1st International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval
                              - AMR 2003 -
                                    
                  Part of KI 2003, 15-18 September 2003
                     University of Hamburg, Germany
             (http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~anuernb/amr2003/)
                                    
 During  the  last  years several approaches have  been  developed  that
 tackle  specific  problems  of  the  retrieval  process,  e.g.  feature
 extraction  methods  for multimedia data, problem  specific  similarity
 measures  and  interactive user interfaces. These  methods  enable  the
 design  of efficient retrieval tools if the user is able to provide  an
 appropriate query. However, user specific interests and search  context
 are usually neglected when objects are retrieved.
 To improve today's retrieval tools and thus the overall satisfaction of
 a user, it is necessary to develop methods that are able to support the
 user  in  the  search process, e.g. by providing additional information
 about the search results as well as the data collection itself and also
 by adapting the retrieval tool to the user's needs and interests.
 The  goals  of  the  workshop are to intensify the  exchange  of  ideas
 between different research communities to enable the design of improved
 user  adaptive  retrieval  tools. The workshop  focuses  especially  on
 researchers  that  are  working on feature  extraction  techniques  for
 multimedia,  computer  linguistic approaches, (dynamic)  data  analysis
 methods, and visualization methods as well as user interface design.
