Knowledge Acquisition from Multimedia Content Workshop

This workshop shall introduce briefly related research activities of two European research projects, BOEMIE and LIVE, which both aim to enhance the automatic understanding of Olympic sports events. Whereas BOEMIE concentrates on ontology evolution and learning, LIVE targets real-time recommender systems for broadcasters able to analyse Olympic sport events and recommend suitable data from a production archive. Any contribution related to these topics is welcome; the workshop shall trigger an open discussion on these topics with all participants.

The workshop includes two key note speeches from Alan Smeaton, Dublin City University and Fabio Ciravegna, University of Sheffield along with a call for papers.
