Aim and Scope 

 

MUWS Workshop is a forum bringing together researchers and practitioners
from the fields of Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing,
Computer Vision, Human Computation, and Semiotics to discuss and
evaluate methods and solutions for effective and efficient analytics of
multimodal information present in the Web or social media.

 

We are interested in approaches, tasks, and metrics for effectively
analysing multimedia information such as image-text pairs and videos to
design methodologies that jointly consider information from multiple
modalities. The interdisciplinary nature of processing such multimodal
data involves combining ideas and methods from the fields mentioned
above. We envision the workshop as a forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry for original contributions and
practical application on multimodal information processing, mining,
retrieval, search, and management. This workshop also aims to explore
these semantic relations theoretically and computationally in
conjunction with existing computational multimodal research.

 

Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

    - Multimodal Event Detection, and Understanding

    - Multimodal News Analytics

    - Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

    - Multimodal Emotion Recognition

    - Multimodal Sarcasm Detection

    - Multimodal Hate Speech Detection

    - Misinformation Detection for Multimodal Data

    - Unsupervised, Self-supervised, or Semi-supervised Learning for
Multimodal Data

    - Multimodal Question Answering Systems

    - Image-text Relations, Cross-modal Relations

    - Semantic Relations (semiotics)

    - Multimodal Rhetoric in Online Media

 

 

Submission Instructions

 

                The proceedings of the workshops will be published in
