ACM ICMR 2025 offers a great opportunity for exchanging cutting edge multimedia retrieval ideas among researchers, practitioners, and other potential users of multimedia retrieval systems. This conference is set up to illuminate the state of the art in multimedia (text, image, video, audio, etc.) retrieval.

ACM ICMR 2025 is accepting proposals for technical demonstrators that will be showcased during the conference. The demo session will include demonstrations of latest innovations by research and engineering groups in industry, academia, and government. ACM ICMR 2025 is seeking original high-quality submissions addressing innovative research in the broad field of multimedia retrieval, as advertised in the ACM ICMR 2025 general call for papers.

We solicit high quality contributions of demonstrators with innovative interfaces and visualizations showcasing new opportunities, functionalities, or the use of multimedia retrieval in new application domains.

ACM ICMR is also accepting proposals for scientific challenges in multimedia retrieval. Such challenges should outline the task to be solved and the data to be used in the challenges, plus evaluation measures to be used for the ranking. The challenge description will be published in the proceedings and space will be made available for the challenges at the meeting.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Multimedia content-based search and retrieval
• Multimedia content-based (or hybrid) recommender systems
• Large-scale and web-scale multimedia retrieval
• Multimedia content extraction, analysis, and indexing
• Multimedia analytics and knowledge discovery
• Multimedia machine learning, deep learning, and neural nets
• Relevance feedback, active learning, and transfer learning
• Zero-shot learning and fine-grained retrieval for multimedia
• Event-based indexing and multimedia understanding
• Semantic descriptors and novel high- or mid-level features
• Crowdsourcing, community contributions, and social multimedia
• Multimedia retrieval leveraging quality, production cues, style, framing, affect
• Narrative generation and narrative analysis
• User intent and human perception in multimedia retrieval
• Query processing and relevance feedback
• Multimedia browsing, summarization, and visualization
• Multimedia beyond video, including 3D data and sensor data
• Mobile multimedia browsing and search
• Multimedia analysis/search acceleration, e.g., GPU, FPGA
• Benchmarks and evaluation methodologies for multimedia analysis/search
• Applications of multimedia retrieval, e.g., medicine, sports, commerce, lifelogs, travel, security, environment.

Submissions should be done with the ACM ICMR submission system and will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the ICMR proceedings and need to be showcased during the demo or challenge sessions at the conference.
