Overview

The ACM International Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval is a premier scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the area of multimedia retrieval. All papers in the main track must be high quality original papers which address important issues in multimedia exploration, summarization and retrieval including, but not limited to:

Exploration of media archives - browsing, experiential computing
Interfaces for multimedia exploration, visualization, query and retrieval
Indexing and search of multimedia data: images, video, audio, multi-modal systems
Digital life experience analysis and retrieval - life logs, digital immortality, life bits
Video surveillance browsing and retrieval, object detection and recognition, archiving
Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval
Applications - world wide web searching, preserving cultural heritage, trademark search, data mining, person identification, scientific media, bio-computing and medical multimedia mining/indexing (MRI, CT, ...)
 

Brave New Topics Session - for emerging frontier theories or applications in MIR. Note that the typical novelty requirement in this session is much higher than the regular paper submissions.

Paper Submission

Double-blind full papers (preferably 6-8 pages in the ACM style sheet in English), should be submitted through the website submission system. We recommend the authors not give any indications of authorship in the text.
