ICME 2009 Workshop - Internet Multimedia Search and Mining IMSM'09

Call for Papers

With the explosion of video and image data available on the Internet, online multimedia search becomes more and more important. Moreover, mining semantics and other useful information from large-scale Internet multimedia data to facilitate online and local multimedia content analysis, search, and other related applications has also gained more and more attention from both academia and industry.

On the one hand, the rapid increase of online multimedia data brings us new challenges to multimedia content analysis and multimedia retrieval especially in terms of scalability. Both computational costs and accuracy are still far from satisfactory. While on the other hand, Internet also provides us new opportunities to attack these challenges as well as conventional problems in media analysis and computer vision. That is, the massive associated metadata available on the Internet, as well as the massive grassroots Internet users, are valuable resources that can be leveraged to solve the aforementioned difficulties.

Recently, more and more researchers are realizing both the challenges and the opportunities for multimedia research brought by the Internet. This workshop aims at bringing together high-quality and novel research works on ¡°Internet Multimedia¡±, or more specifically, Internet-based multimedia search as well as Internet-based multimedia mining. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

Internet video/image search ranking and reranking by combining textual description and video/image content.

General video/image search ranking and reranking by exploiting Internet data and/or users.

Internet video/image classification, annotation, and tagging. Approaches which can handle large-scale data are more preferred.

General video/image classification, annotation, and tagging by leveraging Internet data and/or users.

Internet video/image search result presentation and management, such as clustering, summarization, and browsing.

Video/image processing using Internet data as a knowledge base.

Tag recommendation, filtering, and ranking based on image/video social tagging.

CBIR for large-scale datasets (i.e., high-dimensional feature indexing).

Query suggestion for video/image search based on both text and image/video data.

Knowledge mining from Internet multimedia data, such as mining semantic distance of keywords or images, and mining video/image copy relationships (e.g., given a video/image, to find all videos/images on the Internet that have the same content with the video/image, either entirely or partially).

Submissions for this workshop are required to use the same format as regular ICME papers. All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. Extended version of selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal in multimedia area (pending).
