Workshop Topics:

MDM/KDD 2012 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:
* Emerging technology of data mining for mobile applications.
* Emerging technology of data mining on media rich platforms and location enhanced environments (location based services like Foursquare, mobile maps, navigation systems, GIS applications).
* Multimedia data mining across platforms, including web and mobile devices.
* Mining large datasets of user generated content with a geographical dimension.
* Anomaly and outlier detection in multimedia databases.
* Merging and integration of mining results from different sources (e.g, ensembles, fusion techniques, etc.).
* Scalable mobile multimedia computing.
* Scalable mobile visual search.
* Predictive and prescriptive multimedia data modeling.
* Privacy preserving data mining.
* Mining multimedia time series.
* Multi-objective multimedia data mining.
* Scalable data mining techniques for large-scale multimedia databases.
* Human-computer interfaces for multimedia data mining.
* Topic and event discovery in large multimedia repositories.
