Call for Presentations and Posters: International Symposium on Synthetic Media Attribution and Detection
Co-sponsored by Google and the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the inaugural International Symposium on Synthetic Media Attribution and Detection (ISSMAD 2026) will be held August 20–21 in San Francisco Bay Area. Under an organizing committee chaired by YouTube’s Pei Cao, the event gathers global signal processing experts, academics, and industry leaders to tackle media authenticity challenges within the generative AI ecosystem.
To prioritize rapid knowledge sharing, the symposium welcomes works-in-progress, papers under review, and previously published research.
We encourage submissions related to synthetic media, media authenticity, and content integrity. Key technical topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI generated content / media
- Impersonation detection
- Synthetic video, speech, music detection
- Forensics tools for deepfake detection
- Scaling models for synthetic media detection
- Detection for both Video-on-Demand (VoD) and interactive video communication
- Novel generative methods
- Digital watermarking to identify AI-generated content
- C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) schemes and frameworks
- Synthetic data (video, speech, partial edits) benchmarking
- Realistic AI vs. AI slop detection
Important Dates:
- Submission Deadline: May 1, 2026 - 1:00pm PST
