CBMI (eighteenth edition) aims at bringing together the various
communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia
indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and
analytics. 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…
The eighteenth edition of CBMI will be organized by the CRIStAL
laboratory at University of Lille, Lille, France, following the
successful previous editions of Toulouse 1999, Brescia 2001, Rennes
2003, Riga 2005, Bordeaux 2007, London 2008, Chania 2009, Grenoble
2010, Madrid 2011, Annecy 2012, Veszprem 2013, Klagenfurt 2014,
Prague 2015, Bucharest 2016, Firenze 2017, La Rochelle 2018, and
Dublin 2019.
Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research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 the special sessions. 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 2020 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 certain 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 (e.g. MTAP - Springer), and other best papers will be invited
to submit extended versions of their contributions in a book
(ISTE/WILEY publisher).
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

## STUDENT PARTICIPATION:
We strongly encourage students to participate in CBMI-21 event and
submit their research. We strongly believe in their power and they
are the future of the research in content-based multimedia indexing.
For these reasons and for the first time in the history of the
conference, the 2021 edition of CBMI with support of ACM SIGMM (www.sigmm.org), will
sponsor several students, authors of papers submitted and accepted
by CBMI-21, and being corresponding author of a paper. The student
status will be recognized only to PhDs and master students. Certain
students will be totally sponsored, including registration fees,
accommodations and travel expenses. Other students will be partly
sponsored, including substantial reduction in the registration fees,
no cut-backs to the students’ conference experience, and budget
accommodation options and arrangement for room sharing.
Furthermore, in this edition, prizes will be awarded to the best
student poster presentations of CBMI2021. All the participants
registered to CBMI2021 as student will be automatically admitted to
the selection for the awards. All the papers accepted as poster
presentation by the Technical Program Committee (TPC), from students
will be considered for the awards, given that a full-paper
manuscript has been submitted.
The student poster awards committee will evaluate the nominated
contributions during the poster sessions of CBMI2021. The evaluation
criteria will be independently established by the Committee before
the conference and will take into account the scientific content as
well as the technical quality of the posters.
The Student Poster Awards will be announced during the Gala
Dinner, on June 29th.
## SPECIAL SESSIONS
Three special sessions will also be organized :
* Bio-inspired circuits, systems and algorithms for multimedia
* Content-based learning in astrophysics (CoBLA)
* Mining and indexing multimedia data for remote sensing of the
environment and our changing planet
