The second BigMM conference hosted by Asia University will be held in Taipei, Taiwan from April 20 to 22 in 2016.
The conference solicits high-quality original research papers in any aspect of multimedia big data. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- New theory and models for multimedia big data computing
- Ultra-high efficiency compression, coding and transmission of multimedia big data
- Content analysis and mining of multimedia big data
- Semantic retrieval of multimedia big data
- Deep learning and cloud computing for multimedia big data
- Green computing for multimedia big data (e.g., high efficiency storage)
- Security and privacy in multimedia big data
- Interaction, access, visualization of multimedia big data
- Multimedia big data systems
- Novel and incentive applications of multimedia big data in various fields (e.g., search, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, industry 4.0, transportation, and retail)
