After successful editions since 1999 in France, Italy, UK, Spain, Ireland, Austria… the 20th International Conference on Content-based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2023) will be held in Orleans, France, on September 20-22, 2023.

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research papers in the broad field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications. We wish to highlight significant contributions addressing the main problem of search and retrieval. This call also includes artificial intelligence inmultimedia analysis, user interaction, social media indexing and retrieval. In addition, special sessions on specific technical aspects or application domains are planned, such as Multimedia for Healthcare, Explainability of AI tools in Multimedia, Physical models in Multimedia mining…

The CBMI proceedings are traditionally indexed and distributed by ACM DL. Best papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions to a special issue of a leading journal in the field.

Topics of interest to the CBMI community include, but are not limited to, the following:

Content analysis and indexing
Audio and visual and multimedia content mining
Multimodal and cross-modal indexing
New AI /Deep Learning approaches for content understanding
Social media analysis
Metadata generation, coding and transformation
Activity recognition and event-based multimedia indexing Search, retrieval and recommendation
Multimedia information retrieval (image, audio, video, text)
