From: Vision List Moderator <mode...@vislist.com>
Subject: ADMIN: Changes in the Vislist
Hi all,
First let me start by apologizing for the long lag between Vision List
Digests. I have begun implementing some improvements to streamline and
improve the Vislist admin and user experience.
* The Vislist server is very old and creaky. A new machine has been
bought and is being configured. That will make admin go faster,
and speed user access.
* The current article posting method by email creates a ton of moderation
work that doesn't add much value. Mostly because of the noise and poor
submission format. I will be implementing a web-based submission
mechanism. If a web-only posting submission method has problems I
haven't considered, please email me at
mailto:mode...@vislist.com?Subject=VLS:web-email-submission .
* There are some other moderator tools I'm using that are very clunky
and slow. I will be trying to improve the outgoing digest emailer.
I think I'm stuck with the digester I wrote in Perl, as I haven't
found anything better so far.
The Vislist has lately been of use primarily for job and CFP
announcements. Timely dissemination is especially important for these
uses. I also think a Vision List threaded discussion mechanism could
be useful for those seeking unmoderated dialog. Anyone can recommend a
good software tool for this to run on the Vislist server?
thanks,
phil...

Subject: CFP : WS SLAM09 - CVPR WS - 16MAR2009
4th International Workshop on Semantic Learning and Applications
in Multimedia in association with CVPR 2009
Workshop date (full-day): June 21, 2009
Paper submission: 3/16/09
Notification of acceptance: 3/30/09
Receipt of camera ready copy: 4/13/09
The use of semantic knowledge in multimedia is rapidly becoming more
widespread and significant. In areas such as multimedia content
analysis, media integration, semantic cues and knowledge are being
used to achieve performance that is not attainable by purely
bottom-up, data-driven approaches. In many applications, meaningful
multimedia content recognition is not possible without contextual,
semantic support. However, many fundamental challenges still remain.
This workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of
researchers in computer vision, speech/music recognition, knowledge
representation and ontologies, machine learning, natural language and
other areas to examine the issues and recent results in using semantic
knowledge to enhance multimedia. Recent progress in machine learning
has enabled the rigorous management of uncertainty in large-scale
reasoning problems, and this has stimulated the use of semantic
methods and reasoning in multimedia. Simultaneously, the natural
language and artificial intelligence communities have developed large
computational models and databases of semantic knowledge. The
multimedia communities are using both evidential reasoning methods and
semantic knowledge bases to fuse multiple data sources for intelligent
multimedia content analysis, integration, and delivery.
Papers are solicited in all disciplines related to the central theme,
including but not limited to:
o use of knowledgebases/ontologies for multimedia problems
o new ontologies for visual objects, video events, etc.
o new ontologies for audio objects, audio scenes/events, etc.
o user-centric multimedia ontologies
o unsupervised learning of event ontologies
o automatic multimedia concept detection
o semantic representations of spatio-temporal data
o context-based recognition
o high-level event recognition
o semantic image, audio, music, and video annotation
o semantic event-based retrieval of audio/music/video
o content-based queries and use cases
o integration of vision and natural language
o learning vs. prior, structured knowledge
o probabilistic models for dynamic systems
o temporal logic in speech and vision
o multi-agent multi-threaded representations
o situational awareness through audio-visual perception
o intelligent media agents and middleware
PROGRAM
The program will include both invited talks from researchers working
on multimedia related fields, as well as open submission papers. In
addition, the program will feature two keynote speeches and one panel
discussion.

PAPER SUBMISSION
In keeping with the spirit of a workshop, submitted papers may
emphasize intellectual risks and argue for ideas that do not yet have
comprehensive experimental support. Hence papers may not need to
describe fully developed algorithms, methods, or results as would
normally be required for acceptance at CVPR. Papers should be at most
8 pages in length, in the same style format as CVPR. All accepted
papers will be included in the electronic CVPR proceedings.

CALL FOR PAPERS
CIAM 2009
IJCAI-09 Workshop on Cross-Media Information Access and Mining
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~liir/conferences/CIAM2009/
First call for papers
The workshop will take place July 13, 2009 as part of the Twenty-first
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Pasadena
Conference Center, California. http://ijcai-09.org/
This event is sponsored by The International Joint Conferences on
Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), The Association for the Advancement
of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and The Interdisciplinary Institute
for Broadband Technology (IBBT).
Artificial intelligence (AI) simulates intelligent tasks performed by
humans. One primordial task is the understanding and fusion of
multiple inputs, for instance, when seeing the world around us,
listening to speech and other audio sounds, and reading
texts. Multimedia archives containing text, video, still images and
audio (speech and other sounds) are quickly gaining importance (e.g.,
on the World Wide Web or privately held by broadcasting companies,
publishing houses, libraries, musea, police and intelligence services,
courtrooms, hospitals, etc.). Systems that access or mine this
multimedia content should have the intellectual capability to relate
the different information sources to each other, and to align and
integrate the content. Indeed, more often than not the different
modalities complement and disambiguate each other. Such technologies
will form the basis for multimedia and cross-media information
retrieval and mining.
This situation demands for solutions for cross-media processing and
content recognition, where some fundamental problems are emerging
topics of interest in the research community. First, content
recognition in the visual, textual or audio medium is improved by
exploiting cross-modal co-occurrences, especially when many instances
can reinforce each other. Content recognized in one medium (e.g.,
text) can serve as weak annotation for content to be learned in
another medium (e.g., the visual medium). This allows, for instance,
to train a visual object recognition system for frequent objects
without the need for manually labeled training data. Similarly, the
visual medium can assist in the processing of textual sources. For
instance, recognized visual actions might contribute to the
ontological classification of certain verbs used in language. Gestures
can complement speech as a visual reflection of the semantics of a
discourse or conversation. And there are many other examples. Content
recognition also entails content linking across media, where we deal
with problems of cross-document coreferencing (or alignment) of, for
instance, entities (e.g., persons, objects, locations), of actions
performed by entities, of events, and of temporal and spatial forms of
expression. Moreover, the initially identified alignments might
bootstrap additional cross-modal "translations".
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
computer vision, sound processing, human language technology,
computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, machine learning,
reasoning, information retrieval, cognitive science and application
communities. The workshop will bring fertilizing discussions and ideas
about that will foster new interdisciplinary research avenues in
artificial intelligence. It will encourage research into intelligent
behavior and unify methodologies.
The workshop is open to all members of the AI community. The number of
participants is however limited to 40. We welcome original papers and
posters. They should show a clearly motivated interest or expertise in
cross-media recognition, retrieval and mining, and discuss
contributing and grounded ideas. We aim at obtaining a balanced
selection of papers coming from the different disciplines involved,
that clearly stress multimodal processing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Cross-media mining and categorization
Cross-media search and question answering
Cross-media summarization
Cross-media linking of entities, attributes, objects, and actions
Cross-media emotion detection and genre classification
Alignment algorithms
Image auto-annotation
Image and video retrieval based on multi-modal cues
Recognition of semantic roles and frames in text, images and video
Recognition of narratives in text and video
Spatial and temporal recognition and resolution
Multimodal discourse analysis
Submissions in pdf format should be made online at
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~liir/conferences/CIAM2009/index.php?topic=submit
before March 13, 2009, 23:59 (midnight) UTC+1. Papers should not be
more than 6 double-column pages long. Please follow the IJCAI
formatting instructions and use the supplied Word templates or Latex
sources. Formatting guidelines can be found at the IJCAI 2009
website. The reviewing process will be double-blind with each
submission receiving at least three reviews. Papers will be selected
for oral or poster sessions. All accepted papers (oral and poster)
will be published in the workshop proceedings. We are also arranging a
journal special issue for post-workshop publication of selected
papers.
