Special Session on Multimedia and Multimodal Interaction for Health and Basic Care Applications(MMIH 2017)

Jan 4, 2017 - Jan 7, 2017

Reykjavik

Call For Papers

This special session aims at presenting the most recent works and applications in the area of multimedia analysis and multimodal interaction in the context of health and basic care. Leveraging on multidisciplinary expertise combining knowledge from research in multimedia analysis, as well as the multimodal interaction domains, new technologies are required to offer interactions, which are closer to the communication patterns of human beings and allow for a more "natural" communication with systems in the context of health and basic care. Of special interest to this session is the autonomous human-like social agents that can analyze, retrieve information and learn from conversational spoken and multimodal interaction in order to support health and basic care scenarios. Furthermore, submissions focusing on multimedia systems that support content exploration of videos from medical endoscopy are very welcome. 

Topics

The research topics of the special session include but are not limited to: 
- Multimedia analysis and retrieval for multimodal interaction in the health domain 
- Multimedia indexing and retrieval with video recordings from medical endoscopy 
- Multimodal conversation and dialogue systems for social companion agents 
- Exploration and retrieval in endoscopic video 
- Speech and audio analysis and retrieval for health applications 
- Facial analysis and gesture recognition in social agents 
- Fusion of multimedia information for health and care-giving applications 
- Semantic web approaches for multimedia health applications 
- Multimodal analytics for human machine interaction in the health domain 
- Web and social media retrieval for knowledge-based social companion applications
