>

>  
> 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.
