Workshop on Multimedia Data Mining (MDM/KDD2000)
in conjunction with
Sixth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining August 20-23, 2000, Boston, MA, USA (KDD2000)
Workshop Web site: http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~zaiane/mdm_kdd2000/
INTRODUCTION
The increasing application of collaborative computing and multimedia document handling in the majority of government, business and educational intra- and internets provides enormous sources of various data, organized in different structures and formats. No wonder researchers in multimedia turned towards the field of data mining and knowledge discovery in databases in the search for techniques for improving the indexing and retrieval of multimedia information. In the beginning, a variety of techniques from machine discovery, statistics, databases, knowledge acquisition, machine learning, data visualization, image analysis, high performance computing, and knowledge-based systems, have been used mainly as a research handcraft activity. The development of multimedia databases and their query interfaces recall again the idea of incorporating data mining methods for dynamic indexing. Recently data mining efforts have focused in less formalized fields of art, design, hypermedia information systems, case-based reasoning and computational modeling of creativity. These and similar fields use variety of data sources, incorporated through sophisticated digital media data structures. As a result there is an urgent need for new techniques and tools that can transform these rich data into useful information and knowledge.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in analysis of digital media content, state-of-art data mining and knowledge discovery in multimedia database systems, knowledge engineers and domain experts from different applied disciplines with potential in multimedia data mining.
