========================================================
Welcome to MMM 2018, the 24th International Conference on MultiMedia Modeling, in Bangkok, Thailand which takes place Fenruary 5-7,2018 at Dusit Thani Hotel in the heart of Bangkok.
Now in its 24th year, MMM is a leading international conference for researchers and industry practitioners for sharing new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all MMM related areas. For more details of the call for contributions, please see the mail below.
There will be two main social events at MMM 2018: a welcome reception featuring the Video Browser Showdown, on February 5, and the conference banquet which will take place at the Dusit Thani Hotel on the evening of February 6. Optional tours allow participants to further enjoy their stay in Thailand.
We sincerely hope that the carefully crafted program that we will put together, the scientific discussions that the conference will stimulate, and your additional activities in Bangkok and its surroundings, will make participation in MMM 2018 a valuable and a memorable experience.
On behalf of the conference organizers and our hosts at Chulalongkorn University, we sincerely welcome you to MMM 2018.

===== Video Browser Showdown ===========================
The Video Browser Showdown (VBS) is an annual live video search competition, where international researchers evaluate and demonstrate the efficiency of their exploratory video retrieval tools on a shared data set in front of the audience.
VBS has been organized as a special session MMM since 2012. In this special session the participating teams start with a quick presentation of their video search systems and then perform several video retrieval tasks with a moderately large video collection. This year, VBS will collaborate with the TRECVID Ad-Hoc search task and use the same data set of about 600 hours of video content.
The aim of the Video Browser Showdown is to evaluate video browsing tools for their efficiency at “Known Item Search” (KIS) tasks with a well-defined data set in direct comparison with other tools. For each KIS task the searchers need to interactively find a short video clip (20 secs) in the video collection within a specific time limit. While the video data is distributed before the event, the tasks are presented on-site via a projector (either as a video clip itself, or as a textual description).
