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.
