Call for Regular Papers
CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and analytics.
The organisers of CBMI 2025 call for novel and original research papers that are addressing the various topics of interest related to the conference. We encourage contributions both on theoretical aspects and applications of CBMI in the new era of Artificial Intelligence and foundation/language-backed-backed models for multimedia for multimedia. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished research papers highlighting significant contributions addressing these topics.
Authors can submit full papers (6 pages + up to 2 pages for references) or short papers (4 pages + up to 2 pages references).
Submissions to CBMI are peer reviewed in a double blind process and the language of the conference is English. For full details on the submission process see the submission guidelines.
Authors of high-quality papers accepted to the conference may be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions to a special journal issue.
Call for Special Session Papers
The organisers of CBMI 2025 call for novel and original research papers that are relevant for the following special sessions:
-
MmIXR: Multimedia Indexing for XR is a special session that encompasses methods for processes during Extended Reality authoring as well as during the immersive experience.
-
ExMA: Explainability in Multimedia Analysis is a special session that aims to gather scientific contributions that will help improve the trust and transparency of multimedia analysis systems.
-
VR4B: Video Retrieval for Beginners is a special session that aims at providing better insights into how interactive video retrieval systems are usable by users who have a solid IT background, but are not familiar with the details of the system.
-
UHBER: Multimodal Data Analysis for Understanding of Human Behaviour, Emotions and their Reasons is a special session that addresses the processing of all types of data related to understanding of human behaviour, emotion, and their reasons, such as current or past context.
-
AMHTAI: Advancing Medical Healthcare through AI is a special session that focuses on the latest advancements in AI-driven medical multimedia processing, IoT-enabled pervasive healthcare, and human-computer interaction.
-
Multimedia AI in Modern CB Retrieval: Challenges and Applications is a special session that focuses on AI-powered CB retrieval across diverse domains, including multimedia verification and fact-checking, healthcare, large-scale news retrieval, and 3D multimedia analysis.
Please see https://www.cbmi2025.org/cfp/special-sessions/ for more details.
Call for Demonstrations
CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and analytics. We invite authors to report on novel and compelling demonstrations in all topic areas of CBMI. Demonstration papers are subject to peer review according to criteria such as novelty, interestingness, applications of or enhancements to state-of-the-art, and potential impact.
The length of the papers should be up to 4 pages. An additional 1-2 pages should be appended to the paper that illustrate how the demo will be conducted on-site at CBMI 2025. This additional content will not be published in the conference proceedings, should the submission be accepted. Including a link to a video showing the demo in action is highly encouraged. The submissions are peer-reviewed in a single-blind process. For full details on the submission process see the submission guidelines.
Presenters are expected to bring the necessary equipment (computers, etc.) themselves. The conference will provide a table, power outlet, screen, wireless (shared) internet and a poster board. If you have special needs (e.g., more space), please include a related note in your demo submission.
