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
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.
