| Sumario: | ACM ICMR is one of the premier, annual conferences in the general multimedia community mainly sponsored by ACM SIGMM. This conference focuses on multimedia information retrieval with a wide spectrum of topics ranging from multimedia/multimodal content understanding and learning, multimedia/multimodal information search and retrieval, all the way to multimedia/multimodal data security and processing. For the conference regular program, we have received 83 submissions to the long paper track and another 23 submissions to the short paper track. The submissions are from all over the world. The program committee, led by the program chairs, has done a fabulous job in managing reviewing all the submissions. Each submission has received at least three independent reviews. In the borderline cases, additional reviews are added in order to reach a fair decision. After the rigorous reviews, we have accepted 26 long papers, resulting in an acceptance rate of 31%, and all the short submissions as poster presentations. We would like to send our warm congratulations to the authors of all the accepted papers on being selected to be able to present their work in this conference. Consequently, the regular program of this conference consists of the oral presentations of long papers and spotlight presentations of the short papers together with the poster presentations of the short papers. We shall also have a dedicated session to the candidates of the accepted long papers for competing for the best paper award and the best student paper award. In addition to the regular program, this conference also has a wide suite of other technical and social events. The technical program also includes special session presentations organized by our special session leaders that are selected from careful reviews of the received special session proposals, demo presentations that are selected from the careful reviews of the received demo proposals, the new brave ideas session selected from all the submissions that are considered to have new and brave ideas, a doctoral symposium session that consists of presentations by doctoral students about their thesis research that fits into the theme of the conference, a panel discussion that focuses on a hot topic with perspectives from a group of leaders in this community, and a session for industrial and practitioner day where leading industrial partners give presentations and demos about their current technologies supporting the business related to this community. Of course, the regular program offers keynote speeches from well-known leaders to provide their insight and inspirations to the audience. In addition to the regular program, on the first day of the conference before the regular program begins, we have two tutorials and three workshops covering a diverse range of topics related to multimedia retrieval and search.
