:::: LIFE LOG: Multimedia Archival of Your Life
Obviously, LIFE LOG have received a lot of attention lately. There are a number of problems:
Conferences:
:::: Video Abstraction Review Paper Updated
- Capture: what and when and by what devices, sensors.
- Indexing and data management: how to organize this massive amount of data, e.g., how to link data of different modality in a topical manner.
- Summarization: how to display the archieve or some part of its in a concise manner.
- Presentation: how to tell your life story or some part of it.
- Mircrosoft MyLifeBits: They seem to receive a lot of press attention.
- LIFE LOG at Aizawa Lab in Japan.
- External research programs sponsored by Microsoft, kinda related to MyLifeBits.
Conferences:
- The First ACM Workshop on
Continuous Archival and Retrieval of Personal Experiences (CARPE'04) and also CARPE'05. This is organized by SIGMM CARPE, this seems to be the main place for publications in the field now, and what am I doing? they seem to keep a list of research groups in the field now.
:::: Video Abstraction Review Paper Updated
I've updated the review paper for video abstraction techniques. There is also an updated bibliography file that contain new works from ICME'05 and ACMMM'05 conferences. New version of the paper can be downloaded from my publication page.
:::: TRECVID 2006
:::: TRECVID 2006
TRECVID have issued calls for participation. Details can be found here.
I'd line to participate in a couple of tasks, especially BBC rushes, but time would be an issue. I am also having some idea on a new SBD solution, which could potententially achieve some amazing results, but as this problem have been considered a "solved problem", I am not sure would it be worthwhile. If someone interested in the idea, please email me.

OVERVIEW
Extending beyond borders of culture, art, and science, the search for digital information is one of the major challenges of our time. Digital libraries, bio-medical science, the Internet, streaming video, databases, cultural heritage collections and peer-2-peer networks have created a worldwide need for new paradigms and techiques on how to browse, search, and summarize multimedia collections. MIR2004 is a peer-reviewed meeting for scientific researchers and users to discuss important challenges in multimedia retrieval. We are soliciting high quality original papers which address important issues in multimedia information retrieval including, but not limited to:
Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval
Bio-medical multimedia mining and indexing (MRI, X-Ray, CT, ...)
Indexing and retrieval from streaming audio & video
Summarization and visualization of multimedia
Multi-modal human-computer interaction
Query languages and query processing for multimedia retrieval
User perspectives and user modeling for multimedia retrieval
Semantic content analysis
Intelligent agents for multimedia indexing and retrieval
Multimedia retrieval for pervasive computing
Preserving cultural heritage
Multi-modal event detection and recognition
Retrieval from multi-modal life logs
High performance multimedia databases
Fusion of Multimedia
Content based retrieval of novel media
Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia data

:::: The ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications
This is introductory text from the journal website.
The ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications is a new ACM journal. It will focus on multimedia computing (I/O devices, OS, storage systems, streaming media middleware, continuous media representations, media coding, media processing, etc.), multimedia communications (real-time protocols, end-to-end streaming media, resource allocation, multicast protocols, etc.), and multimedia applications (databases, distributed collaboration, video conferencing, 3D virtual environments, etc.).
TOMCCAP is a peer-reviewed, archival journal, available in both print form and digital form. The Journal will initially be published quarterly; with 3-4 articles of approximately 25 pages each in each issue.
The transactions consists primarily of research papers. This is an archival journal and it is intended that the papers will have lasting importance and value over time. In general, papers whose primary focus is on particular multimedia products or the current state of the industry will not be included.
First publication is scheduled in the first quarter of 2005. The first call for paper is here.
