Call for Reproducibility Companion Papers

(open only to authors of papers at ACM Multimedia 2021)

Authors of main-conference papers at ACM Multimedia 2021 are invited to make a submission to the new ACM Multimedia Reproducibility track at ACM Multimedia 2022. The track implements the ACM Artifact and Review and Badging process.

In 2022, we will continue to focus on the “Results Reproduced” badge. ACM defines “Results Reproduced” as “The main results of the paper have been obtained in a subsequent study by a person or team other than the authors, using, in part, artifacts provided by the author” (from https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-and-badging-current).

The companion paper and the associated artifacts will undergo a reproducibility review, which will result in an accept or a reject decision. Rejected papers are not disclosed.

If accepted, the reviewers add a section to the companion paper describing the replication process and become co-authors of the companion paper. The final version may be up to 4 pages (with an optional page for references). A “Results Reproduced” ACM badge is added to the original paper and to the companion paper, which are both stored in the ACM Digital Library, together with the artifacts.

The badged companion paper will appear in the ACM Multimedia 2022 proceedings and will be presented as a poster in the ACM Multimedia 2022 Reproducibility poster session.

Submission Guidelines

A submission to the Reproducibility track is composed of two parts:

• Companion paper: The companion paper is (up to) three and a half pages in length (excluding references). It contains a high-level description of the experiments carried out in the original paper and that are implemented in the archive.
• Archive: Contains the artifacts (e.g., code, scripts, data sets, protocols), which are cleanly packaged, ready for download and use to replicate the results from the original paper. It contains detailed readme file(s), examples, and all information needed to successfully carry out the experiments.
