This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2007, held in Paris, France, in July 2007. The 18 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on image annotation, feedback and user modelling, music retrieval, fusion, P2P and middleware, databases and summarization, as well as ontology and semantics.

Novel processing and searching tools for the management of new multimedia documents have developed. Multimedia Information Retrieval (MIR) is an organic system made up of Text Retrieval (TR); Visual Retrieval (VR); Video Retrieval (VDR); and Audio Retrieval (AR) systems. So that each type of digital document may be analysed and searched by the elements of language appropriate to its nature, search criteria must be extended. Such an approach is known as the Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR), and is the core of MIR. This novel content-based concept of information handling needs to be integrated with more traditional semantics. Multimedia Information Retrieval focuses on the tools of processing and searching applicable to the content-based management of new multimedia documents. Translated from Italian by Giles Smith, the book is divided into two parts. Part one discusses MIR and related theories, and puts forward new methodologies; part two reviews various experimental and operating MIR systems, and presents technical and practical conclusions. - Gives a complete, organic picture of MIR and CBIR - Proposes a novel conceptualisation around the ideas of Information Retrieval (IR) and digital document management in the context of Library and Information Science (LIS) - Relevant for both library and information science and information technology specialists

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, held in September 2005. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Also included are three invited papers by leading researchers in the area to illustrate the core topics of the workshop: User, Context and Feedback. The papers are organized in topical sections on ranking, systems, spatio-temporal relations, using feedback, using context, and meta data.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2011, held in Barcelona, Spain, in July 2011. The 9 revised full papers and the invited contribution presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover topics ranging from theoretical work to practical implementations and its evaluation, most of them dealing with audio or music media. They are organized in topical sections on evaluation and user studies, audio and music, image retrieval, and similarity and music.

Data mining continues to be an emerging interdisciplinary field that offers the ability to extract information from an existing data set and translate that knowledge for end-users into an understandable way. Data Mining: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a comprehensive collection of research on the latest advancements and developments of data mining and how it fits into the current technological world.
