Workshop Proposals @ ACM MM 2016

ACM Multimedia 2016 Call for Workshop Proposals

We invite proposals for Workshops to be held at the ACM Multimedia 2016 Conference. Accepted workshops will take place during the main conference, which is scheduled for 15-19 October, 2016 Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

We solicit proposals for two different kinds of workshops: regular workshops and data challenge. In particular, ACM Multimedia 2016 will have a co-located tutorial and workshop weekend with ECCV’16 on 15 and 16 Oct. In particular, we anticipate most of the ACM MM workshops to take place on Sunday 16 Oct.

Regular Workshops: The regular workshops should offer a forum for discussions of broad range of emerging and specialized topics of interest to the SIG Multimedia community.

Data Challenge Workshops: We are also seeking organizers to propose Challenge-Based Workshops. Both academic and corporate organizers are welcome. Data Challenge workshops are solicited from both academic and corporate organizers. The organizers should provide a dataset that is exemplar of the complexities of current and future multimodal/multimedia problems, and one or more multimodal/ multimedia tasks whose performance can be objectively measured. Participants in the challenge will evaluate their methods against the challenge data in order to identify areas of strengths and weakness. Best performing participating methods will be presented in the form of papers and oral/poster presentations at the workshop.

Workshop proposals should not exceed five single spaced pages and should be submitted at http://bit.ly/mm16-workshop-proposal. Submissions will be acknowledged via email a few days past the proposal deadline.

Based on current SIG Multimedia workshop guidelines, workshops will be selected from competitive proposals with an acceptance rate of 50% or less. We will accept up to ten workshops.
