ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR)
Conference positioning
ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) is a top computer-science conference venue for image/video/audio retrieval, cross-modal search, representation learning, and multimedia indexing. It rewards a retrieval-centered multimedia paper with ranking metrics and realistic media-search baselines. Treat this skill as a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool for conference submission strategy, not as a substitute for the current year's CFP, author kit, ethics policy, or submission portal.
Because CS conferences change deadlines, templates, page limits, review workflow, artifact rules, AI-use policy, and rebuttal formats every cycle, always verify the live official instructions before making a submission-ready recommendation. Start from the official source anchor recorded for this venue in ../../resources/conference-roster.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md.
When to trigger
The author names ICMR / ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval as the target venue.
A manuscript in image/video/audio retrieval needs a conference-fit read before being formatted or submitted.
The paper must be re-framed from journal style or arXiv style into a selective CS conference narrative.
The author needs an evidence-gap, anonymity, artifact, rebuttal, or re-routing diagnosis for this venue.
Best submissions make a precise contribution type visible: algorithm, theorem, system, dataset, benchmark, empirical finding, design artifact, tool, or socio-technical analysis.
The paper should explain why the result matters to ICMR's reviewers, not just why it is interesting to the authors' lab or product context.
Position related work against the most recent conference-cycle papers in this venue and its closest siblings; stale comparisons are a common early-review weakness.
If the contribution is interdisciplinary, state which part is CS research and which part is domain evidence.
Venue-specific calibration
Reviewer lens: Treat ICMR as a multimedia retrieval venue whose reviewers expect the scope and evidence to match its own community. Do not submit a generic CS paper until the introduction names the exact subcommunity, contribution type, and proof or empirical standard.
Contribution hook to foreground: the venue-specific contribution bar.
Scope vocabulary to use naturally in the abstract and introduction: image/video/audio retrieval, cross-modal search, representation learning, and multimedia indexing.
Official anchor domain: www.icmr.cc. Quote annual rules only after opening that source and the current-year CFP/author kit.
Close-neighbor routing guardrail
Route to ICMR when the contribution is multimedia retrieval: cross-modal search, retrieval
benchmarks, indexing, representation, or evaluation for multimedia collections.
Compare ACM MM for broader multimedia, SIGIR for general IR, CVPR/ICCV/ECCV for vision
methods, and ISBI/MICCAI for biomedical imaging.
