Meeting Description:
Internation Conference, with adjoining presentation of innovative applications.
RIAO'2007 will be held at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA from May 30 until June 1, 2007. This triannual international conference is the 8th RIAO after conference held at Grenoble (1985), MIT (1988), Barcelona (1991), Rockefeller University (1994), Montreal (1997), Paris (2000), and Avignon (2004).
The RIAO conferences have always treated robust and large-scale scientific and industrial solutions to information processing. The conferences are composed of peer-reviewed scientific sessions and demonstrations of innovative industrial applications and advanced research prototypes.
Scope of the Conference
Papers are invited on recent, substantial, original and unpublished research that has been validated to the level of the creation of a functioning prototype. We are interested in large-scale solutions to the problem of accessing the semantic content found in unstructured text, images, video and audio. Research describing solutions to these problems from the following perspectives:
* Automatic indexing of video, images, and speech
* Improved indexing of text, image, video and sound
* Ontologies and unstructured data
* Semantic Web and Ontologies for Full-Scale Information Retrieval
* Automatically producing textual descriptions of images
* Automatically adding metadata to video and sound
* Indexing and retrieval of mixed-media documents
* Indexing interactive documents
* Natural interface dialogue
* Multimedia question answering systems
* Competitive Intelligence
* Intelligent Search Agents
* Multimodal search
* Architectures for semantic treatment of very large databases
* Algorithms for semantic treatment of very large databases
* Comprehension-based question answering and summarization
* Cooperative indexing between media
* Semantics for less studied languages
* Semantic representations and standards
* Collaborative construction of semantic resources
* Indexing multilingual collections
* Automatic extraction of ontologies from unstructured data
* Aligning multilingual ontologies
* Language resources for multimedia indexing
* Extracting semantic resources from raw data
* Semantic annotation of blogs and videoblogs
* Exploiting large-scale resources for e-learning
* Structuring cultural heritage
* Technological, commercial, industrial watch systems
* Semantic access to large and open archives

* David A. Evans (Americas)
* Chantal Soulé-Dupuy (Europe)
* Sadaoki Furui (Asia)
Paper Submission
We welcome submissions both from the research community and industry treating the main conference theme of treating the semantic content of large quantities of text, images, videos, and sound.
Submitted papers should describe original work, emphasizing completed or well advanced, rather than intended, research. The state of completion of the reported work must be clearly indicated. Where appropriate, results should be rigorously evaluated; the assessment of statistical significance for quantitative results is encouraged.
Submissions should contain original material that has not been previously presented to the scientific community. A parallel submission to other publication for a as well as a significant overlap in contents with previously published work should be clearly indicated to the program committee.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. The submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, technical quality, and presentation.
Papers can be submitted in two categories: full papers and short papers, where full papers are appropriate for describing substantial research with well-evaluated results and short papers will typically describe ongoing research and preliminary results. All accepted papers in both categories will be published in the conference proceedings. At the conference, full papers will be presented as a talk and short papers will be presented as a poster.
The long papers must not be more than 20 pages, on one column, starting with an abstract. The short papers must not have more than one column, starting with an abstract. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word format or in PDF.
The conference proceedings will be available to conference attendees and through the CID after the conference.
