EXTENDED Submission Deadline: June 22, 2003 <<<<

Workshop Web page: http://www.kdnet.org/control/multimedia_discovery

Collocated with: The 14th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML) and The 7th European Conference Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD)

Invited Speaker: Alexander Hauptmann, CMU

Scope: ====== For Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery, multimedia mining brings new challenges as data is extremely large in size, uses different modalities and has a rich internal structure. Required technologies are speech recognition, text mining, video and image analysis, information retrieval, and summarization.

Addressing the above issues requires an awareness of the research achievements in various research and cross-disciplinary research efforts. Particular topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to:

* Theoretical framework for multimedia data mining; * Complexity, and scalability of multimedia mining algorithms; * Classification of multimedia documents; * Clustering and proximity of multimedia documents; * Detection of novel or interesting documents; * Multimedia data mining methods and algorithms; * Preprocessing and representation of multimedia data; * Multimedia data representation and formats; * Event or Topic detection in multimedia data; * Selection of novel or interesting documents; * Learning using different data sources and modalities; * Extraction and representation of semantic relations for multimedia; * Working multimedia mining systems.

Submission Guidelines: ======================

Submissions should be sent by June 13, 2003, in electronic form as a PDF or PostScript file to Gerhard.Paass@ais.fraunhofer.de mailto:Gerhard.Paass@ais.fraunhofer.de, Subject: MultimediaMining-2003 workshop submission paper.

The papers should be formatted as for the main ECML/PKDD-2003 conference submissions. This is according to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be downloaded at http:/www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The maximum length of papers is 12 pages.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by referees from the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the working notes provided by ECML/PKDD-2003 and possibly the selected papers will be published as a Springer series book. The authors will be notified about the acceptance or rejection of their papers by July 4, 2003. Camera-ready versions of the papers are due July 11, 2003.

Attendance: ===========

Attendance is not limited to the paper authors. We strongly encourage interested researchers from related areas to attend the workshop. The intended audience for the workshop involves researchers and practitioners interested in mining different type of multimedia data. Firstly, we would like to attract potential users working in the media industry (e.g. broadcasters), which can clarify user demands on multimedia mining. Then we aim for experts on the technical background and standards (e.g. MPEG7) of multimedia. Finally data mining and machine learning researchers interested in audio, image, text and multimedia mining are expected to contribute to the workshop.

Important Dates: ================

Submission Deadline: June 22, 2003 Acceptance Notification: July 4, 2003 Camera-ready Copies: July 11, 2003 Workshop date: September 22, 2003
