Topics: affective human machine interaction affective/emotional content analysis in multimedia affective generation in social multimedia social interaction with artificial agents
Affective social multimedia computing is an emergent research topic for both affective computing and multimedia research communities. Social multimedia is fundamentally changing how we communicate, interact, and collaborate with other people in our daily lives. Comparing with well-organized broadcast news and professionally made videos such as commercials, TV shows, and movies, social multimedia media computing imposes great challenges to research communities. Social multimedia contains much affective information. Effective extraction of affective information from social multimedia can greatly help social multimedia computing (e.g., processing, index, retrieval, and understanding). Although much progress have been made in traditional multimedia research on multimedia content analysis, indexing, and retrieval based on subjective concepts such as emotion, aesthetics, and preference, affective social multimedia computing is a new research area. The affective social multimedia computing aims to proceed affective information from social multi-media. For massive and heterogeneous social media data, the research requires multidisciplinary understanding of content and perceptual cues from social multimedia. From the multimedia perspective, the research relies on the theoretical and technological findings in affective computing, machine learning, pattern recognition, signal/multimedia processing, computer vision, speech processing, behavior and social psychology. Affective analysis of social multimedia is attracting growing attention from industry and businesses that provide social networking sites, content-sharing services, distribute and host the media. This workshop focuses on the analysis of affective signals in interaction (multimodal analyses enabling artificial agents in Human-Machine Interaction, social Interaction with artificial agents) and social multimedia (e.g., twitter, wechat, weibo, youtube, facebook, etc).
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
-
Long papers/Short papers relevant to the themes of the workshop
-
1.5-pages* abstracts relevant to the themes of the workshop.
Papers and abstracts should be submitted through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asmmc21
Format
Please note that ICMI 2021 will use a new ACM Publication System (TAPS) process. This means submitted papers should follow the instructions and use templates given in the following link: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow
All authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format instead of the previous two-column format. We invite submissions of long papers, short papers, and extended abstracts formatted according to the new ICMI guidelines. It means:
-
Long papers (8 pages in two-column -> 13~14 pages in one column + references)
-
Short papers (4 pages in two-column) -> 7 pages in one column+ references)
-
Extended abstracts (1 page in two-column) -> 1.5 pages in one column, Abstracts can contain Figures and/or Tables.
Template
Please refer to the instructions on the http://icmi.acm.org/2021/index.php?id=authors.
-
(Word template) Write your paper using the Submission Template (https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow). Follow the embedded instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is required at this point.
-
(Latex template) Please use the latest version of the Primary Article Template - LaTeX (1.78; published May 25, 2021) to create your paper submission. Use the “manuscript” call to create a single column format.

List of Topics
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th ASMMC workshop has been successfully held in Xi’an, China on September 21, 2015, Seattle, USA on July 15, 2016, Stockholm, Sweden on August 25, 2017, Seoul, Korea on October 26, 2018, and Cambridge, UK on July 2, 2019 respectively. We take the 6th ASMMC to ACM ICMI 2021 come back again to Affective Computing & Intelligent Interaction for investigating affective computing technology to become available and accessible to education, health, transport, cities, home and entertainments.
It seeks contributions on various aspects of affective computing in social multimedia on related theory, methodology, algorithms and techniques.
Workshop Scope
The workshop will address, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Affective human-machine interaction or human-human interaction
- Affective/Emotional content analysis of images, videos, music, metadata (text, symbols, etc.)
- Affective indexing, ranking, and retrieval on big social media data
- Affective computing in social multimedia by multimodal integration (face expression, gesture, posture, speech, text/language)
- Emotional implicit tagging and interactive systems
- User interests and behavior modeling in social multimedia
- Video and image summarization based on affect
- Affective analysis of social media and harvesting the affective response of crowd
- Affective generation in social multimedia, expressive text-to-speech and expressive language translation
- Zero/One/Few-shot learning for emotion recognition
- Applications of affective social multimedia computing
- Multimodal Analyses enabling Artificial Agents in Human-Machine Interaction
- Social Interaction with Artificial Agents
- Applications of affective social multimedia computing
