IMPACT: Impact-aware Multimodal Persuasive Analysis and Contextual Trust
IMPACT 2026 is a workshop co-located with ACM Multimedia 2026 that focuses on multimedia-native, persuasion-optimized misinformation. It brings together researchers in multimedia forensics, multimodal reasoning, provenance, trust, and human-centered verification to develop integrated integrity systems that go beyond binary detection to assess strategic manipulation, contextual harm, and real-world impact.
