The 3rd Workshop on Many Faces of Multimedia Semantics will be a one-day
workshop to be held during the IEEE International Symposium on
Multimedia (ISM’09, http://ism2009.eecs.uci.edu/). It will take place in
Dec. 2009 in San Diego, USA.
Objectives
==========
Information is increasingly becoming ubiquitous and all-pervasive, with
the World-Wide Web as its primary repository. The rapid growth of
information on the Web creates new challenges for information retrieval.
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the investigation and
development of the next generation web – the Semantic Web.
Multimedia information has always been part of the Semantic Web
paradigm, but, in general, has been discussed very simplistically by the
Semantic Web community. We believe that, rather than trying to discover
a media object’s hidden meaning, one should formulate ways of managing
media objects so as to help people make more intelligent use of them.
The relationship between users and media objects should be studied.
Media objects should be interpreted relative to the particular goal or
point-of-view of a particular user at a particular time.
Content-based descriptors are necessary to this process. At the same
time, such descriptions are definitely not sufficient. Context is also
important, and should be managed. The area of emergent multimedia
semantics has been initiated to study the measured interactions between
users and media objects, with the ultimate goal of trying to satisfy the
user community by providing them with the media objects they require,
based on their individual previous media interactions.
The arrival of Web 2.0 has added new paradigms to the media mix. Such
concepts as folksonomies, a form of emergent semantics, introduce a
collaborative, dynamic approach to the generation of ontologies and
media object semantics. That such an approach results in a stable
semantics, though surprising, has been recently demonstrated.
As one can see, the field of multimedia semantics is in great flux at
the present time. Approaches which seek to unify these disparate
disciplines are especially necessary.
This will be a one-day workshop to be held during ISM’09. Besides the
standard research contributions, there will also be a poster session and
a session devoted to the presentation of results from current Ph.D.
students, as well as a keynote talk. Based on last year’s workshop, the
keynote will include discussions of necessary research agendas which
will bring together important subsets of the research communities
working on multimedia semantics, the Semantic Web, and Web 2.0. Best
papers of this workshop will be published in IEEE Multimedia.
