This workshop will support two tracks of research contributions:

1. Track 1: Interested authors are invited to apply their approaches and methods on a novel High-Level Video Understanding (HLVU) dataset being made available by the workshop organizers. These include 10 movies with a Creative Commons license. This dataset will be annotated by human assessors and ground truth (Ontology of relations, entities, actions & events, names and images of all main characters, Knowledge Graph for 50% of the movies) provided to participating researchers. The organizers will also support evaluation and scoring of two main query types distributed with the dataset:

-Multiple choice question answering on part of Knowledge Graph for selected movies.
-Possible path analysis between persons / entities of interest in a Knowledge Graph extracted from selected movies.

2. Track 2: Contributions related (but not limited) to the following topics applied on the provided HLVU dataset or any external datasets are invited:

Multimodal feature extraction for movies and extended video
Multimodal fusion of computer vision, text/language processing and audio for extended video / movie analysis
Machine Learning methods for movie-based multimodal interaction
Sentiment analysis and multimodal dialogue modeling for movies
Knowledge Graph generation, analysis, and extraction for movies and extended videos

Submission :

We invite submissions of long papers (up to 8 pages excluding references), short papers (up to 4 pages excluding references), and extended abstracts (up to 1 page excluding references), formatted according to the ACM template available here (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-master.zip), or directly from Overleaf (www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ). Submissions shall be single blind, i.e. do not need to be anonymized. Workshop papers will be indexed by ACM Digital Library in an adjunct proceedings.

Papers submitted at ICMI 2020 must not have been published previously. A paper is considered to have been published previously if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A paper substantially similar in content to one submitted to ICMI 2020 should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or workshop.

ICMI 2020 does not consider a paper on arXiv.org as a dual submission.

All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair :
