Document Retrieval . Recovery and use of logical structure for retrieval . Information extraction from forms . Keyword spotting in document images . Approximate string matching algorithms for OCR’ed text . Non-textual retrieval and search in multimedia databases . Summarization of text documents and imaged documents . Text categorization from imaged documents . Cross-language and multi-lingual retrieval . Benchmarking and evaluation issues . Relevance feedback techniques for document retrieval . Impact of recognition accuracy on retrieval effectiveness . Techniques to support spoken language access to document text (audio browsing of document databases)

Notes: Submissions to Document Recognition and Retrieval XVI should be abbreviated papers (5-7 pages). The paper should be informative and make sure to address the following questions: i) What is the paper about? ii) What is the original contribution? iii) What is the most closely related work by others and how does this work differ? iv) What are the main experimental/theoretical results?

If you are qualified and would like to compete for the Best Student Paper, please indicate in the abbreviated paper. Full papers (10-12 pages) will be needed for the final proceedings. Please contact Kathrin Berkner (berkner@rii.ricoh.com) or Laurence Likforman-Sulem (likforman@telecom-paristech.fr) for questions related to the conference.
