CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, visualization and analytics.

In addition to multimedia and social media search and retrieval, we wish to highlight related and equally important issues that build on content-based indexing, such as multimedia content management, user interaction and visualization, media analytics, etc.

Additional special sessions are planned in areas such as deep learning, medical image retrieval, big data and eLearning.
