### Scope
ACM GoodIT 2023 will feature special tracks whose aim is to focus on a
specific topic of interest related to the overall scope of the
conference. We solicit proposals for special tracks to be held within
the main conference and whose publications will be included in
conference proceedings. Tracks proposals can focus on any contemporary
themes that highlight social good aspects in the design,
implementation, deployment, securing, sustainability and evaluation of
IT technologies.
### Track Proposal Format
A special track proposal must contain the following information:
– Title of the special track
– The names of the organizers (indicatively, two) with
affiliations, contact information, and a single paragraph of a brief
bio.
– A short description of the scope and topics of the track (max
1/2 page) and a brief explanation of: (1) why the topic is timely and
important; (2) why the topic is related to the conference’s main
theme; (3) why the track may attract a significant number of
submissions of good quality.
– The plan to disseminate the call for papers of the special
track for achieving a reasonable number of paper submissions (a list
of emailing lists will help).
– A tentative program committee list (at least ten experts,
including the organizers).
– A draft call for papers (max 1 page).
– (Optional) Indication if a journal special issue is
associated with the track, possibly with information on the process of
selecting papers.
### Special Track Proposal Submission Guidelines
The proposal should be submitted as a single PDF file via email to the
special track chairs. In particular, send the email to:
– Valentina Nisi, valentina.nisi[AT]tecnico.ulisboa.pt
– Nathalie Mitton, nathalie.mitton[AT]inria.fr
– (in cc) Catia Prandi, catia.prandi2[AT]unibo.it
The subject of the e-mail must be: “GoodIT 2023 – special track
proposal”. The special tracks chairs may ask proposers to supply
additional information during the review period.
### Publication of papers submitted to the accepted special tracks
Papers submitted to each accepted special track have to satisfy the
same criteria as for the main/regular track. They must be original
works and must not have been previously published. They have to be
peer-reviewed by the track’s Program Committee (at least three reviews
per submitted paper will be required and the chairs of each accepted
special track need to manage the review process). The final version of
the papers must follow the formatting instructions of the main
conference. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must
register and present the work in presence at the conference;
otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All
accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference
proceedings published in ACM Digital Library. Optionally, the special
track may provide an option for publishing extended versions of
selected papers in a special issue of a journal.

-Multimedia content-based search and retrieval,
-Multimedia-content-based (or hybrid) recommender systems,
-Large-scale and Web-scale multimedia retrieval,
-Multimedia content extraction, analysis, and indexing,
-Multimedia analytics and knowledge discovery,
-Multimedia machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks,
-Relevance feedback, active learning, and transfer learning,
-Fine-grained retrieval for multimedia,
-Event-based indexing and multimedia understanding,
-Semantic descriptors and novel high- or mid-level features,
-Crowdsourcing, community contributions, and social multimedia,
-Multimedia retrieval leveraging quality, production cues, style, framing, and affect,
-Synthetic media generation and detection,
-Narrative generation and narrative analysis,
-User intent and human perception in multimedia retrieval,
-Query processing and relevance feedback,
-Multimedia browsing, summarization, and visualization,
-Multimedia beyond video, including 3D data and sensor data,
-Mobile multimedia browsing and search,
-Multimedia analysis/search acceleration, e.g., GPU, FPGA,
-Benchmarks and evaluation methodologies for multimedia analysis/search,
-Privacy-aware multimedia retrieval methods and systems,
-Fairness and explainability in multimedia analysis/search,

REVIEW PROCESS
______________
ACM ICMR follows a double-blind review process for full paper selection. Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers should not know the name(s) of the author(s). Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the authors:
Do not put your names under the title,
Avoid using phrases such as “our previous work” when referring to
earlier publications by the authors,
Remove information that may identify the authors in the
acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs),
Check supplemental material for information that may identify the
authors’ identity,
Avoid providing links to Websites that identify the authors.
Abstract and Keywords
The abstract and the keywords form the primary source for assigning papers to reviewers. So make sure that they form a concise and complete summary of your paper with sufficient information to let someone who has not read the full paper know what it is about.
