AMR 2006 - 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retr= ieval
----------------------------------------------------------------------
27-28 July 2006, University of Geneva, Switzerland

*Extended submission deadine: March 26th*
The 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval will = be held on 27-28 July 2006 at the University of Geneva,
Switzerland.
So far, several approaches have been developed that tackle specific= problems of the retrieval process, e.g. feature extraction
methods fo= r multimedia data, query languages, problem-specific similarity measure= s and interactive user interfaces.
However, in most cases the user stil= l 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 objec= ts. Furthermore, user specific interests and the search context are usual= ly 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 th= e user's needs and
interests.
The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas betw= een different research communities, to provide an overview
of current= activities in this area and to point out connections between the dive= rse 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 method= s as well as user interface design.
Therefore, contributions to the= workshop should focus on, but are not limited to:
- Multimedia retrieval systems (for text, image, audio, video and=
mixed-media)
- Theoretical foundations of multimedia retrieval and mining
- Intelligent multimedia data modelling, indexing and structure extra= ction
- Adaptive Hypermedia and web based systems
- Metadata for multimedia retrieval
- Multimedia and multi-modal mining
- Semantic content analysis for multimedia
- Semantic web and ontologies
- Adaptive query languages
- Similarity measures (especially user adaptive measures)
- User and preference modelling (including feedback models)
- Methods for adaptive data visualization and user interfaces
