ACM Multimedia invites researchers and practitioners from all over the world to submit their innovative papers to the Brave New Ideas (BNI) Track of ACM Multimedia 2023. The BNI track aims to promote new and visionary ideas that can lead the multimedia research community towards new directions and challenges. We are looking for papers that challenge the status quo and present new and creative perspectives on multimedia research.

The BNI track seeks visionary ideas that have the potential for high impact, while still being high risk. Papers may introduce new research areas or approaches, propose new applications, paradigms, and perspectives, and stimulate discussions in the research community.

TOPICS:

Papers submitted to the BNI track can take one of three approaches:

• an extensive meta-review of existing work that supports the feasibility of the idea;
• an extensive review of existing work that highlights shortcomings in current research approaches;
• (light) experimental or theoretical validation of the paper’s BNI thesis.

We encourage submissions that propose new ideas, even if they do not have large-scale experimental results or comparisons to the state-of-the-art.

SUBMISSIONS:

Submissions should not exceed six pages (excluding references and supplementary material) and should be submitted to the “Brave New Ideas” Track for consideration. For more information on submission guidelines and format, please refer to the main conference call for papers (https://www.acmmm2023.org/cfp/). Submissions are double-blind and will be reviewed by a set of independent reviewers, and the decisions will be made on the basis of their feedback. Review criteria are scientific impact, intellectual rigor, and a compelling case for the paper to be innovative in the sense described above.
