ACM Multimedia Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI 2026
The 4th Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI (RichMediaGAI2026) at ACM Multimedia 2026 focuses on the integration of generative AI with rich media systems, emphasizing end-to-end pipelines for visual, multimodal, and 3D/4D media. A central theme is free-view video (FVV), addressing challenges in scene representation, temporal consistency, compression, and interactive delivery, while also welcoming broader contributions in generative techniques for images, videos, and immersive applications.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Fast-Track Paper
Papers submitted under a fast-track process, with the same review standards as regular papers.
Challenge Paper
Papers describing results from the RichMediaGAI Challenge 2026, submitted alongside challenge results (generated images), with optional training-test partition details.

Policies worth checking twice
- Challenge results may be submitted as supplementary material with a paper-format report; no source code is required.
- 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.
- Submissions are subject to a blind review process (implied by standard ACM Multimedia workshop practices and use of OpenReview, though not explicitly stated, but no author names or affiliations are mentioned in submission guidelines).
- Camera-ready submissions must adhere to the ACM Multimedia main conference deadline (August 20, 2026).
