4. Workshop topic and goals

i) Brief description of workshop goal
Relevance and significance of this workshop to the main conference.
Multimedia analytics and retrieval have gained significant improvement within the past
decade. People can now extract more data insights precisely and quickly towards having
many excellent applications serving human lives. Nevertheless, people create multimedia
and other types of data that reflect the diverse perspectives of human lives. In other
words, multimedia and other data types are just pieces of the puzzle of the world's big
picture. Hence, it is necessary to assembly all these pieces towards having a better
solution for human-centered problems. In other words, the demand for integrating
diverse multimodal data becomes an exciting challenge for various communities.
Therefore, the workshop can attract people who work with multimedia as well as other
areas and come from diverse research domains and disciplines such as wellbeing, disaster
prevention & mitigation, mobility, food computing, security, and smart city.
Originality and novelty of the proposed topic/topics.
People can currently collect data from themselves and their surrounding environment
quickly due to the exponential development of sensors, communication technologies, and
social networks. Besides, data has evolved and become more intelligent than ever. Thanks
to artificial intelligence and advanced application techniques, data can now be presented
in meaningful forms that provide more information and knowledge for other near-human-
cognitive analytics and retrieval. The ability to collect such (intelligent) data opens up to
new opportunities to understand better the association between human beings and their
surrounding environment's properties (i.e., humans as the center). These associations can
be utilized for intelligence, planning, controlling, retrieval, and decision making efficiently
and effectively by governments, industries, and citizens. Wearable and ambient sensors,
lifelog cameras, and social networks can report people's health, activities, and behaviors
from the first-view perspective. In contrast, surrounding sensors, social network
interaction, and third-party data can give the third-view perspective of how their society
activities look like. Several investigations have been done to deal with each perspective,
but few investigations focus on analyzing and retrieving cross-data from different
perspectives to bring better benefits to human beings. The workshop aims to attract
researchers to work on intelligent cross-data analysis and retrieval to bring a smart and
sustainable society to human beings. The research domain of corresponding applications
are vast and, to name a few, can cover well-being, disaster prevention & mitigation,
mobility, as well as food computing.
