Frontiers in multimedia search
Alan Hanjalić, Martha Moon Larson · 2011
This outline summarizes our tutorial "Frontiers in Multimedia Search", whose goal is to provide insights into the most recent developments in the field of multimedia retrieval and to identify the issues and bottlenecks that could determine the directions of research focus for the coming years. We present an overview of new algorithms and techniques, particularly concentrating on those innovative approaches that are informed by neighboring fields including information retrieval, speech and language processing and network analysis. We also discuss evaluation of new algorithms, in particular, making use of crowdsourcing for the development of the necessary data sets.
