CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Session on Social Media Retrieval and Filtering (SMRF)
at the
9th International Workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing
13-15 June 2011, Madrid, Spain
http://www-vpu.eps.uam.es/cbmi2011/specialsessions.html#smrf
******************************************************************************
Nowadays, an ever increasing amount of multimedia content is available
on content sharing websites such as Flickr, Youtube or Facebook. This
content consists of text and multimedia data, enriched with additional
metadata (annotations, comments, tags, etc.). In addition, semantic
relationships between content and content sharers can be inferred by
considering the structure of the social content sharing websites.
However, this social factor has hardly been studied in the information
retrieval and recommendation domain. This special session aims at
state-of-the-art research approaches that address the underlying social
structure for retrieval and filtering of multimedia content.

Social Web, including, but not limited to the following research topics:
