Special Sessions at CBMI 2019

The Call for Special Sessions has closed. CBMI 2019 will host two special sessions (Medical Image Mining and Health (MIME) and Signals And Multimedia (SAM). Special sessions are mini-venues, each focusing on one state-of-the-art research direction within the content-based multimedia indexing field. Special session papers, which can be invited or submitted, will supplement the regular research papers and be included in the proceedings of CBMI 2019.

Usually, each special session should be comprised of four to five papers, which can be invited, or regular submissions. In order to ensure the high quality of all conference papers, all papers submitted to special sessions at CBMI 2019 will be peer-reviewed through a standard review process, including invited papers. If a special session has many high-quality submissions, some of the submissions may potentially be moved to some regular sessions.

The review process for special session papers will be coordinated with the regular technical program review process, as coordinated by the TPC chairs. The organisers of each special session must provide 1-2 reviews per submitted/invited paper, while the regular program committee will provide 1-2 reviews. Final decision on acceptance/rejection will be made in collaboration between the special session chairs and the CBMI 2019 TPC chairs.

Call For Papers

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research papers in the broad field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications. We wish to highlight significant contributions addressing the main problem of search and retrieval but also the related and equally important issues of multimedia content management, user interaction, large-scale search, learning in retrieval, social media indexing and retrieval. Additional special sessions are planned in areas such as deep learning for retrieval, social media retrieval, cultural heritage, surveillance and security.

Authors can submit full length (6 pages - to be presented as oral presentation) or short papers (4 pages - to be presented as posters). Papers can be submitted to the regular paper sessions, demo session, or to one of three special sessions on “Medical Image Mining and Health” (MIME), “Signals And Multimedia” (SAM), and “Multimedia Indexing for Comics” (MIC). Additionally demonstration papers (up to 4 pages) may also be submitted that highlight interesting and novel demos of CBMI-related technologies. The submissions are peer reviewed in a single blind process. The language of the conference is English. The CBMI 2019 conference adheres to the IEEE paper formatting guidelines. When preparing your submission, please follow the IEEE guidelines given by IEEE at the Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

The CBMI proceedings are traditionally indexed and distributed by IEEE Xplore and ACM DL. In addition, authors of the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions to a special issue of a leading journal in the field.

Topics of interest to the CBMI community include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Audio and visual and multimedia indexing
  • Multimodal and cross-modal indexing
  • Deep learning for multimedia indexing
  • Visual content extraction
  • Audio (speech, music, etc) content extraction
  • Identification and tracking of semantic regions and events
  • Social media analysis
  • Metadata generation, coding and transformation
  • Multimedia information retrieval (image, audio, video, text)
  • Mobile media retrieval
  • Event-based media processing and retrieval
  • Affective/emotional interaction or interfaces for multimedia retrieval
  • Multimedia data mining and analytics
  • Multimedia recommendation
  • Large scale multimedia database management
  • Summarization, browsing and organization of multimedia content
  • Personalization and content adaptation
  • User interaction and relevance feedback
  • Multimedia interfaces, presentation and visualization tools
  • Evaluation and benchmarking of multimedia retrieval systems
  • Applications of multimedia retrieval, e.g., medicine, lifelogs, satellite imagery, video surveillance
  • Cultural heritage applications

Call For Demos

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished demonstration papers in the broad field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications. Demonstration pages should be up to 4 pages in length and highlight interesting and novel demos of CBMI-related technologies. CBMI 2019 especially seeks novel and compelling demonstrations that highlight the potential positive impact of content-based multimedia indexing in daily life. Demonstration papers will be reviewed according to criteria such as novelty, interestingness, applications of or enhancements to state-of-the-art, and potential impact. The submissions are peer reviewed in a single blind process. The language of the workshop is English. The CBMI 2019 conference adheres to the IEEE paper formatting guidelines. When preparing your submission, please follow the IEEE guidelines given by IEEE at the Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Call For Sponsors

CBMI is the leading international conference on content-based multimedia indexing and the 17th CBMI conference in September 2019 will bring together about one hundred globally pioneering researchers and practitioners in the field for three days of scientific discussion and collaboration. CBMI publishes original, high quality papers and presentations related to all aspects of retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and analytics of multimedia content. CBMI 2019 (17th in the series) will be organised by Dublin City University (Ireland) and promises to be a highly selective event that will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. At this time the organisers of CBMI2019 are seeking sponsorship of the conference and we highlight a number of sponsorship opportunities below.
CBMI 2019 offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities suitable for organizations of all sizes. Sponsors of CBMI gain visibility for their companies and contribute to the success of the conference. Four levels of sponsorship are available at CBMI 2019 and bring the following benefits:

  • Gold sponsor, €3,000 and above: Prominent recognition as a gold sponsor on registration brochures, the proceedings and on the conference programme.
