SSMS 2007
Summer School on Multimedia Semantics
Analysis, Annotation, Retrieval and Applications
Glasgow, UK, July 15-21, 2007
***********************************************************
After a successful SSMS 2006 in Kallithea, Chalkidiki, Greece, the
second Summer School on Multimedia Semantics will be held in Glasgow
in 2007. It is organised by the Information Retrieval Group of the
Department of Computing Science at Glasgow University and has
financial and technical support from the aceMedia, K-Space and Salero
projects.
This Summer School, bringing together leading researchers and
practitioners, provides postgraduate students the opportunity to gain
deeper insight into the challenges related to multimedia semantics and
the increasingly emerging applications relying on multimedia
understanding, and to familiarize themselves with the diverse
disciplines involved. The Summer School will include lectures,
discussions and interactions with guest lecturers recognised as
experts in their fields, as well as demonstrations and panels.
Course Topics
+ Content processing, multimodal techniques, high dimensionality
reduction, low-level feature fusion
+ Knowledge-driven content-based, natural language and speech cross-
processing
+ Multimedia and the Semantic Web
+ Multimedia analysis and annotation ontologies
+ Knowledge-based, context aware inference for semantic multimedia
analysis
+ Scalable multimedia semantic metadata representation and content
transmission
+ Semantic adaptation, personalization and retrieval
