2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval
Part of ECAI 2004
22-27 August 2004 Universidad Polit�cnica de Valencia, Spain ( - printer friendly PDF version - )
Following events of this workshop series: Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval 2005 (AMR 2005), 28-29 July 2005 in Glasgow, UK. Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval 2006 (AMR 2006), 27-28 July 2006, University of Geneva, Switzerland
So far, several approaches have been developed that tackle specific problems of the retrieval process, e.g. feature extraction methods for multimedia data, query languages, problem specific similarity measures and interactive user interfaces. However, in most cases the user still needs several steps in order to find the searched objects. The main reasons for this are on the one hand, the users� difficulty in specifying their interests in the form of a well defined query (which is partially caused by inappropriate user interfaces), on the other hand, the problem of extracting relevant features from the multimedia objects. Furthermore, user specific interests and the search context are usually neglected when objects are retrieved. To improve today�s retrieval tools and thus the overall satisfaction of a user, it is necessary to develop intelligent methods that are able to support the user in the search process, e.g. by providing additional user adapted information about the search results as well as the data collection itself and especially by adapting the retrieval tool to the user�s needs and interests. The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas between different research communities, to provide an overview of current activities in this area and to point out connections between the diverse involved research communities and research in AI. Topics of interest: The workshop focuses especially on researchers that are working on feature extraction techniques for multimedia, computer linguistic approaches, (dynamic) data analysis methods, and visualization methods as well as user interface design. Therefore, contributions to the workshop should focus on, but are not limited to:
Submissions: Submissions should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style (for details see the Springer LNCS web-pages). Papers should have about 10 pages but should not exceed 15 pages and should be submitted electronically in PDF or postscript format to amr2004@iws.cs.uni-magdeburg.de. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Important Dates:
Program The program of the workshop can be found here. Venue The workshop will take place during the 16th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2004) in Valencia, Spain. Information about the venue, hotels, etc. are provided on the web pages of the main conference. Registration Participation at the workshop requires registration for ECAI 2004.
