Multimedia information retrieval: what is it, and why isn't anyone using it?

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the participants of the panel at the 7th ACM SIGMM International Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval answer questions about what multimedia is, how MIR is different from other kinds of retrieval, the most important technical challenges in MIR, killer applications, opportunities, and future directions.
