Overview<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the success of the past MADiMa workshops, we would like to present to you the MADiMa2023 organized in conjunction with ACMM Multimedia 2023 the 31st ACM International Conference on Multimedia<\/a>, Ottawa, Canada, October 29 \u2013 November 3, 2023.\n\n\n\n

The prevention of onset and progression of diet-related acute and chronic diseases requires reliable and intuitive dietary management. The need for accurate, automatic, real-time, and personalized dietary advice has been recently complemented by the advances in AI, computer vision, wearable, and smartphone technologies, permitting the development of the first mobile food multimedia content analysis applications. The proposed solutions rely on the analysis of multimedia content captured by wearable sensors, smartphone cameras, barcode scanners, RFID readers and IR sensors, along with already established nutritional and recipe databases and often require some user input. In the field of nutritional management, multimedia not only bridges diverse information and communication technologies, but also computer science with medicine, nutrition, and dietetics. This confluence brings new challenges and opportunities on dietary monitoring, assessment, and management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main scope of MADiMa2023 is to bring together researchers from the diverse fields of engineering, computer science and nutrition who investigate the use of information and communication technologies for better monitoring, assessment, and management of food intake. The combined use of multimedia, machine learning algorithms, ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies permits the development of applications and systems able to monitor the dietary behavior, analyze food intake, identify eating patterns, and provide feedback to the user towards healthier nutrition. The researchers will present and demonstrate their latest progress and discuss novel ideas in the field. Besides the technologies used, emphasis will be given to the precise problem definition, the available nutritional databases, the need for benchmarking multimedia databases of packed and unpacked food and the evaluation protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n
