Scope of the Workshop

Multimedia systems are becoming increasingly popular in medical, industrial, ecological, biotechnological and many other application domains. Multimedia data includes signals of 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional nature, video, audio, text, trajectories, and data streams. Existing statistical and knowledge-based techniques to analyse and interpret these signals lack robustness, accuracy and flexibility. New strategies are needed that can adapt to changing environmental conditions, signal variation, user needs and process requirements. Applying Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) strategies in multimedia data interpreting systems can help satisfy these requirements. CBR can be used to control signal processing in all phases of an interpreting system to derive information of the highest possible quality. Beyond this, CBR supports different learning capabilities throughout the signal interpretation process that satisfy different needs during the development phase of the system. The unique data and the necessary computation techniques require extraordinary case representations, similarity measures and case-based reasoning strategies to be utilised. This workshop should provide a forum for discussion of the specific topics related to CBR on multimedia data.

The goals of this workshop are to:

provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities for research on case-based reasoning as it applies to multimedia data

promote the systematic study of how to apply case-based reasoning to images, signals, video, audio, trajectories and data streams

show case applications of case-based reasoning on multimedia data.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

CBR for signals, images, video, audio and text

Similarity assessment for signals, images, video, audio, and text

Case representation and case mining for multimedia data

Retrieval and indexing of signals, images, video, audio and text

Conversational CBR for multimedia retrieval systems

Meta-learning for model improvement and parameter setting for processing with CBR

Incremental model improvement by CBR

Case base maintenance for systems with multimedia data

Case authoring

Life-time of a CBR system

Measuring coverage of case bases

Analogical reasoning for computer vision, signal processing and others

CBR in robot navigation

CBR for medical applications using multimedia data
