Connectionists: Special session: Bio-inspired circuits, systems and algorithms for multimedia in conjunction with CBMI-2021, deadline extended till January 31

[Teresa Serrano]

*Special session: Bio-inspired circuits, systems and algorithms for 
multimedia in conjunction with CBMI-2021 
<https://zimbra.univ-lille.fr/cbmi2021.univ-lille.fr> (June 28-30) - 
cbmi2021.univ-lille.fr * Submission deadline extended till *January 31*, 
2021 CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in 
all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, 
  browsing, management, visualization and analytics. The Special Session 
on bio-inspired circuits, systems and algorithms will be a mini-venue, 
focusing on the state-of-the-art and research direction of the emerging 
field of bio-inspired circuits, systems and algorithms and in the 
envisioned applications and breakthrough that the application of this 
bioinspired technology and algorithms can bring to the content-based 
multimedia indexing field development. Special session papers, which can 
be invited or submitted, will supplement the regular research papers and 
be included in the proceedings of CBMI 2021. The special session would 
include four to five papers, which can be invited, or regular 
submissions.  In order to ensure the high quality of all conference 
papers, all papers submitted to the special session will be 
peer-reviewed through the standard review process, including invited 
papers. If the special session has many high-quality submissions, some 
of the submissions may potentially be moved to some regular sessions. 
Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research papers 
including bioinspired circuits, systems and algorithms  that address the 
use of the bioinspired technology and algorithms in the areas of search 
and retrieval, multimedia content management, user interaction, 
large-scale search, learning in retrieval, social media indexing and 
retrieval, surveillance and security. Other applications areas of 
interest to the CBMI community not listed above maybe considered. 
*Organizer *: Teresa Serrano Gotarredona, IMSE-CNM — 
terese at imse-cnm.csic.es <mailto:terese at imse-cnm.csic.es> and 
cbmi2021-organisation at univ-lille.fr 
<mailto:cbmi2021-organisation at univ-lille.fr> Submissions of papers for 
special sessions are open on EasyChair: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbmi2021 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbmi2021>. Please select the 
special session you apply to in the submission form. *STUDENT 
PARTICIPATION:* We strongly encourage students to participate in CBMI-21 
event and submit their research. We strongly believe in their power, and 
they are the future of the research in content-based multimedia 
indexing. For these reasons and for the first time in the history of the 
conference, the 2021 edition of CBMI with support of ACM SIGMM 
(www.sigmm.org <http://www.sigmm.org/>), will sponsor several students, 
authors of papers submitted and accepted by CBMI-21, and being 
corresponding author of a paper. The student status will be recognized 
only to PhDs and master students. Certain students will be totally 
sponsored, including registration fees, accommodations and travel 
expenses. Other students will be partly sponsored, including substantial 
reduction in the registration fees, no cut-backs to the students’ 
conference experience, and budget accommodation options and arrangement 
for room sharing. Furthermore, in this edition, prizes will be awarded 
to the best student poster presentations of CBMI2021. All the 
participants registered to CBMI2021 as student will be automatically 
admitted to the selection for the awards. All the papers accepted as 
poster presentation by the Technical Program Committee (TPC), from 
students will be considered for the awards, given that a full-paper 
manuscript has been submitted. The student poster awards committee will 
evaluate the nominated contributions during the poster sessions of 
CBMI2021. The evaluation criteria will be independently established by 
the Committee before the conference and will take into account the 
scientific content as well as the technical quality of the posters. The 
Student Poster Awards will be announced during the Gala Dinner, on June 
29th.

*INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS:*

Special sessions papers will be included in the CBMI proceedings like 
regular papers. The CBMI proceedings are traditionally indexed and 
distributed by IEEE Xplore and ACM DL. In addition, authors of certain 
best papers of the conference will be invited to submit extended 
versions of their contributions to a special issue of a leading journal 
in the field (e.g. MTAP - Springer), and other best papers will be 
invited to submit extended versions of their contributions in a book 
(ISTE/WILEY publisher).
