SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MULTIMEDIA PRAGMATICS (MMPrag'19)

March 30, 2019, San Jose, California

Call For Paper

Most multimedia objects are spatio-temporal simulacrums of the real world. This supports our view that the next grand challenge for our community will be understanding and formally modeling the flow of life around us, over many modalities and scales. As technology advances, the nature of these simulacrums will evolve as well, becoming more detailed and revealing more information concerning the nature of reality to us.

In linguistics, pragmatics studies context and how it affects semantics. Context is usually culturally, socially, and historically based. For example, pragmatics would encompass a speakers intent, body language, and penchant for sarcasm, as well as other signs, often culturally based, such as the speakers type of clothing, which could influence a statement’s meaning. Generic signal/sensor- based retrieval should also use syntactical, semantic, and pragmatics-based approaches. If we are to understand and model the flow of life around us, this will be a necessity.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: :

• Affective computing
• Event modeling, recognition, and understanding
• Multimodal data modeling, dataset development, sensor fusion
• Structured semantic embeddings
• Multimodal analysis of human behavior
• Distributional semantics
• Storytelling
• Digital humanities
• Annotation techniques for natural language/images/videos/other sensor-based modalities
• Applications to ecology, environmental science, health sciences, social sciences
