Multimedia information
retrieval is a cross-cutting field. Extending beyond
the borders of culture, art, and science, the search for digital information is
one of the major challenges of our time. Digital libraries, bio-computing &
medical science, the Internet and social networking sites, streaming video,
multimedia databases, cultural heritage collections and P2P networks have
created a worldwide need for new paradigms and techniques on how to browse,
search and summarize multimedia collections and more generally how to afford
efficient multimedia content consumption.
The 11th ACM International
Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval (MIR) is the premier scientific
meeting for discussing the latest advances in the area of multimedia retrieval.
MIR 2010 is on its second year as a full ACM conference, following nine
successful years as a workshop held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia
Conference. The growth of MIR is a result the growing importance of multimedia
content in our lives. In MIR 2008, there were 308 submitted papers with an
overall (full and short papers) acceptance rate of 18%. The
conference was attended by more than 150 registered participants.
The purpose of MIR 2010 is to
bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. We are
soliciting original papers that address a wide range of issues in multimedia
information exploration, summarization and retrieval including, but not limited to:
-
Analysis, Indexing, Search and
Retrieval of multimedia data: images, video, audio, music, other data types,
multi-modal systems
-
Multimedia Data Mining
-
Personal Multimedia Content Management: analysis, search, retrieval, summarization
-
Learning, personalization and
relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval
-
Scalable indexing, search and
structuring
-
Novel Interfaces for multimedia management,
search and retrieval
-
Exploration of media archives: browsing, experiential
computing Interfaces and User Experience for multimedia exploration,
visualization,
-
Digital Life Experience analysis and retrieval - life
logs, digital immortality, life bits Video surveillance browsing and retrieval,
-
Context and content-based approaches to multimedia
retrieval
-
Mobile multimedia indexing, search and
retrieval applications
-
Identification and monitoring:
Trademark
search, multimedia copy detection, multimedia watermarking techniques
-
Application domains: Scientific
multimedia,
environmental studies, bio-computing and medical multimedia analysis and
indexing (MRI/CT, microscopic images, satellite imaging, sensors, etc.), preserving cultural heritages.
Special Sessions for emerging frontier theories
or applications in MIR. Note that the novelty requirement in these sessions
is much higher than the regular paper submissions. Information about these sessions will be available on the
conference Website.
Paper Submission
Full papers (10 pages in the
ACM style sheet in English) should be submitted through the website submission
system. Each author can be involved in at
most two submissions to this conference. The authors may choose to submit manuscripts for double-blind
review. If that is the case, we
recommend that the authors not give any indications of authorship in the text.
