MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL, SIGIR workshop in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, July 27, 2007
New Challenges in Audio Visual Search
This fifth workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval took place in Amsterdam on July 27, 2007 in conjunction with SIGIR 2007. This full-day workshop had a special focus on “New Challenges in Audio Visual Search”. With the rising popularity of rich media services such as Flickr, YouTube, and Jumpcut, new challenges in large scale multimedia information retrieval have emerged that not only rely on meta-data but on content-based information retrieval combined with the collective knowledge of users and geo-referenced meta-data that is captured during the creation process. For the future, it is envisioned that multimedia search in mobile environments or on P2P networks will take on off a large scale. This workshop follows four previous SIGIR workshops on multimedia information retrieval (1998, 1999, 2003, 2005), and aims to address and explore new challenges in multimedia information retrieval by bringing both researchers and practitioners together. We encourage submission and participation in this workshop not only from the core Information Retrieval community but also from researchers in databases, multimedia and image processing thus cross-fertilizing to information retrieval research. We plan to organize a full day workshop with 3-4 theme oriented paper sessions, and a brainstorm session at the end of the day on user scenarios for multimedia retrieval in the new era. During the paper sessions we aim to provide ample room for discussion. The brainstorm session at the end of the day is planned to stimulate the interactive character of the workshop, and to allow for the exchange of ideas between academia and industry.
