EReL@MIR 2026
The 2nd EReL@MIR Workshop on Efficient Representation Learning for Multimodal Information Retrieval
The 2nd EReL@MIR Workshop, co-located with ACM Multimedia 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, focuses on efficient representation learning for multimodal information retrieval (MIR). It addresses the gap between the effectiveness of large multimodal models and their real-world deployability, promoting research on efficiency-aware adaptation, fusion, compression, and scalable serving under strict computational constraints.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
MM2026 Fast Track Submission
Papers rejected or withdrawn from ACM Multimedia 2026 may be resubmitted with review comments in an appendix; these bypass peer review and are decided by meta-reviewers, with only minor revisions permitted.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must be anonymized for double-blind review: no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or identifying information.
- Papers must be 4 to 8 pages long (including figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, and acknowledgments; references unlimited).
- Submissions must be in English and in PDF format using the ACM sigconf LaTeX or Interim Word template.
- At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop on-site to present.
- Papers accepted will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
- For MM2026 Fast Track submissions: major changes are prohibited; authors must include review comments and an 'Improvements' section in the appendix; manipulation of review comments is strictly forbidden.
- Best Paper Award will be selected from accepted submissions.
