Cloud Gaming is an emerging service that catches growing interest in the research community as well as industry. While the paradigm shift from a game execution on clients to streaming games from the cloud offers a variety of benefits, the…

We study a novel task, Video Question-Answer Generation (VQAG), for challenging Video Question Answering (Video QA) task in multimedia. Due to expensive data annotation costs, many widely used, large-scale Video QA datasets such as…

Image steganography plays a vital role in securing secret data by embedding it in the cover images. Usually, these images are communicated in a compressed format. Existing techniques achieve this but have low embedding capacity. Enhancing…

Proactive tile-based virtual reality video streaming computes and delivers the predicted tiles to be requested before playback. All existing works overlook the important fact that computing and communication (CC) tasks for a segment may…

Successful applications of deep learning (DL) requires large amount of annotated data. This often restricts the benefits of employing DL to businesses and individuals with large budgets for data-collection and computation. Summarization…

This paper describes the MediaEval 2020 \textit{Predicting Media Memorability} task. After first being proposed at MediaEval 2018, the Predicting Media Memorability task is in its 3rd edition this year, as the prediction of short-term and…

The Predicting Media Memorability task in MediaEval'20 has some challenging aspects compared to previous years. In this paper we identify the high-dynamic content in videos and dataset of limited size as the core challenges for the task, we…

Memorability determines what evanesces into emptiness, and what worms its way into the deepest furrows of our minds. It is the key to curating more meaningful media content as we wade through daily digital torrents. The Predicting Media…

In this paper, a novel QP variable convolutional neural network based in-loop filter is proposed for VVC intra coding. To avoid training and deploying multiple networks, we develop an efficient QP attention module (QPAM) which can capture…

Image Forensics has already achieved great results for the source camera identification task on images. Standard approaches for data coming from Social Network Platforms cannot be applied due to different processes involved (e.g., scaling,…

In 2019, outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases reached the highest number in the US since 1992. Medical misinformation, such as antivaccine content propagating through social media, is associated with increases in vaccine delay and…

The Alliance for Open Media has recently initiated coding tool exploration activities towards the next-generation video coding beyond AV1. With this regard, this paper presents a package of coding tools that have been investigated,…

The widespread use of JPEG images makes them good covers for secret messages storing and transmitting. This paper proposes a new algorithm for embedding information in JPEG images based on the steganographic QIM method. The main problem of…

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a video streaming technique largely used. One key point is the adaptation mechanism which resides at the client's side. This mechanism impacts greatly on the overall Quality of Experience (QoE)…

This project brings music to sight. Music can be a visual masterpiece. Some people naturally experience a visualization of audio - a condition called synesthesia. The type of synesthesia explored is when sounds create colors in the 'mind's…

Combining \underline{v}ideo streaming and online \underline{r}etailing (V2R) has been a growing trend recently. In this paper, we provide practitioners and researchers in multimedia with a cloud-based platform named Hysia for easy…

Coverless steganography has been a great interest in recent years, since it is a technology that can absolutely resist the detection of steganalysis by not modifying the carriers. However, most existing coverless steganography algorithms…

Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP provides the work of most multimedia services, however, the nature of this technology further complicates the assessment of the QoE (Quality of Experience). In this paper, the influence of various…

Multi-modal representation learning by pretraining has become an increasing interest due to its easy-to-use and potential benefit for various Visual-and-Language~(V-L) tasks. However its requirement of large volume and high-quality…

Kodi is of one of the world's largest open-source streaming platforms for viewing video content. Easily installed Kodi add-ons facilitate access to online pirated videos and streaming content by facilitating the user to search and view…
