CfP: ACM MIR2008

The ACM International Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval is a premier scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the area of multimedia retrieval. All papers in the main track must be high quality original papers which address important issues in multimedia exploration, summarization and retrieval including, but not limited to:

Explorationof media archives - browsing, experiential computing
Interfacesfor multimedia exploration, visualization, query and retrieval
Indexing and searchof multimedia data: images, video, audio, multi-modal systems
Digital life experienceanalysis and retrieval - life logs, digital immortality, life bits
Video surveillancebrowsing and retrieval, object detection and recognition, archiving
Learning and relevance feedbackin multimedia retrieval
Applications- world wide web searching, preserving cultural heritage, trademark search, data mining, person identification, scientific media, bio-computing and medical multimedia mining/indexing
Brave New Topics Session- pioneering new theories or applications in MIR. Here we emphasize "brave", presumably something that is either unprecedented or looked impossible at the beginning but turns out to be a great idea.
