DESCRIPTION
The grand challenge in information retrieval is concept detection in images, video, audio and text. Contributions in this area are leading to bridging the semantic gap and allowing search engines to understand imagery/text at a deep level. This special issue provides a focus on the state-of-the-art in concept detection with Big Data using visual, textual and/or audio datasets.
Big Data can be used for large scale concept detection (many images for many concepts) or in deep training of specific concepts (many images for a few concepts).
DATASETS
We recommend that the submissions address large well known datasets (a few examples would be ImageNet, MIRFLICKR, Wiki-Links, NUS-WIDE, ImageCLEF, MM Grand Challenge, YFCC100M or TRECVid. Contributions using other large datasets are welcome especially those using multiple media and/or scientific imaging sources)
