SAMT2009

The 4th International Conference on Semantic and Digital Media Technologies (SAMT '09) targets at narrowing the large disparity between the low-level descriptors that can be computed automatically from multimedia content and the richness and subjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretations of audiovisual media - The Semantic Gap.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Semantic Analysis of Multimedia
  • Knowledge assisted multimedia analysis
  • Content-based multimedia analysis linked with natural language/speech processing
• Semantic Retrieval of Multimedia
  • Semantic-driven multimedia indexing and retrieval
  • Semantic retrieval of 3D objects
  • Machine Learning and relevance feedback for finding semantics
  • Semantic-driven multimedia content adaptation and summarization
• Semantic Metadata Management of Multimedia
  • Metadata management for multimedia
  • Multimedia ontologies and infrastructures
  • Standards bridging the multimedia and knowledge domains
• Semantic User Interfaces for Multimedia
  • Interfaces and personalization for interaction with large multimedia repositories
  • Semantic media annotation
  • Inference and machine learning for semi-automatic annotation
  • Browsing multimedia archives
  • Device-specific access to and adaptation of multimedia
• Semantics in Visualization and Computer Graphics
  • illustrative depiction and rendering
  • mapping meaning to presentation content
  • smart virtual environments
  • supporting knowledge discovery
• Applications of Semantic Multimedia
  • Social multimedia tagging
  • Context, user, network and semantics-aware media engineering
