    KDMCD'2002

    International Workshop on Knowledge Discovery in Multimedia and
    Complex Data (KDMCD'02), Taipei, Taiwan, May 6, 2002
    http://db.cs.ualberta.ca/kdmcd02/

    In conjunction with the Sixth Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge
    Discovery and Data
    Mining (PAKDD-02), Taipei, Taiwan, May 6-8 2002

    OBJECTIVES

    Multimedia Data Mining, also known as Knowledge Discovery from
    Multimedia, is not Information Retrieval from multimedia, contrary to
    popular belief, but the extraction of interesting patterns and new facts
    from multimedia objects. Knowledge discovery in multimedia databases is
    focused on the synergy between two fields: Knowledge Discovery and
    Multimedia Databases. Knowledge discovery and data mining, which consist
    in extracting valuable and relevant knowledge from large volumes of
    data, have received much attention these last years. The approaches used
    for knowledge discovery are non-trivial and often domain specific,
    depending on the canonical mining primitives. The data patterns
    discovered are typically used in decision-making whether in business, in
    scientific research or other. While significant research has been done
    on knowledge discovery from large corpora, most of the approaches are
    related to numerical transactional data such as market-basket analysis,
    web activities, etc., thus very little has been achieved on mining
    multimedia data probably due to the complexity of multimedia and
    multimedia repositories.
    The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in digital media
    content analysis, state-of-art data mining and knowledge discovery in
    multimedia database systems, knowledge engineers and domain experts from
    diverse applied disciplines with potential in multimedia data mining.

    TOPICS OF INTEREST

    The major topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
    - - Multimedia specific data mining methods and algorithms,
    - - Complexity, efficiency and scalability of multimedia data mining
    algorithms,
    - - Multimedia data mining and interactive exploration,
    - - Data and Knowledge visualization,
    - - Mining and analysis of data generated by virtual reality systems,
    - - Integrated data mining of text and image data,
    - - Discovery in musical data,
    - - Methods for the evaluation of mining results,
    - - Knowledge Discovery in other complex data (Spatial, VRML, XML, etc.),
    - - Data description languages, meta data, data formats,
    - - Representation of discovered knowledge for data mining in multimedia,
    - - Multimedia data representation and reuse of discovered knowledge,
    - - Techniques for web multimedia preparation, including cleaning,
    - - Transforming, sampling,
    - - Multimedia mining methodologies for different web data types,
    - - Web-content mining,
    - - Internet portal and multimedia mining,
    - - Multimedia applications of knowledge discovery,
    - - Intelligent electronic documents, - Content-based discovery methods.
    We also encourage submissions, which present early stages of research
    work, software applications and solutions.
