MAD2025 – 4th ACM International Workshop on Multimedia AI against Disinformation (MAD’25)

Disinformation (MAD’25) organized with the ACM International Conference
on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR’25)
Chicago, USA
June 30-July 3, 2025
Website: https://mad2025.aimultimedialab.ro/

**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

20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025) : Last Mile for Paper Submission

*** Last Mile for Paper Submission ***

20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025)

May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus

(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human
behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems,
studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and
information processing), is paramount.

Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design,
development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes
and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research
community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability
by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their
behavior.

The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina.
The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven,
Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago,
Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers
and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive
technology.

We welcome the following categories of papers and extended abstracts:
Technical papers that introduce novel persuasive technology approaches and solutions
alongside evidence of their potential.
Empirical studies which seek to provide evidence and explanation of methods, principles and
theories in persuasive systems.
Conceptual-theoretical papers which primarily seek to contribute to the general
understanding of the field’s core themes and specificities.
Other papers, e.g. literature reviews or experience reports.
SCOPE

The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
Persuasive systems’ design
Behavior change support systems
Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualization
Interactive agents in persuasive systems
(Generative) AI for persuasive technology
Tailored and personalized persuasion
Gamification for persuasion
Evaluation and validation of persuasive applications
Fitting methods for development, evaluation and implementation of persuasive systems
Optimizing engagement with persuasive systems
Software architectures and technical infrastructures for persuasive systems
Smart environments, e.g. IoT, and persuasion
Digital Marketing, eCommerce, eTourism and SMART ecosystems
Motivational, cognitive and perceptual factors in persuasive technology
Application domains for persuasive technologies such as safety, healthy living, sustainable
behaviors, learning and training, marketing and commerce, work environments, organizations
Positive technology
Humanizing and/or dehumanizing effects of persuasive technology
Values and ethics in persuasive technology
Privacy, perceived security and trust in persuasive technology
Resilience and counter-persuasion
Detecting persuasive strategies in social media posts
Encouraging adherence to safety measures in pandemic situations

Questions that we hope to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
How to recognize and demonstrate the real life effects of persuasive technology on people’s
attitudes and behaviours?
How to conduct studies that not just show their effectiveness but are also able to explain in
more detail why a design or intervention works?
How to design an evaluation study so that it yields insights that are applicable to other
designs or interventions?
How theoretical insight can help improve application and/or intervention planning and design?
How can design and intervention studies improve theory?
SUBMISSION TYPES
