The 7th International Workshop on Intelligent Cross-Data Analysis and Retrieval (ICDAR 2026) (co-located with ICMR 2026)
Overview
Multimedia retrieval is entering a transformative era. As we move toward 2026, the field is expanding beyond digital archives into Physical AI, where autonomous systems must reason over multimodal sensory data in real-time. Simultaneously, the rise of generative media and decentralized computing has made Media Verification and Privacy-Preserving Learning critical pillars of trustworthy intelligence.
The 7th ICDAR workshop invites researchers to submit "Brave New Ideas" that bridge the gap between digital retrieval, physical interaction, and ethical data governance. We seek contributions that leverage Multimodal AI, Federated Learning, and Neurosymbolic reasoning to make cross-modal analytics more intelligent, secure, and context-aware.
Topics of Interest
We welcome original research and system demonstrations on topics including, but not limited to:
- Physical & Embodied AI: Retrieval for robotics, autonomous agents, and digital twins in smart cities.
- Media Integrity & Trust: Detection of "cheapfakes," re-contextualized misinformation, and AI-generated content verification.
- Decentralized Intelligence: Federated and Edge AI for privacy-preserving cross-modal retrieval.
- Advanced Reasoning: Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) and Neurosymbolic AI for explainable retrieval.
- Human-Centred Applications: Intelligent sensing for healthcare, precision agriculture, and sustainable development goals (SDGs).
