*Call for Multimedia Grand Challenge Papers*



The Multimedia Grand Challenge presents a set of problems and issues from
industry leaders and top academic institutions, geared to engage the
Multimedia research community in solving relevant, interesting and
challenging questions for multimedia on a 3-5 year vision. The Multimedia
Grand Challenge was first presented as part of ACM Multimedia 2009 and has
established itself as a prestigious competition in the multimedia
community. This year’s conference will continue the tradition with three
challenges:

* Social Media Prediction

* The 2nd MSR Video to Language Challenge

* Lane Level Localization on a 3D Map

Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings, and
will be presented in a special event during the conference. At the
conference, finalists will be requested to introduce their solutions, give
a quick demo, and take questions from the judges and the audience. Winners
will be selected for Multimedia Grand Challenge awards based on their
presentation.
