Call for Papers - SUMAC 2021
The 3rd workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents
In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2021, 20 - 24 October 2020, Chengdu, China
Workshop: https://sumac-workshops.github.io/2021/
Conference: https://2021.acmmm.org
Aims and scope
The digitization of large quantities of analogue data and the massive production of born-digital
documents for many years now provide us with large volumes of varied multimedia data
(images, maps, text, video, multi-sensor data, etc.), an important feature of which is that they
are cross-domain. "Cross-domain" reflects the fact that these data may have been acquired
in very different conditions: different acquisition systems, times and points of view. These
data represent an extremely rich heritage that can be exploited in a wide variety of fields, from
Social Sciences and Humanities to land use and territorial policies, including smart city, urban
planning, smart tourism and culture, creative media and entertainment. In terms of research
in computer science, they address challenging problems related to the diversity and volume
of the media across time, the variety of content descriptors (potentially including the time
dimension), the veracity of the data, and the different user needs with respect to engaging with
this rich material and the extraction of value out of the data. These challenges are reflected
in various research topics such as multimodal and mixed media search, automatic content
analysis, multimedia linking and recommendation, and big data analysis and visualization,
where scientific bottlenecks may be exacerbated by the time dimension, which also provides
topics of interest such as multimodal time series analysis.
The objective of the third edition of this workshop is to present and discuss the latest and
most significant trends in the analysis, structuring and understanding of multimedia contents
dedicated to the valorization of heritage, with the emphasis on enabling access to the big
data of the past. We welcome research contributions for the following (but not limited to) topics:
* Multimedia and cross-domain data interlinking and recommendation
* Dating and spatialization of historical data
* Mixed media data access and indexing
* Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information,etc.)
* Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modeling
* Multi-modal & multi-temporal data rendering
* Heritage - Building Information Modeling, Art
* HCI / Interfaces for large-scale datasets
* Smart digitization of massive quantities of data
* Bench-marking, Open Data Movement
* Generative modeling of cultural heritage
Important dates
* Paper submission: 30 July 2021 (11:59 p.m. AoE)
* Author acceptance notification: 26 August 2021
* Camera-Ready: 2 September 2021
* Workshop date: 20 or 24 October 2021
Keynote speakers
Jon Hardeberg (Professor at the Computer Science Department of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway): talk on Analyzing CHANGE in cultural heritage objects through images.

A reminder to all Digital Medievalists: Part II of the world-wide Digital Medievalist symposium takes place next week, June 11 (AEST)
Languages, Texts, Environments: Digital Transformations in our Past, Present and Future
Part II of the global conference series The Past, Present and Future of Digital Medieval Studies: A Global Digital Medievalist Symposium<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-dig…>, the Asia and Oceania panel offers a fresh perspective for digital medievalists, since the Middle Ages and the scheme of historical periodisation that applies to Europe has little relevance to the historical timelines which unfolded in Asia and the region of Oceania. Spanning the eastern and western hemispheres, the nations of Asia and the islands of Oceania have divergent histories and encompass an incredibly diverse mix of cultures. This panel seeks to offer a small taste of activities undertaken in the sphere of scholarship broadly termed digital humanities, and to introduce new topics and questions to our Digital Medievalist audience.
The panel is divided into four one-hour sessions:
Title: Archiving Indigenous Australia:
(AEST):13:00 - 14:00, (BST):04:00 - 05:00, (CEST):05:00 - 06:00, (EDT):23:00 - 24:00
Title: Engaging Chinese Literature
(AEST):14:15 - 15:15, (BST): 05:15 - 06:15, (CEST): 06:15 - 07:15, (EDT):24:15 - 01:15
Title: Reading Indian and Japanese Scripts
(AEST): 15:30 - 16:30, (BST): 06:30 - 07:30, (CEST): 07:30 - 08:30, (EDT):01:30 - 02:30
Title: Virtual Reconstruction & Discussion
(AEST) 17:00 - 18:30, (BST): 08:00 - 09:30, (CEST):09:00 - 10:30, (EDT):03:00 - 04:30
