<p>Approximately forty researchers attended the International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Understanding (IWCIM), organized annually by the ERCIM Working Group Multimedia Understanding through Semantics, Computation and Learning (MUSCLE). The workshop took place as a satellite event of IEEE ISCAS 2024 held in Singapore on 21 May 2024. </p>

<p>Multimedia understanding is an essential part of many intelligent applications in our daily lives, whether in our households or commercial, industrial, service, and scientific environments. Analyzing data acquired from a multitude of multimodal sensors to provide them with semantics is essential to exploit their full potential. Multimodal and cross-modal analyses are essential for maximizing their utility.</p>
<p>Through IWCIM, the MUSCLE Working Group [L2] aims to address these emergent topics by growing a community of scientists and practitioners from the academy and industry. The mission continues with the planning of the upcoming thirteenth IWCIM, details of which will be announced shortly.</p>
<p>The IWCIM 2024 website is hosted by Istanbul Technical University [L1], and full-text papers may be accessed via IEEE Xplore.</p>
<p>We are excited to announce that the next edition will be featured as a special session during IEEE ISCAS 2025, which will take place in London from May 25th to 28th, 2025.</p>
