Multimedia is increasingly becoming the “biggest big data” as the most important and valuable source for insights and information. It covers from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world. As such, multimedia big data is spurring on a tremendous amount of research and development of related technologies and applications.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM), jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing) and IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), is a world’s premier forum of leading scholars in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications. The sixth BigMM conference is jointly hosted by the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), will be held at School of Computer & Systems Sciences (SC&SS) in JNU, New Delhi from Septemeber 24 to 26 in 2020.

The conference aims to bring together researchers from different areas and solicits high-quality original research papers relevant in any aspect of multimedia big data but not limited to the following broad themes:

Multimedia and User Engagement

    Social media mining; affective computing
    Multimedia search; ranking; summarization
