CfP: IEEE ICMLA Special Session on Machine Learning with Multimedia Data
Cyril Laurier
Special Session on Machine Learning with Multimedia Data
http://www.icmla-conference.org/icmla10/
AIMS AND SCOPE
The web, as well as TV and radio archives and other sources, give
access to a growing amount of data in a large variety of formats and
media modalities, often containing useful information.
However, much of this information is not easily accessible and usable,
be it for users or for automatic systems that could make use of it.
While information extraction from written text has seen great advances
and is used by search engines, news aggregators, opinion monitoring
systems, mail filters, and many more, access to information in other
modalities (audio, images, video, ...) is still a very difficult
problem. Machine learning is used with varying success for diverse
tasks dealing with multimedia data, but many problems remain, ranging
from finding good machine readable representations of the data,
extracting higher level (semantic) features to the development of
machine learning algorithms capable of dealing with high-dimension
spatio-temporal data. An important aspect is also the integration of
information obtained from various modalities, and the possibility for
cross-modal access to information (e.g. textual querying of video
recordings).
One important aim of this session is to bring together researchers
working on different types of data, be it music, video, speech,
images, and more. These tasks have much in common, and we hope to
promote communication between researchers from these different fields.
Topics
This session would solicit original research papers including but not
limited to the following:
* Low level feature extraction, selection and transformation
* High level feature extraction from multimedia/cross-media

* Speech recognition and speaker recognition
* User-access pattern monitoring, modeling, and prediction
* Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval
* Semi-supervised learning in multimedia data analysis
* Transfer or multitask learning in multimedia/cross-media data analysis
* Semantic organization/visualization of multimedia and cross-media data
