Call for Special Sessions Submissions

CBMI 2026 aims to host special sessions during the conference. Special sessions are mini-venues, each focusing on topic within the content-based multimedia indexing field which is not directly covered by the list of topics for the conference, but which are beneficial to the community.

Special session should include four to five papers, which can be invited, or regular submissions. Special session papers will supplement the regular research papers and be included in the proceedings of CBMI 2026.

In order to ensure the high quality of all conference papers, all papers submitted to special sessions at CBMI 2026 will be peer-reviewed through a standard review process, including invited papers.

The organizers of each special session must provide 1-2 reviews per submitted/invited paper, while the regular program committee will provide 1-2 reviews. Final decision on acceptance/rejection will be made in collaboration between the special session chairs (Julien Aligon, University of Toulouse Capitole, France - Jenny Benois Pineau, University of Bordeaux, France - Stefanos Vrochilis, Information Technologies Institute, Greece) and CBMI 2026 TPC chairs (Annamaria Mesaros, Tampere University, Finland - Alain Crouzil, University of Toulouse, France - Cathal Gurrin, Dublin City University, Ireland).
