Multimedia modeling aims to study computational models for addressing real-world multimedia problems from various perspectives, including information fusion, perceptual understanding, performance evaluation and social media. The topic becomes increasingly important with the massive amount of data available over the Internet, representing different pieces of information in heterogeneous forms that need to be consolidated before being used for multimedia problems. On the other hand, the advancement in technologies such as mobile and sensing devices drive the needs for revisiting the existing models for not only dealing with audio-visual cues but also incorporating various sensory modalities that have potential in providing cheaper and simpler solutions. The selected papers in this special issue were extended by their authors to a journal version and then went through a rigorous review process that included at least three anonymous referees.
