This is a report of the 7 th ACM KDD/MDM Workshop on Multimedia Data Mining held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, on 20 August 2006. This report outlines the motivations to hold the workshop, the response we have received in terms of paper submissions and participations, as well as the post-workshop events. The central theme of this year's MDM workshop is to merge multimedia and data mining research together to exploit the synergy between the two areas to advance and promote the research and development in multimedia data mining. The workshop was extremely successful. The feedback we have received during and after the workshop was overwhelmingly positive, which indicates the emerging interest and enthusiasm on the topic of multimedia data mining in the related research communities. Due to this fact, we plan to continue this series next year.
