Call for papers
The fourth MLMI workshop is coming to Brno in the Czech Republic, following successful workshops in Martigny (2004), Edinburgh (2005) and Washington, DC (2006). MLMI brings together researchers from the different communities working on the common theme of advanced machine learning algorithms applied to multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction. The motivation for creating this joint multi-disciplinary workshop arose from the actual needs of several large collaborative projects.
Workshop topics
MLMI-07 will feature talks (including a number of invited speakers), posters and demonstrations. Prospective authors are invited to submit proposals in the following areas of interest, related to machine learning and multimodal interaction:
- human-human communication modelling
- human-computer interaction modelling
- speech processing
- image and video processing
- multimodal processing, fusion and fission
- multimodal discourse and dialogue modelling
- multimodal indexing, structuring and summarization
- annotation and browsing of multimodal data
- machine learning algorithms and their applications to the topics above
Guidelines for submission
Submissions are invited in one of the following formats:
- full papers for oral or poster presentation (12 pages) [CLOSED]
- extended abstracts for poster presentation only (1-2 pages)
- extended abstracts for demonstration proposals (1-2 pages)
NOTE: Following the workshop, authors of posters and demonstrations will be invited to submit long versions of their presentations (up to 12 pages), to be considered for publication in a volume of selected papers.
In common with the previous MLMI workshops, all the papers selected by the Program Committee will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (cf. LNCS 3361, 3869, 4299).
Please submit PDF files using the submission website at http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlmi07/, following the Springer LNCS format for proceedings and other multiauthor volumes (this format is required only for full papers): http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0
