    MLMI'07 call for posters and demos
    (apologies for multiple postings):

                     4th Joint Workshop on Machine Learning
                      and Multimodal Interaction (MLMI'07)

                              28-30 June 2007
                            Brno, Czech Republic

                           http://www.mlmi07.org

    * Important dates

    Submission of abstracts for posters and demos: 23 March 2007
    Acceptance decisions: 17 April 2007
    Workshop: 28-30 June 2007

    * Guidelines for submission

    For posters and/or demonstrations, extended abstracts of 1-2 pages
    should be submitted at http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlmi07/ (PDF format).

    Following the workshop, authors of posters and demonstrations will be
    invited to submit long versions of their presentations (up to 12 pages),
    to be considered for publication in a volume of revised papers. In
    common with the previous MLMI workshops, all the papers selected by the
    Program Committee will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in
    Computer Science series (cf. LNCS 3361, 3869, 4299).

    For the post-conference submission, the Springer LNCS format for
    proceedings and other multiauthor volumes will be required
    (http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0).

    * Workshop topics

    The fourth MLMI workshop will take place in Brno, Czech Republic,
    following successful workshops in Martigny (2004), Edinburgh (2005) and
    Washington, DC (2006). MLMI brings together researchers from the
    different communities working on the common theme of advanced machine
    learning algorithms applied to multimodal human-human and human-computer
    interaction. MLMI'07 will follow on directly from the annual conference
    of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL/EACL 2007, Prague,
    June 25-27, 2007).

    MLMI'07 will feature talks (including a number of invited speakers),
    posters and demonstrations. Prospective authors are invited to submit
    proposals in the following areas of interest, related to machine
    learning and multimodal interaction:
      - human-human communication modeling
      - human-computer interaction modeling
      - speech processing
      - image and video processing
      - multimodal processing, fusion and fission
      - multimodal discourse and dialogue modeling
      - multimodal indexing, structuring and summarization
      - annotation and browsing of multimodal data
      - machine learning algorithms and their applications to the topics above

    * Satellite events

    MLMI'07 will feature special sessions and satellite events such as the
    Summer school of the European Masters in Speech and Language
    (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/emasters/) and the PASCAL Speech Separation
    Challenge II (http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlincol1/SSC2/). To propose
    other special sessions or satellite events for MLMI'07, please contact
    the organizing committee.

    * Venue

    Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and the capital of
    Moravia. Brno had been a royal city since 1347 and is the country's
    judiciary and trade-fair center. With a population of almost four
    hundred thousand and its six universities, Brno is also the cultural
    center of the region.

    Brno can be easily reached by direct flights from Prague, London and
    Munich and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km).

    MLMI'07 will take place at the Hotel Continental
    (http://www.continentalbrno.cz), a modern hotel located in a quiet part
    of the city within walking distance from the city center. The local
    organizers are members of the Faculty of Information Technology
    (http://www.fit.vutbr.cz) at Brno University of Technology, which was
    founded in 1899 as the Czech Technological University.
