                      Call For Papers and Applications

                                 RIAO'2004

       Coupling Approaches, Coupling Media and Coupling Languages for
                           Information Retrieval


                  University of Avignon (Vaucluse), France

                          April 26th-28th, 2004


   Organized by:

     CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES D'INFORMATIQUE
DOCUMENTAIRE
     (C.I.D., France)in cooperation with the LIA (Laboratoire 
     d'Informatique d'Avignon- Universit� d'Avignon)
     and with technical support of IRIT (Institut de Recherche en
     Informatique de Toulouse)


   CALL FOR PAPERS

   Current  content-based information  management  involves many 
different disciplines. Information must be retrieved from  video, from
sound, and from  images and graphs.  Question answering  involves both
syntax and semantics.

   Information classification and filtering  involve machine learning
and linguistics. In addition, as  information technology spreads
throughout the   world, a   wider variety  of   languages in 
increasingly complex combinations must be handled. 

   In  response  to these    evolving  needs, RIAO'2004 calls for   
papers covering the  coupling of techniques from  different domains to
improve information retrieval. RIAO'2004 will  present innovative
research and developments from    all  areas  of   multi-media  and   
multi-language  information  retrieval.   Submissions,   demonstrating
combination  of techniques from disparate  domains,  may treat
retrieval from either a single  medium, or  across   media  (indexing 
one medium for finding  information in another), or  from coupling
unstructured  and structured   information  (e.g. exploiting both  
text and XML structure), or  from    across languages.


   Conference Themes:

   Paper submissions should cover one or more of the following themes:

     Multimedia information:

     * Media-specific indexing techniques (text, speech, fixed and
       animated images, music)
     * Indexing composite documents
     * Querying multimedia documents
     * Automatically generating text from images and from video
     * Indexing interactive documents

     Multilingual Information:

     * Cross-lingual information retrieval, especially involving 
       rarer languages

     * Multimodal interfaces
     * Coupling access through structure and through content
     * Automatic presentation of search aids (e.g. key words, phrases)
     * Neuroscience applied to information recognition

     Architecture for Combined Approaches:

     * Architecture for coupling techniques (e.g. Machine Learning for
       Content Management)

     Specific Systems Combining Diverse Approaches:

     * Systems for Collaborative Information Retrieval

 Coupling Approaches, Coupling Media and Coupling Languages for
Information Retrieval

 

University of Avignon (Vaucluse), France

April 26th-28th, 2004

 

Organized by:

CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES D'INFORMATIQUE DOCUMENTAIRE
(C.I.D., France)

in cooperation with the LIA (Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon -
Universit� d'Avignon)

and with technical support of IRIT (Institut de Recherche en
Informatique de Toulouse)

  

CALL FOR PAPERS

Current content-based information management involves many different
disciplines. Information must be retrieved from video, from sound, and
from images and graphs. Question answering involves both syntax and
semantics.

Information classification and filtering involve machine learning and
linguistics. In addition, as information technology spreads throughout
the world, a wider variety of languages in increasingly complex
combinations must be handled.

In response to these evolving needs, RIAO'2004 calls for papers
covering the coupling of techniques from different domains to improve
information retrieval. RIAO'2004 will present innovative research and
developments from all areas of multi-media and multi-language
information retrieval. Submissions, demonstrating combination of
techniques from disparate domains, may treat retrieval from either a
single medium, or across media (indexing one medium for find
information in another), or from coupling unstructured and structured
information (e.g. exploiting both text and XML structure), or from
across! languages.

Conference Themes:

Paper submissions should cover one or more of the following themes:

Media-specific indexing techniques (text, speech, fixed and animated
images, music) Indexing composite documents

Indexing interactive documents 
Multilingual Information:

Cross-lingual information retrieval, especially involving rarer
languages Automatic construction of bilingual lexicons and term banks

Architecture for Combined Approaches:

Architecture for coupling techniques (e.g. Machine Learning for
Content Management) Architecture for coupling media
Architecture for treating multilingual information
