In addition to classical art types like paintings, sculpture, music, dance, and movie, new types of artworks emerge as the advancement of social platforms, media capturing devices, and media processing tools. Large volumes of user-generated content or professionally edited content are shared and disseminated on the web. Internet users can browse, comment, edit, and sometimes creatively re-compose this content to generate new media, giving new viewpoints or interesting applications. Novel multimedia artworks, therefore, emerge rapidly in the era of social media and big data. The ever increasing amounts of multimedia artworks and user behaviors give rise to challenges of automatic classification, indexing, and retrieval that have been studied widely in other areas but not this emerging type of artwork.
We solicit novel contributions to multimedia research that focus on emerging type of artworks. In addition to conventional art forms like paintings and photos, we will especially encourage contributions that propose new methodologies, novel challenges, and interesting applications for emerging multimedia artworks such as comics, illustrations, micro films, animation, games, and VR/AR, which may be largely available on social media platforms and are associated with user’s comments and ratings.
Topics include, but are not limit to anlaysis and applications of the following areas:
-Creation: content synthesis and collaboration; creation of novel artworks; connecting real-world art with digital artworks
-Editing: content authoring, composition, summarization, and presentation; multimodality integration
-Indexing and retrieval: novel features and structure to index multimedia artworks; retrieval interface and model; socially-aware analysis.
-Methodology: machine learning for multimedia artworks; classification and pattern recognition for multimedia artworks
-Interaction: interaction on various devices; user in the loop of computation; human factors in artworks.
-Evaluation: dataset development; evaluation of systems for multimedia artworks; design of user study
-Novel applications: novel application scenarios; development of novel challenges and perspectives.
