ACM Multimedia Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI 2026
The 4th Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI (RichMediaGAI2026) at ACM Multimedia 2026 explores the integration of generative AI with rich media systems, focusing on visual, multimodal, and 3D/4D media. It emphasizes free-view video (FVV) as a key use case, addressing challenges in scene representation, compression, real-time rendering, and interactive delivery, while promoting reproducible evaluation through the M³ISR benchmark and challenge.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Fast-Track Paper
Papers submitted via a fast-track process, likely for timely or preliminary results, with the same review and acceptance criteria as regular papers.
Challenge Paper
Papers describing submissions to the RichMediaGAI Challenge 2026, which may include results from the M³ISR benchmark; challenge results may be submitted as supplementary material with a paper-format report.

Policies worth checking twice
- Challenge results may be submitted as supplementary material accompanied by a paper-format report.
- No source code is required for challenge submissions.
- Generated images must be submitted as challenge results.
- For Tracks 2 and 3 of the challenge, participants may choose their own training-test partition (e.g., x% for training, (100-x)% for testing), with preference for cross-validation and multiple partition ratios.
- Submission deadline for regular and fast-track papers has been extended to August 1, 2026.
- Submission deadline for challenge papers and challenge results is August 9, 2026.
- Notification of acceptance for all papers is on August 12, 2026.
- Camera-ready submission deadline for all papers is August 20, 2026, aligned with the ACM Multimedia main conference deadline.
