on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR’25)
Chicago, USA
June 30-July 3, 2025

**CALL FOR PAPERS**
Modern communication does not rely anymore solely on mainstream media
like newspapers or television, but rather takes place over social
networks, in real-time, and with live interactions among users. The
speedup of distribution and the amount of information available,
however, also led to an increased amount of misleading content,
disinformation and propaganda. Conversely, the fight against
disinformation, in which news agencies and NGOs (among others) take part
on a daily basis to avoid the risk of citizens’ opinions being
distorted, became even more crucial and demanding, especially for what
concerns sensitive topics such as politics, health and religion.
Disinformation campaigns are leveraging, among others, AI-based tools
for content generation and modification: hyper-realistic visual, speech,
textual and video content have emerged under the collective name of
“deepfakes”, and more recently with the use of Large Language Models
(LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), undermining the perceived
credibility of media content. It is, therefore, even more crucial to
counter these advances by devising new robust and trustworthy AI tools
able to detect the presence of inaccurate, synthetic and manipulated
content, accessible to journalists and fact-checkers.
Future multimedia disinformation detection research relies on the
combination of different modalities and on the adoption of the latest
advances of deep learning approaches and architectures. These raise new
challenges and questions that need to be addressed to reduce the effects
of disinformation campaigns. The workshop, in its fourth edition,
welcomes contributions related to different aspects of AI-powered
disinformation detection, analysis and mitigation.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Disinformation detection in multimedia content (e.g., video, audio,
texts, images)
* Multimodal verification methods
* Synthetic and manipulated media detection
* Multimedia forensics
* Disinformation spread and effects in social media
* Analysis of disinformation campaigns in societally-sensitive domains
* Robustness of media verification against adversarial attacks and
real-world complexities
* Fairness and non-discrimination of disinformation detection in
multimedia content
* Explaining disinformation detection results to non-expert users
* Temporal and cultural aspects of disinformation
* Dataset sharing and governance in AI for disinformation
* Datasets for disinformation detection and multimedia verification
* Open resources, e.g., datasets, software tools
* Large Language Models for analyzing and mitigating disinformation
campaigns
* Large Multimodal Models for media verification
* Multimedia verification systems and applications
* System fusion, ensembling and late fusion techniques
* Benchmarking and evaluation frameworks
**IMPORTANT DATES**
* Paper submission due April 10, 2025
* Acceptance notification April 29, 2025
* Camera-ready papers due May 5, 2025
* Workshop @ ICMR 2025 June 30, 2025

CERTIFICATE & 8 ECTS:
The 8th Advanced Course on Data Science & Machine Learning – ACDL 2025 is a full-immersion five-day Course at the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA (Castiglione della Pescaia – Grosseto – Tuscany, Italy) on cutting-edge advances in Deep Learning, Data Science and Generative AI with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for PhD students, Post-Docs, junior academics (only up to assistant professors), early career researchers, and industry leaders (and highly motivated, promising and brilliant Master students / BSc students). Participants will also have the chance to present their results with talks, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial, professional and productive environment.
PhD students, PostDocs, Industry Practitioners and Junior Academics (only up to assistant professors) will be typical profiles of the ACDL attendants. The Course will involve a total of 36–40 hours of lectures, according to the academic system the final achievement will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students (and some strongly motivated Master Student – BSc Student) attending the Course.
Please check the FAQ: https://acdl2025.icas.events/faq/
Language: English.
To participate in the ACDL 2025, all attendants must
(1/2) register for the course (by April 23, 2025) and
(2/2) book accommodation at the course venue, “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA” (by April 23, 2025); all attendants must stay at the “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA”. Booking accommodation at the Riva del Sole must be made exclusively using the accommodation form attached to the registration confirmation email. No other methods must be used (if you use other booking methods the hotel will cancel the reservation). Finally, it is not possible to extend the stay, the special accommodation rates are valid only for the period of the course, no exceptions will be made. To contact the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA (the course venue) use the following email: booking.events@rivadelsole.it
Once accommodation has been booked at “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA“, the participant must send this information (including the Booking Number) to the ACDL organizing committee (acdl@icas.cc).
ACDL is a residential course, so all lecturers and participants must reside in the same Hotel (Riva del Sole Resort & SPA). No exceptions are made.
For privacy reasons, the Hotel cannot match people. If you have someone to share the apartment with (or a double room in Hotel), please send to the Hotel ( booking.events@rivadelsole.it ) the name, surname and email address. Otherwise the solution is to book a hotel room in single use.
Please note that only ACDL registered participants can book a room (in hotel or apartment) at the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA with the accommodation form attached in the registration email and with the ACDL Discounted Rates.
