Analysis of multimedia content enables us to better understand what the content is about in order to improve its indexing, representation, and consumption for the purpose of retrieval, content creation/enhancement and interactive applications. Research so far has mostly focused on mono-modal analysis of multimedia content, such as looking only into images, only into text, or only into video, but ignoring other modalities like the text floating around an image on a web page or the audio accompanied with the video.
The goal of this area is to attract novel multimodal analysis research that takes multiple modalities into account when it comes to multimedia content analysis and better description of the multimedia content. The different modalities may be temporally synchronized (e.g., video clips and corresponding audio transcripts, animations, multimedia presentations), spatially related (images embedded in text, object relationships in 3D space), or otherwise semantically connected (combined analysis of collections of videos, set of images created by one’s social network).
