3rd Summer School on Multimedia Semantics
1-5 September 2008
Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania, Crete, Greece
http://www.mesh-ip.eu/?Page=ssms08
Understanding and thereby manipulating multimedia content at the semantic
level is the only way towards realizing the full potential of emerging
digital media technologies aimed at the delivery of compelling multimedia
solutions. The integration of knowledge, semantics and low-level
multimedia processing for the purpose of automatic semantics extraction
from multimedia content is still the subject of active research in
academia and industry. The purpose of this event is to bring the relevant
academic and media professional societies closer to the latest research
and commercial developments providing the opportunity to gain deeper
insight into the related research challenges and the ever increasing
number of new applications.
SSMS has been held on two previous occasions and 2008 will build upon the
success of these events. A notable novel aspect of this year's programme
is the objective to connect multimedia semantics researchers with the
professional media sector. To this end, two groups of attendees will be
catered for: postgraduate students and researchers attending a 5-day
programme centred around state-of-the-art technologies and research issues
; and professionals attending a 3-day programme explaining the application
of semantic technologies to their day-to-day activities. Selected common
sessions will allow interaction between the two groups for a creative
exchange of views.
The programme for students and researchers will include the following
sessions:
# Multimedia Signal Processing, Dr Noel 'O Connor
# Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Cross-modal analysis and fusion,
Dr Alexander Hauptmann
# Semantic Web and Multimedia, Prof Steffen Staab
# Multimedia Ontologies for Reasoning and Analysis, Prof Ralf Moeller
# Multimedia Information Indexing and Retrieval, Prof Alan Smeaton
# Multimodal interaction, Prof Lynda Hardman
# Semantic Multimedia and Industry: Applications and Trends, Dr Paola
Hobson
# Semantics in Computer Graphics, Dr Michela Spagnuolo
# Social Networks and Multimedia Semantics, Dr Peter Mika
Registration is open until 15 May 2008 at:
