary results or more focused contributions. They will be presented as posters at the conference.

REVIEW PROCESS
______________

ACM ICMR follows a double-blind review process for full paper selection. Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers should not know the name(s) of the author(s). Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the authors:

Do not put your names under the title,
Avoid using phrases such as “our previous work” when referring to
earlier publications by the authors,
Remove information that may identify the authors in the
acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs),
Check supplemental material for information that may identify the
authors’ identity,
Avoid providing links to Websites that identify the authors.

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract and the keywords form the primary source for assigning papers to reviewers. So make sure that they form a concise and complete summary of your paper with sufficient information to let someone who has not read the full paper know what it is about.
