Subject:  Workshop on Accessing Multimedia Information, UK

******** Call for participation *********

Effective, automatic access to multimodal information has been the
goal of computer system developers for years. The Institute of
Language, Speech and Hearing (ILASH), University of Sheffield, would
like to invite you to a half-day workshop that will address this
topic. The aim of the event is to create a forum for discussion of new
approaches as compared to what is considered state-of-the art in the
field, through the presentation of (what is essentially just a small
part of) current research in the U.K.

Participation to the workshop is open to both researchers/academics
and students, for free.  Please, reply to: Katerina Pastra
e.pastra at dcs.shef.ac.uk to let us know that you will attend the
event:
