Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proliferation and importance of multimedia data have increased significantly in recent years. This is obvious for the World Wide Web (social media data, videos, etc.), but, also, automatically-generated sensor data have become more and more relevant. In the era of big data, automatic indexing and understanding of multimedia information are essential to enable semantic content-based searches. Advanced analytics and intelligent human–computer interaction technologies are crucial to enable the exploration of large multimedia and multimodal datasets. Finally, there is a call for more transparency in (multimedia) retrieval systems—applications ranging from detection and adaptation of biased machine learning models to automatic identification of fake information.
In this Special Issue we seek for contributions in the field of multimedia/multimodal analysis and retrieval in a broad sense. We invite submissions from, but not limited to, the following subject areas:
(a) analysis and understanding of multimodal data and cross-modal searches;
(b) social media analysis;
(c) affective multimedia content analysis;
(d) multimedia analytics, machine learning and deep learning for multimedia;
(e) HCI and visualisation for exploration of large multimedia databases
(f) multimedia applications for academic search, digital humanities, sports, medicine, etc.
