The 4th Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI
The 4th Workshop on Rich Media with Generative AI
The RichMediaGAI2026 workshop focuses on the intersection of generative AI and rich media systems, aiming to bridge content creation, representation, compression, and delivery within unified end-to-end pipelines. The scope spans visual, multimodal, and 3D/4D media, addressing both algorithmic advances in generative modeling and system-level challenges related to scalability, efficiency, and real-world deployment.
A key emphasis of RichMediaGAI2026 is free-view video (FVV) as a representative and demanding use case for generative media systems. FVV highlights the need to jointly consider scene representation, temporal consistency, compression, and interactive delivery, going beyond reconstruction quality alone. To support reproducible evaluation, the workshop is accompanied by the RichMediaGAI Challenge 2026, built on the M3VIR-2 benchmark, which provides a common testbed for assessing generative synthesis and delivery efficiency under realistic constraints. While FVV serves as a central theme, the workshop is not limited to FVV and broadly covers generative techniques for images, videos, and immersive media applications. By combining technical contributions with a benchmark-driven challenge, RichMediaGAI2026 aims to foster systematic comparison, community engagement, and progress toward deployable generative media systems.
