Welcome to the 1st IEEE Workshop on Multimodal Content Moderation (MMCM) being held in conjunction with CVPR 2023!
Content moderation (CM) is a rapidly growing need in today’s world, with a high societal impact, where automated CM systems can discover discrimination, violent acts, hate/toxicity, and much more, on a variety of signals (visual, text/OCR, speech, audio, language, generated content, etc.). Leaving or providing unsafe content on social platforms and devices can cause a variety of harmful consequences, including brand damage to institutions and public figures, erosion of trust in science and government, marginalization of minorities, geo-political conflicts, suicidal thoughts and more. Besides user-generated content, content generated by powerful AI models such as DALL-E and GPT present additional challenges to CM systems.
With the prevalence of multimedia social networking and online gaming, the problem of sensitive content detection and moderation is by nature multimodal. Moreover, content moderation is contextual and culturally multifaceted, for example, different cultures have different conventions about gestures. This requires CM approach to be not only multimodal, but also context aware and culturally sensitive.
This workshop intends to draw more visibility and interest to this challenging field, and establish a platform to foster in-depth idea exchange and collaboration. Authors are invited to submit original and innovative papers. We aim for broad scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to:
