ACMMM25 Health, AI & Gamification Hackathon

33rd ACM International Conference on Multimedia

Dublin, Ireland 27-31.10.2025

Websitehttps://acmmm2025.org/

ACM Multimedia is the premier international conference in the area of multimedia within the field of computer science. The 2025 ACM Multimedia conference takes place in Dublin. Ireland, from 27 October – 31 October 2025. Multimedia research focuses on technologies that enable the use and exchange of content integrating the multiple perspectives of different digital modalities, including images, text, video, audio, speech, music, and sensor data.
ACMMM25 Health, AI & Gamification Hackathon
Join us for an exhilarating 48-hour hackathon at ACM Multimedia 2025 in Dublin from 26-28 October! This event brings together innovators, developers, and enthusiasts to tackle real-world health challenges through the power of games and AI.

A hackathon is an intense, collaborative experience where participants brainstorm ideas, form teams, and develop prototypes within a short time frame, culminating in a final presentation to showcase their creations. With a focus on leveraging multimedia, gamification, and large language models (LLMs), participants will explore how these technologies can support public health and health care.

The core creative and implementation process remains driven by human ingenuity. The hackathon will be a hybrid event, allowing participants to join in person or virtually. It starts with online prep talks covering essential topics like game development tools, health data analysis, and integrating LLMs.

We seek applications and games that combine at least two of the following: health, gamification, and multimodal AI. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, health & lifestyle applications, games for well-being & engagement, and tools for detection and personalized intervention for health conditions using multimodal data.
Specific examples include:
– Personal assistant apps for nutrition, fitness, or lifestyle.
– Analysis and recommendation tools based on personal lifelogging data.
–  Apps using generative multimodal AI to promote health.
–  Games promoting mental or physical health.
–  Games simulating or communicating social issues.
–  Social engagement and community-building games and apps.
–  Educational platforms using gamification and multimodal AI for health literacy.
–  Interactive art installations for mindfulness via AI visuals/sounds.
–  Tools for early detection and personalized mental health intervention.
–  Applications for accessible healthcare with multimodal AI for disabilities.
–  Gamified rehabilitation programs with multimodal feedback.

CNSM – IWNC: 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing

LAST CHANCE – FIRM DEADLINE: August 28, 2025

 

****************************

2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC)

colocated with the 21st International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)

October 27th-31st, 2025, Bologna, Italy

https://sites.google.com/view/iwnc2025/home-page

 

****************************

 

The 2nd Workshop on Integrated Wireless Networking and Computing (IWNC) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of advanced wireless communication and network-centric computing. As modern wireless networks, such as IoT, Wi-Fi, and 5G/6G, grow in scale and complexity, new challenges emerge in their design, optimization, and operation. Addressing these challenges increasingly requires integrated approaches that combine communication protocols with intelligent computing capabilities, both at the edge and within the network itself.

 

Key to this integration are techniques that jointly optimize multiple network functions, such as resource allocation, scheduling, and link adaptation, while taking advantage of AI/ML-assisted methods to make networks more adaptive, efficient, and autonomous. In parallel, the rise of In-Network Computing (INC), enabled by advances in programmable data planes and languages like P4, is reshaping the way computation and data processing are distributed across the network fabric.

 

IWNC welcomes original contributions that explore synergies between wireless networking and computing, including but not limited to:

 

  • AI/ML-driven optimization in wireless systems
  • Joint design of communication and computation functions
  • Programmable wireless networks and smart NICs
  • In-Network Computing architectures and applications
  • Cross-layer and cross-domain design approaches
  • Early-stage research ideas and system prototypes

 

This workshop fosters discussion and collaboration across the wireless, networking, and computing communities, encouraging innovative perspectives and interdisciplinary solutions.

***************************************************************************

The journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL) invites submissions
for a special issue dedicated to NLP for Health and Accessibility. This
issue aims to explore the contributions and challenges of NLP in rapidly
evolving domains such as medicine, public health, disability,
accessibility, and more broadly in contexts of care, prevention, and
assistance.

At the crossroads of computational linguistics, artificial intelligence,
and health sciences, NLP raises both major opportunities and challenges,
whether technical, methodological, ethical, or societal. This special
issue seeks original and high-quality research papers addressing these
aspects and encourages interdisciplinary work, underrepresented
languages, and inclusive perspectives.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Modeling clinical text (tagging, parsing, entity recognition, relation
extraction, summarization)
* De-identification, privacy, and confidentiality of health data
* Disease detection and automated coding of clinical documents
* Structuring and extracting information from clinical texts
* Combining structured and unstructured health data (e.g., multimodal
integration)
* Domain adaptation and transfer learning for clinical NLP
* Generation of clinical notes and reports
* Annotation schemes and evaluation methodologies for health-related NLP
* Bias, fairness, and equity in clinical and accessibility contexts
* Explainability and interpretability of models in health applications
* Multimodal approaches (text, images, speech, sensors)
* NLP for disability and accessibility: text simplification,
easy-to-read content, sign language processing, assistive technologies

Submissions may be case studies, methodological developments,
evaluations, or critical and interdisciplinary analyses.

Important Dates

* Submission deadline: October 20, 2025
* Notification after first review: December 15, 2025
* Notification after second review: March 16, 2025
* Publication: June, 2026
