Call for Dataset Paper Submissions

 

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.

For the first time this year, ACM Multimedia is calling for papers constructing and describing new  datasets that will be of interest to the ACM MM community.

Submissions should include information relating to:

  • a description of the dataset and the dataset generation process
  • licencing and access
  • potential applications
  • reproducibility and supplementary materials
  • ethical considerations and privacy (if applicable)
  • A baseline solution (if applicable)

Accepted papers will be presented between 29-31 October 2025 during the main conference in the main conference space. All submissions will be juried by the datasets track program committee. The committee will review submissions based on the following criteria:

  • Originality of the dataset
  • Usefulness of the dataset to the community
  • Quality of dataset description
