Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital content derives, nowadays, from multiple sources and platforms, such as mobile audiovisual capturing devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops), video streaming applications, multimedia and audiovisual productions, social media and interactive web services pursuing audience engagement, etc. In this context, enormous data collections are either formed in cloud infrastructures or stored locally in big databases. The effective management of these data requires the development of intelligent description mechanisms for searching and retrieval purposes, relying on smart metadata processing. Combined with state-of-the-art machine and deep learning architectures, this featured multimodal data processing aims at offering the desired semantic annotating and conceptualization.
This Special Issue Call for Papers (CfP) in “Multimodal Data Processing and Semantic Interpretation” aims at covering all aspects of semantic analysis in digital content, i.e., text, audio, image, and video, such as semantic annotation and processing, multimodal data stream monitoring, audiovisual metadata extraction and management, data summarization, highlighting, and visualization. Multidisciplinary efforts in the field are welcomed, combining natural language processing with machine and deep learning architectures for deploying content classification, intelligent multimodal searching and retrieval, and generally smart services for big data applications. The contributions could include fully implemented systems and their thorough evaluation, concepts for design frameworks, established multimedia system integrations, user studies, as well as work in progress in this scientific field. The main goal of the journal is to publish innovative ideas in this scientific area providing state-of-the-art academic research activities along with multimodal industry implementations.
The current Special Issue welcomes original research work in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Multimedia data description, annotation, and semantic processing;
- Content-based searching and retrieval;
- Audiovisual production and QoS/QoE;
- Machine and deep learning implementations in multimodal content (audio, image, video, text);
- Sentiment analysis and bias detection in multimedia content;
- Intelligent systems and multimodal web services;
- Big data analysis and modeling;
- Fake content detection and content authentication;
- Smart tools and applications in multimedia;
- Semantic analysis, classification, and visualization;
- Metadata mechanisms;
- Natural language processing and thematic classification (i.e., hate speech);
- Geolocation detection.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Informatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
