IEEE ICSC-SMC 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------

First IEEE International Conference on Semantic Multimedia Computing (SMC ’17)

January 30 - February 1, 2017
Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa
San Diego, CA, USAwww.inf.unibz.it/~fpersia/smc17/

CALL FOR PAPERS

Semantic Multimedia Computing aims to develop algorithms for
enriching, accessing, and searching large quantities of data. Such
algorithms lie at the core of tomorrows’ search engines and
large-scale recommender systems. Thus, Semantic Multimedia Computing
sets its focus on developing systems that are oriented to the needs of
users, and that solve the challenges faced by large-scale online
content and service providers. Multimedia data analytics has also
applications in the full range of fields that benefit from data
science, including health, telecom, entertainment, geosciences, etc.
As a result, Semantic Multimedia Computing deals with the development
of technologies that make possible optimized interaction with large
collections of multimedia data (e.g., images, video, and music) in
real-world contexts (e.g., within social networks). That also requires
a combination of mathematical models, machine learning techniques, and
practical skills in algorithm development and evaluation.
This workshop aims at providing researchers and practitioners from
different areas (multimedia information retrieval, recommender
systems, multimedia signal processing, social network analysis, human
computation) with an interdisciplinary forum to present, discuss, and
exchange ideas that address the challenges of next-generation systems
dealing with Semantic Multimedia Computing. The workshop seeks
submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel
research results in all practical and theoretical aspects of Semantic
Multimedia Computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 Multimedia content analysis and search
• Semantics extraction from multimedia data.
• Multi-modal query expansion.
• Multi-source search result reranking.

 Multimedia information retrieval in a social network context
• Modeling information propagation and relationships in social networks.
• Collaborative recommender systems.
• Social recommendation.

 Interaction with multimedia content
• (Affective) User profiling.
• User (search/uploader) intent.
• Query failure prediction.
• Quality of multimedia experience.

 Multimedia content management
• Multimedia databases and dataspaces.
• Entity retrieval.

COMMITTEES

Program Chair
• Fabio Persia, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
