International Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval MIR2000

November 4, 2000
Los Angeles, USA
in conjunction with ACM Multimedia Conference 2000

Presentation

New applications in training, simulating, marketing or electronic commerce now require the development of intelligent multimedia systems combining strengths of intelligent systems with multimedia. Such systems offer integrated tools for modeling, understanding, visualizing, retrieving and accessing large distributed multimedia databases. This leads to the development of novel techniques for image and video analysis, similarity retrieval or intelligent query management.
Following the success of the First International Workshop on Multimedia Intelligent Storage and Retrieval Management (MISRM) held in conjunction with ACM 1999 Multimedia Conference, we are organizing a second edition of this workshop with a focus on multimedia information retrieval.
The purpose of the International Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval (MIR) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry. The workshop will serve as a forum for discussion, presentation, and exploration of techniques, approaches and experiences in the field of multimedia information retrieval.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Multimedia data modeling
  • Multimedia visualization
  • Intelligent agents for multimedia indexing and retrieval
  • Multimedia indexing
  • Query languages for multimedia retrieval
  • Multimedia and media mining
  • Image and video database systems
  • Metadata for multimedia retrieval
  • Tools and standards
  • Video analyzing and indexing
  • Image similarity retrieval
  • Data quality for intelligent retrieval
