Call for Multimodal Grand Challenges - ICMI 2024
Teams are encouraged to submit proposals for one or more ICMI Multimodal
Grand Challenges.
The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the
world's leading platform for multidisciplinary research on multimodal
human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system
development. Identifying the best algorithms and their failure modes is
necessary for developing systems that can reliably interpret human-human
communication or respond to human input. The availability of datasets
and common goals has led to significant development in domains such as
computer vision, speech recognition, computational (para-)linguistics,
and physiological signal processing, for example. We invite the ICMI
community to define and address the scientific Grand Challenges in our
field, showing perspectives during the next five years as a group. The
goal of the ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges is to elicit fresh ideas
from the ICMI community and to generate momentum for future
collaborative efforts. Tasks like analysis, synthesis, and interaction
are all feasible.
Papers submitted to the challenge (of course, being reviewed and
accepted) will be indexed in the main proceedings of the conference.
We invite organizers from various fields related to multimodal
interaction to propose and run Grand Challenge events. We are looking
for exciting and stimulating challenges including but not limited to the
following categories:
●*Dataset-driven challenge. *This challenge will provide a dataset that
is exemplary of the complexities of current and future multimodal
problems, and one or more multimodal tasks whose performance can be
objectively measured and compared in rigorous conditions. Participants
in the Challenge will evaluate their methods against the challenge data
in order to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses.
●*Use-case challenge. *This challenge will provide an interactive
problem system (e.g., dialog-based, non-verbal-based, or
multimodal-based) and the associated resources, which can allow people
to participate through the integration of specific modules or
alternative full systems. Proposers should also establish systematic
evaluation procedures.
Prospective organizers should submit a five-page maximum proposal
containing the following information:
1. Title
2. Abstract appropriate for possible Web promotion of the Challenge
3. Distinctive topics to be addressed and specific goals
4. Detailed description of the Challenge and its relevance to
multimodal interaction
5. Length (full day or half day)
6. Plan for soliciting participation
7. Description of how submissions (challenge’s submissions and papers)
will be evaluated, and a list of proposed reviewers
8. Proposed schedule for releasing datasets (if applicable) and/or
systems (if applicable) and receiving submissions. Datasets should
be made available after the end of the challenge as well.
9. Short biography of the organizers (preferably from multiple
institutions)
10. Funding source (if any) that supports or could support the challenge
organization
11. Draft call for papers; affiliations and email address of the
organisers; summary of the Grand Challenge; list of potential
Technical Program Committee members and their affiliations,
important dates
Proposals will be evaluated based on originality, ambition, feasibility,
and implementation plan.
A Challenge with dataset(s) or system(s) that has had pilot results to
ensure its representativity and suitability to the proposed task will be
given preference for acceptance; an additional 1 page description must
be attached in such case. Continuation of or variants on the 2023
challenges are welcome, though we ask for submissions of this form to
highlight the number of participants that attended during the previous
year and describe what changes (if any) will be made from the previous
year. Grand challenge organizers are not eligible to participate in the
challenge that they are organizing.
The ICMI organizers will offer support with basic logistics, which
includes rooms and equipment to run the Workshop, coffee breaks can be
offered if synchronised with the main conference or other related events
(e.g., workshops or tutorials).
