ACMMM 2025: Call for Papers

The 33rd ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACMMM 2025) calls for research papers presenting novel theoretical and algorithmic solutions to address problems across multimedia and related application fields. The conference also welcomes papers presenting novel, thought-provoking ideas, and promising results, especially surrounding multimodal AI, such as multi-agent, real-time human and machine intelligence working collaboratively.

Conference Themes

The conference invites papers in five major themes of multimedia: Generative AI, Engagement, Experience, Systems and Understanding, as described here.

Submission Guidelines

• Submitted papers may consist of up to 8 pages, plus additional pages for references (the reference pages are not counted towards the page limit).
• Submit your Regular Paper via OpenReview.
• All listed authors must have an up-to-date OpenReview profile. Incomplete OpenReview profile of any co-author is sufficient ground for desk rejection. To be considered complete, each author profile must be properly attributed with mandatory fields, including: current and past institutional affiliation (going back at least 5 years), homepage, DBLP (if there is prior publication), ORCID, Advisors and Recent Publications (if any).
• Submitted papers (.pdf format) must use the ACM Article Template.
• Ensure that you submit your papers with the full and final list of authors in the correct order. The author list registered for each submission is not allowed to change in any way after the abstract submission deadline, 04 April, 2025 (typos are correctable).
• Paper submissions must conform with the “double-blind” review policy. Do not put the authors’ names under the title, avoid using phrases such as “our previous work” when referring to earlier publications by the authors, remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments, check supplemental material for information that may identify the authors’ identities, and avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
• Papers submitted to ACM Multimedia must be the original work of the authors and may not be simultaneously under review elsewhere.
• Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of an ACM published Work. The use of generative AI tools and technologies to create content is permitted but must be fully disclosed in the Work.
• Overlength papers will be rejected without review.
• Papers without appropriate blinding will be rejected without review.
