Special Issue on DEPENDABLE SEMANTIC INFERENCE
 
Guest Editors:

 The goal of this Special Issue is to inspire and gather new,
 refreshing ideas in the field of content-based multimedia information
 indexing, search and retrieval that would make the solutions in the
 field mature enough to get adopted in practical systems and realistic
 application scenarios. In particular, this Special Issue focuses on
 the dependability of those critical parts of multimedia indexing,
 search and retrieval systems that deal with semantic
 inference. Semantic inference stands for the theories and algorithms
 designed to relate multimedia data to semantic-level descriptors to
 allow content-based search, retrieval and management of data. The
 Special Issue invites high-quality and original contributions that
 reach beyond conventional ideas and approaches and make substantial
 steps towards dependable, practically deployable semantic inference
 theories and algorithms.
