ICMR - International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval

The ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) is a merger of the International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR) and the Multimedia Information Retrieval  (MIR) series.  The ICMR conference series is supported by the ACM SIGMM and exists primarily to illuminate the state of the art in multimedia retrieval for both researchers and practitioners.  Sessions discussing the current state of the art, directions for the future, large-scale media evaluations, and demonstrations of current technology are encouraged.  The main objectives of ICMR are the following:

1. To provide a setting for the presentation and discussion of high-quality original research papers in all aspects of multimedia retrieval.

2. To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and practitioners in the field, ideally by maintaining a separate "industry" track.

3. To provide a range of complementary events such as panel sessions, exhibitions, workshops, and large-scale media evaluations.

4. To provide suitable facilities for informal networking and exchange of ideas between delegates.
