1. Call for Papers

ACM Multimedia is the premier international conference in multimedia. It
covers multiple emerging fields focusing on advancing the research and
applications of many media, including but not limited to images, text, audio,
speech, music, sensor and social data.  It strongly encourages a complete and
integrated approach to exchange, process and utilize information across
modalities, as well as all cutting-edge research on each medium with potential
of great positive impacts on everyday lives and technological breakthroughs.
While the community has a tradition of developing and innovating AI and system
approaches to handle big data and improve users? experiences on engaging and
interacting with multimedia, it is also uniquely angled towards novel
applications and urgent industrial challenges. As such the conference openly
embraces new intellectual perspectives from both industry and academia, and
welcomes submissions from related fields, such as artificial intelligence,
vision and languages, data sciences, HCI and multimedia signal processing, as
well as healthcare, education and beyond.  We invite the submissions in four
major themes of multimedia.

2. Highlights of ACM Multimedia 2020

Scientific Diversity: It is among our top priorities to ensure a top-quality
conference that covers a full diversity of all fields of multimedia research
including a variety of media modalities by addressing both technological and
practical challenges.

Value: We strive to select the most innovative and the highest-quality
research aiming at the most impactful novelty on individual media and/or from
a systematic perspective of innovating and integrating multiple components
across modalities.

Sharing: We value the sharing of not only knowledge (in the form of papers,
presentations and demos) but also the code and open-source software. While we
will continue the implementation of the ACM Artifact Review and Badging, best
efforts will be made on sharing and preserving the open-source code and
systems resulting from the published papers.

3. Location

The conference will be held in Bellevue, Washington, United States, located in
the Greater Seattle area famous as an ever-green city and home to many hi-tech
