[Corpora-List] CfP for Special Session "User-centric Video Search and Hyperlinking" at ICMR'14

[Maria Eskevich]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting high quality papers to the following special session at ICMR'14 in Glasgow, UK (http://www.icmr2014.org/?page_id=307).

== User-centric Video Search and Hyperlinking ==

Recent years have seen extensive interest in video search focusing on retrieval of visual shot level units, and linking of multimedia documents clusters faces or other properties assuming someone wants to group those documents. While there has been much progress in developing methods for improved search effectiveness, this research generally focuses on technical aspects of retrieval.

This special session will focus on video search from a user-centric perspective and targets a real-world use-case scenario. We step forward from the search of textual information or of the relevant video content in response to a user search query, and focus on the search through video content that is supported by the navigation in the video collection using inter and cross-item hyperlinks. The search and linking might be based on both spoken and visual content targeting the diversity in the results to satisfy potential variety of user interests.

User studies suggest users interests are multimodal in nature. Successful search and hyperlinking to relevant content thus requires creation and  exploitation of  multi-modal queries combining visual, audio and textual features. This special session aims to bring together researchers working on video search and hyperlinking to find solutions for tasks motivated by real-world use-case scenarios.

We particularly encourage papers that present methods covering the complete search and hyperlinking use-case across all content modalities.

Ideal submissions will cover some or all of the following aspects in a close connection to the search and hyperlinking use-case:

Automatic multi-modal query generation Models to identify video segments that are usable for linking as source anchors and link targets Methods for creation of effective links Evaluation of user-centric search and hyperlinking User studies related to search and hyperlinking scenarios
