WORKSHOP ON MULTIMEDIA SEMANTICS
In conjunction with SOFSEM 2002, www.sofsem.cz
November 28-29, 2002, Milovy, Czech Republic
The site of this workshop is a few hours by car from both Prague and
Vienna. The best papers from the workshop will appear in a special issue
of Multimedia Tools and Applications
>From November 24-29, SOFSEM 2002 will have five invited talks on various
aspects of multimedia by Sankar Basu (IBM), Alberto del Bimbo (Universita
di Firenze), Forouzan Golshani (Arizona State University), Maria Luisa
Sapino (University of Turin), and Marcel Worring (University of
Amsterdam).

TOPICS
Feature-based techniques for content-based retrieval have been studied for
quite some time. What is now needed is for researchers to develop
approaches to extract semantics from multimedia documents so that
retrievals using concept-based queries can be tailored to individualusers.
The semantic gap, or, as others put it, the semantic chasm, must be
crossed. This workshop will concentrate on techniques to help us do this.
The main topics include, but are not limited to:
* Adaptive query techniques
* Monomedia querying in a multimedia environment
* (Semi-)automatic methods for multimedia annotation
* Visual ontologies
* Dimensional reduction techniques
* Intelligent browsing support
* Emergent semantics
