Dear Multimedia Researchers/Users,

We would like to welcome all of you to participate in ACM Multimedia 2020.
The main conference will take place from 13 - 15 October, and workshops and
tutorials will be held on October 12 and 16. This year's conference will be
held 100% virtually due to COVID-19, which offers more flexible forms of
participation. Online content (pre-recorded videos and paper information)
will be available a few days before the conference and the conference week
is for live interactions via Zoom meetings.

The highlights of the ACM MM 2020 program are summarized as below:

full paper submissions (increased 81.4% compared with the number of last
year) for the main conference tracks
