********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

Background and goals

Multimedia, computer vision, graphics, and machine learning have become
ubiquitous in modern information systems, creating new challenges for
detection, recognition, indexing, access, search, retrieval, automated
understanding, and processing, resulting in many applications based on
image and signal processing, machine learning and various multimedia
technologies.

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications,
and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia
mobile devices, have stimulated the rapid development of intelligent
applications. These key technologies, using virtual reality, augmented
reality, and computational intelligence, are creating a recent
multimedia revolution that will significantly impact a broad spectrum of
consumer, business, healthcare, educational and governmental domains.
Advancements in artificial intelligence resulted in the rapid growth of
both methods and applications of machine learning approaches in computer
vision, image processing, and analysis. The development of parallel
computing capabilities in the first decade of the 21st century that
boosted the development of deep neural networks became a real
game-changer in machine vision. The workshop covers a range of AI-based
theories, methods, algorithms, technologies, and systems for diversified
and heterogeneous digital multimedia, imaging, computer graphics and
machine learning areas.

The Multimedia Applications and Processing (MMAP) will provide an
opportunity for researchers and professionals to discuss present and
future challenges and potential collaboration for future progress in
these fields. The MMAP Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers
concerning all aspects of multimedia, vision, and graphics, ranging from
concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and
innovative applications. MMAP invites original, previously unpublished
contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or
another conference. We welcome papers covering innovative applications,
practical usage, and theoretical aspects of the abovementioned trends.

Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their
relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality,
and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.
