Call for Special Sessions at the 21st International Conference on Content- Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2024)

 

CBMI 2024 is calling for high quality Special Sessions addressing innovative research in content-based multimedia indexing and its related broad fields. Special session papers will supplement the regular research papers and be included in the proceedings of the conference. The proceedings will be published by ACM. The state-of-the-art research outcomes in challenging multimedia topics are highly welcome, with a particular focus in highly impactful applications:

  • Multimedia information retrieval (image, audio, video, text)

  • Remote sensing image or video retrieval

  • Mobile and social media retrieval 

  • Event-based media retrieval

  • Multimedia data mining and analytics

  • Multimodal analytics, simulations, and Digital Twins

  • Multimedia recommendation

  • 3D object/item retrieval

  • Multimedia verification (e.g., multi-modal fact-checking, deep fake analysis)

  • Generative models for media content

  • Multimodal fusion and content enrichment in application areas: disaster management, tourism, smart manufacturing, security, water sector, public administration, journalism.

  • Evaluation and benchmarking of multimedia retrieval systems



Special Session Submission Process

Normally, each special session will include four to five papers. In addition to invited papers, if any, the conference will also welcome open submissions to special sessions. In order to ensure the high quality of accepted papers, all papers submitted to special sessions, including invited papers, will be peer-reviewed through a strict review process. If a special session has many high-quality submissions, some of the submissions might be moved to regular sessions. 

 

Special session papers must follow the same guidelines as regular research papers with respect to restrictions on formatting, length, and double-blind reviews. The review process will be coordinated with the main technical program review process of the CBMI, as coordinated by the PC chairs.  The organizers of each special session must provide 2 reviews per submitted/invited paper, while the regular program committee will provide 1-2 reviews. 

 

Special sessions organizers may submit work to their own session, with the restrictions that (a) each organizer may submit at most one paper, and (b) no paper can be co-authored by all organizers, to ensure there is always at least one chair able to organize the review of the submission.

 

Special Session Proposal Guidelines

Please include the following information in your proposal:

  • Title of the proposed special session.

  • Name, affiliation, brief biography and contact information for each of the organizers.

  • A session abstract including significance justification and a brief overview of the state-of-the-art of the proposed special session topic.
    Note: The session abstract should be in a format that can be copied directly to the conference web-page to advertise the session.

  • List of invited papers, if applicable, including for each paper: tentative title, author list, and preferably a short abstract.

  • Proposal for arrangement of the reviews from session organizers (e.g. list of reviewers for the special session).

  • Description of the session format (e.g. panel, technical talks, poster session).

  • Plans for advertising the special session (e.g. targeted distribution lists, projects, communities)

  • If applicable, plans for exploitation of the results of the workshop (e.g. summary papers)

 

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and relevance to CBMI, qualification(s) of the organizer(s), anticipated community interest and quality of papers in the proposed session, and other information from the list above provided by the organizers.
