ACM ICMR 2026 is calling for high-quality original papers addressing innovative research in multimedia retrieval and its directly related fields. The main scope of the conference is search and retrieval of multimedia and multimodal data. This includes analysis and understanding of different multimedia content types, such as 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. Short research papers should present preliminary results or more focused contributions. They will be presented as posters at the conference.

ACM ICMR 2026 proceedings will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. Authors are encouraged to read the Open Access notice below, as ACM has fully transitioned to an Open Access model starting in 2026.
