Indexing and retrieval of large quantity of multimedia data is a highly challenging and growingly important research problem for the multimedia research community. Researchers in multimedia, databases, computer vision, machine learning, signal and image processing and statistics have worked on multimedia information retrieval for over a decade. A number of significant technological advances have been achieved in this field. Some of the techniques have been applied to real-world application areas such as art image retrieval, biomedical image and video retrieval, education, sensor networks, large-scale online personal and professional photo sharing communities, classification and filtering of images on the Web, scientific content (remote sensing and biodiversity), computer forensics, threat assessment and security applications more generally. We envision more and more real-world applications of multimedia information retrieval to appear in the coming years. In this workshop, we will bring together active researchers, developers, and practitioners from both academia and the industry to showcase latest technological advances and to discuss future possibilities.
We are soliciting high-quality submissions that:
- present novel and fresh ideas
- question existing paradigms
- introduce brave new research directions
in the following (and other related) Topics of Interest:
- Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia data
- Image, video and audio similarity measures
- Summarization and visualization of multimedia data sets
- Indexing and retrieval of streaming audio and video
- Semantic content analysis, classification and annotation, representation and modeling
- Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval
- User perspectives and user modeling
