description: Use when preparing the ACM MM (ACM Multimedia) camera-ready version of record — de-anonymizing safely, completing the ACM rights form and CCS concepts, meeting ACM sigconf requirements, releasing code/data/media artifacts and any earned reproducibility badge, registering, and planning the oral/poster presentation in Rio.

ACM MM Camera-Ready

Use this after acceptance to turn the reviewed PDF into the ACM Digital Library version of record. Camera-ready is a distinct piece of work with its own deadline (reported August 6 for 2026) and its own failure modes — several of them ACM-specific.

De-anonymization pass

The reviewed paper was anonymous (main track); the camera-ready is not. Reverse the blinding carefully:

• Add author names, affiliations, and acknowledgements/funding.
• Restore "our previous work" phrasing and the real repository/dataset URLs.
• Replace the anonymous data/code mirror with the **permanent, public** archive (DOI).
• Re-check that no *anonymous-only* placeholder text survives.

ACM publishing requirements

| Item | What to do | |---|---| | ACM rights form | Complete the eRights process; paste the returned rights block and DOI into the paper | | CCS concepts | Add ACM Computing Classification System concepts and author keywords | | sigconf compliance | Final PDF in the current ACM `sigconf` template; pass ACM's PDF/format check | | Reference/overflow | References may occupy the extra pages; the body stays within the accepted length | | Metadata | Title, authors, affiliations, and abstract match the ACM submission exactly |

The exact ACM rights/OA options (including ACM Open) are settled here; confirm the current process (待核实 each cycle).

Artifact and badge release

code:    public repo + archived DOI, LICENSE, README with run instructions
data:    dataset card, license, access path (mirror or agreement)
media:   final demo video/audio, now de-anonymized, playable in open players
badge:   if the Reproducibility track awarded a badge, include the badge and artifact link

Camera-ready is when the public release replaces the anonymous review artifact — do not leave the community pointing at a dead anonymous link.

Registration and attendance

• At least one author must register by the deadline and present; confirm the current

registration category and any presenter requirement.

• Check visa/travel needs for **Rio de Janeiro** early — international travel is the common

logistical failure.

Presentation prep by tier

• **Oral:** a talk that leads with the cross-modal contribution and *plays the media* — the

audience should see/hear the seam your paper exploits.

• **Poster:** a single readable visual with the teaser, the mechanism, and one decisive

media example; bring a device to play a short clip.

• Prepare captioned media that works offline; conference A/V and network are unreliable.

The ACM eRights step, in order

1. Receive the ACM eRights email after acceptance; complete the rights/permissions form.
2. ACM returns the rights block + DOI + the correct conference string.
3. Paste that block verbatim into the sigconf template (do not hand-edit it).
4. Add CCS concepts and keywords; run ACM's PDF format/preflight check.
5. Upload the final PDF and source where required, matching the registered metadata.

Skipping or mistyping the rights block is a frequent camera-ready bounce; treat the returned text as fixed data, not prose to reword.

Media for the ACM Digital Library

• Supplementary video/audio can accompany the DL record; provide the **de-anonymized** final

versions in the accepted formats, captioned and playable in open players.

• Ensure the public artifact link in the paper resolves to the permanent archive, not the old

anonymous review mirror.

• If a badge was awarded, include the ACM badge and the artifact DOI so the DL entry carries it.

Final camera-ready checklist

• De-anonymized fully; rights block and DOI in place; CCS concepts added.
• sigconf format check passed; metadata matches ACM record.
• Public artifact archived and linked; any badge included.
• Registration done; presentation media prepared and offline-safe.
