PARIS, COLLEGE DE FRANCE April 12-14, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The theme of the conference is “Content-Based Multimedia Information Access”. The conference scope sill range from the traditional processing of text documents to the rapidly growing field of automatic indexing and retrieval of images and speech and more generally, to all processing of audio-visual and multimedia information on various distribution venues, including the Net. The Conference is of interest for several scientific communities, including Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, Spoken Language Processing, Computer vision, Human-Computer Interaction and Digital Libraries. RIAO 2000 will, thereby, serve as a forum for cross-discipline initiatives and innovatives applications.
RIAO 2000 will present recent scientific progress, demonstrations of prototypes resulting from the research as well as the most innovative products now appearing on the market.
The International Conference RIAO (RIAO = recherche d’information assistée par ordinateur – Computer Assisted Information Retrieval) is held every three year. Sites for the Conference have been : Grenoble, France (1985); MIT,Cambridge MA. USA (1988) ; Barcelona, Spain (1991) ; New York N.Y. – University of Rockefeller (1994 and Montréal CANADA, McGill University (1997).
The Conférence RIAO is organized by the «CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES D'INFORMATIQUE DOCUMENTAIRE (C.I.D). - Paris, France and the “CENTER FOR THE ADVANCED STUDY OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS, Inc. (C.A.S.I.S.) New York, N.Y. U.S.A.
RIAO 2000 has been organized under the sponsorship of :
· The European Community
· The French Ministry of Education, Research and Technology
· The DGA, CEA and ELRA
