The new year is already boosting a lot of activity: I just submitted an exciting grant proposal, got invited for the technical program committee of the 2008 ACM Multimedia Conference, and I was also invited to attend the Dagstuhl Seminair on Contextual and Social Media Understanding and Usage in Germany. This topic certainly has my attention and will no doubt generate a lot of interesting research the coming years.
Together with Yantao Zheng, Huanbo Luan, and Tat-Seng Chua from the National University of Singapore I am organizing a special session on ‘Challenges in Interactive Video Search’ at the forthcoming ACM CIVR 2008 conference. The session will include 5 invited presentations only, so it is not possible to submit to this session unfortunately.
Our tutorial on ‘Semantic Indexing and Retrieval of Video’ was accepted for the forthcoming IEEE ICME conference in Hannover. This half day tutorial on June 23, 2008 is especially meant for researchers who are new to the field or who have recently started in this exciting direction.
It covers basic video indexing techniques, large-scale concept-based video indexing, concept-based video retrieval, and demonstrations of the MediaMill Semantic Video Search Engine.
Drop me an email if you would like to have more information.
Is a blog :)
Stay tuned in 2008…
