RIAO'2004
Coupling Approaches, Coupling Media and Coupling Languages
for Information Retrieval
PROGRAM
University of Avignon (Vaucluse - France)
26-28 Avril 2004
www.riao.org <http://www.riao.org>
The seventh RIAO conference is organised by:
CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES D'INFORMATIQUE
DOCUMENTAIRE
(C.I.D., France)
in collaboration with the LIA (Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon -
Université d'Avignon)
with technical support from l'IRIT (Institut de Recherche en
Informatique de Toulouse)
in cooperation with the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA) LIST
Introduction
Current content-based information management involves many different
disciplines. Information must be retrieved from video, from sound, and
from images and graphs. Question answering involves both syntax and
semantics.
Information classification and filtering involve machine learning and
linguistics. In addition, as information technology spreads throughout
the world, a wider variety of languages in increasingly complex
combinations must be handled.
In response to these evolving needs, RIAO'2004 conference will cover the
coupling of techniques from different domains to improve information
retrieval. RIAO'2004 will present innovative research and developments
from all areas of multi-media and multi-language information retrieval.
Combination of techniques from disparate domains, will treat retrieval
from either a single medium, or across media (indexing one medium for
find information in another), or from coupling unstructured and
structured information (e.g. exploiting both text and XML structure), or
from across languages.
RIAO'2004 presents recent scientific progress in these areas with oral
presentations, demonstrations of research prototypes, as well as
presenting a selection of innovative products present on the market.
RIAO (which stands for Recherche d'Information Assistée par Ordinateur )
is organized every three years since 1985. Previous RIAO Conferences
were held in Grenoble, France (1985), at MIT in Cambridge
Massachussetts. USA (1988), in Barcelona, Spain (1991), in New York USA
(1994), at Mc Gill, Montreal (1997), and at the Collège de France, Paris
(2000) The conference is organized by the Centre de Hautes Etudes
Internationales d'Informatique Documentaire (C.I.D.) in conjunction with
various partners.
This year's conference presents research from 18 different countries,
two invited keynote speeches, 13 sessions of oral presentations, a
poster session and a session dedicated to cultural applications. The 51
papers presented, 16 posters, and various presentations will give an
overview of the state-of-the-art in this rapidly changing domain.
Concurrent to the scientific presentations, a wide variety of innovative
applications will be presented by an international selection of
companies. Each application was chosen by an Applications Committee
using the same criteria of quality and originality as the Scientific
Committee for the written scientific communications.

applications will be given free demonstration spaces.
The selection of the innovative applications and products is not
finished. The list of accepted ones will be soon available on the RIAO
web site
Applications and products will be chosen among the following topics:
* Multimedia indexing and retrieval systems (text, sound, speech,
images, video)
* Cross-lingual indexing and retrieval systems
* Peer-to-peer text search engines
* Cooperative Information Retrieval (grids)
* Automatic XML structuring of documents
* Automatic metadata generation for text, sound, and images,
automatic annotators
* Automated ontology construction and annotators
* Topic detection and event detection in streaming documents,
technology watch, strategy watch
* Intelligent message filtering
* Intelligent text agents
* Parent control and anti-spam control by content filtering
* E-learning - response interpretation
* Document summarisation -- mono or multilingual, mono or
multidocument, profile driven
* Topic maps
* Domain-specific application of information retrieval and
multimedia retrieval: medicine, e-commerce, computer-assisted
teaching, video production, etc
Demonstrations will be organized all along the conference and short oral
presentations will be held in parallel sessions, Monday afternoon (13:45
- 15:25 and 16:55 - 17:55)
