Searching for video, voice and speech [VVS] raises additional problems to specialized engines with respect to text search. Contextual searching and special patterns-based techniques are current solutions.
The goal of the Workshop on Advaced Searching on Voice, Video, and Speech Contents, VVSSearch 2007, is to bring together researchers from the academia and practitioners from the industry in order to address advanced techniques and mechanisms dealing with search engines for special content. Rapid search, accuracy, performance, noise and other search metrics are of particular interest.
The workshop will provide a forum where researchers shall be able to present recent research results and new research problems and directions related to them. The workshop seeks contributions presenting novel research in all aspects of advanced searching engines for voice, video and speech.
Topics of special interest (but not limited to):
- Engines and methods for VVS advanced searching
- Advanced process for multimedia information mining
- Searching using metadata, semantics, and ontology
- Advanced searching in digital libraries
- Advanced use of RDF and OWL
- Patterns in VVS searching
- Contextual VVS searching
- Rapid VVS searching
- Accuracy in VVS searching
- Noise in VVS searching
- Performance in VVS searching
- Metrics for VVS searching
- Text and VVS searching
- Applications of VVS
