===================================
The Annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR)
offers a great opportunity for exchanging leading-edge multimedia retrieval
ideas among researchers, practitioners and other potential users of
multimedia retrieval systems. ICMR 2014 is seeking original high quality
submissions addressing innovative research in the broad field of multimedia
retrieval. 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, and
community-based management. The conference will be held in Glasgow during
1-5 April 2014.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Content- and context-based indexing, search and retrieval of images and video
* Multimedia content search and browsing on the Web
* Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for audio, image, video and 3D data
* Multimedia content analysis and understanding
* Semantic retrieval of visual content
* Learning and relevance feedback in media retrieval
* Query models, paradigms, and languages for multimedia retrieval
* Multimodal media search
* Human perception based multimedia retrieval
* Studies of information-seeking behavior among image/video users
* Affective/emotional interaction or interfaces for image/video retrieval
* HCI issues in multimedia retrieval
* Evaluation of multimedia retrieval systems
* High performance multimedia indexing algorithms
* Community-based multimedia content management
* Applications of Multimedia Retrieval: Medicine, Multimodal Lifelogs, Satellite Imagery, etc.
* Image/video summarization and visualization

Based on the Chinese Computing Federation Conference Ranking (2013):
ACM ICMR is the #1 Multimedia Retrieval conference in the world and
the#4 conference in the category of multimedia and graphics.

All papers should be prepared and submitted according to the following
guidelines.

Paper format
===============================
Full papers must not exceed 8 pages in total. Papers must be formatted
according to ACM guidelines and must be in PDF format. Papers exceeding the
limits will be rejected without review.

Submissions
===============================
Submitted papers must describe unpublished original work, emphasizing
completed or advanced research and a parallel submission to other venues
should be clearly indicated to the program committee.
Submissions are double-blind and will be reviewed by at least three program
committee members.

Double-blind Review
===============================
The ICMR uses a double-blind review process for regular paper selection.
Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and
reviewers should not know the name(s) of the authors.
Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the authors.

* Do not put your name(s) under the title.
* Avoid using phrases such as "our previous work" when referring to earlier
publications by the authors.
* Remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments
(e.g., co-workers and grant IDs).
* Check supplemental material (e.g., titles in the video clips, or
supplementary documents) for information that may identify the authors
identity.
* Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
