Open Meeting of the Participants (Location to be announced) |
During the last years several approaches have been developed that tackle specific problems of the retrieval process, e.g. feature extraction methods for multimedia data, problem specific similarity measures and interactive user interfaces. These methods enable the design of efficient retrieval tools if the user is able to provide an appropriate query. However, in most cases the user needs several steps in order to find the searched objects. The main reasons for this are on the one hand, the problem of users to specify their interests in the form of a well defined query (which is partially caused by inappropriate user interfaces), on the other hand, the problem of extracting relevant features from the (multimedia) objects. Furthermore, user specific interests and search context are usually neglected when objects are retrieved.
To improve today’s retrieval tools and thus the overall satisfaction of a user, it is necessary to develop methods that are able to support the user in the search process, e.g. by providing additional information about the search results as well as the data collection itself and also by adapting the retrieval tool to the user’s needs and interests.
The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas between different research communities to enable the design of improved user adaptive retrieval tools. The workshop focuses especially on researchers that are working on feature extraction techniques for multimedia, computer linguistic approaches, (dynamic) data analysis methods, and visualization methods as well as user interface design. Therefore, contributions to the workshop should focus on, but are not limited to:
May 24, 2003 Deadline for paper submission
June 10, 2003 Notification of acceptance
July 31, 2003 Deadline for submission of camera ready copy
Submissions should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style (for details see the Springer LNCS web-pages). Papers should have about 10 pages but should not exceed 15 pages and should be submitted electronically in PDF or postscript format to the organizers of the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.
