>
> Coupling Approaches, Coupling Media and Coupling Languages for
> Information Retrieval
>
> Avignon (Vaucluse), France

> April 2004
>
> Organized by:

> Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales d'Informatique Documentaire
> (C.I.D., France)

>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> Current approaches to content-based information management involve many
> different disciplines. Interesting research is addressing the problems
> of information retrieval from mixed media and languages (e.g. from video
> with images, sound and text; documents with text, image and graphics),
> and from applying mixed approaches from different domains (e.g., from
> speech and text processing, from machines learning and
> linguistics). Applications such as question answering involve both
> semantics and syntax; some approaches involve analyzing both the
> reference database and the Web. As information technology spreads
> throughout the world, it must handle a wider variety of languages,
> retrieving information in and between increasingly complex combinations
> of languages.
>
> As a response to this evolution, RIAO'2004 calls for papers covering the
> coupling of techniques from different domains to improve information
> retrieval from a single media, or from across media (indexing one media
> for find information in another), or from coupling unstructured and
> structured information (e.g. exploiting both text and XML structure), or
> from across languages.
>
> RIAO'2004 will also present innovative research and developments
> illustrating the important obstacles in multi-media and multi-language
> information retrieval. In RIAO'2004 there will be special focus on
> techniques which couple disparate technologies or approaches.
>

> committee, on the basis of their innovation and future or present
> marketability. Selected applications will be given free demonstrations
> spaces.
