Workshop Topics:

MDMKDD 2011 will bring together experts in the analysis of digital media content, multimedia databases, knowledge engineers and domain experts from different applied disciplines with potential in multimedia data mining. A new focus in this edition of the workshop is the emerging multimedia applications on mobile devices. Other major topics of the workshop include but are not limited to the following:
Data mining on media rich platforms and immersive environments (on-line communities, blogs, social networks, virtual communities, virtual worlds).
Mining large datasets of user generated content (e.g., YouTube, Flickr, etc.).
Multimedia data mining across platforms, including web and mobile devices.
Emerging technology of data mining for mobile applications.
Predictive and prescriptive multimedia data modeling.
Privacy preserving data mining.
Mining multimedia time series.
Multi-objective multimedia data mining.
Anomaly and outlier detection in multimedia databases.
Merging and integration of mining results from different sources (e.g, ensembles, fusion techniques, etc.).
Scalable data mining techniques for large-scale multimedia databases.
Human-computer interfaces for multimedia data mining.
Topic and event discovery in large multimedia repositories.
