Challenges on Multimedia for Decision-Making in the Era of Cognitive Computing

The increasing momentum towards cognitive computing unlocks a diverse set of opportunities and challenges for the multimedia research community. In fact, with a different approach from the one present in the traditional artificial intelligence systems, cognitive computing glimpses a human-machine collaboration, promoting a more natural and symbiotic interaction. The main goal of this paper is to discuss central challenges when the multimedia research area enrolls decision-making processes in the era of cognitive computing. Aiming at supporting the multimedia research community on future investigations in this research area, we present challenges in different topics gathered in specific domains.
