This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2012, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2012.The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover topics of state of the art contributions, features and classification, location context, language and semantics, music retrieval, and adaption and HCI.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2003, held in Hamburg, Germany in September 2003.The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Also included are three invited papers by leading researchers in the area to provide introductory and background information and to complete coverage of the relevant aspects. The papers are organized in topical sections on retrieval systems, texts and ontologies, feature extraction from video, image retrieval, and sound.

This book is an extended collection of revised contributions that were initially submitted to the International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval (AMR 2005). This workshop was organized during July 28-29, 2005, at the U- versity of Glasgow, UK, as part of an information retrieval research festival and in co-location with the 19th International Joint Conference on Arti?cial Int- ligence (IJCAI 2005). AMR 2005 was the third and so far the biggest event of the series of workshops that started in 2003 with a workshop during the 26th German Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (KI 2003) and continued in 2004 as part of the 16th European Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (ECAI 2004). Theworkshopfocussedespeciallyonintelligentmethodstoanalyzeandstr- ture multimedia collections, with particular attention on methods that are able to support the user in the search process, e. g. , by providing additional user-and context-adapted information about the search results as well as the data coll- tion itself and especially by adapting the retrieval tool to the user’s needs and interests. The invited contributions presented in the ?rst section of this book— “Putting the User in the Loop: Visual Resource Discovery” from Stefan Rug ¨ er, “Using Relevance Feedback to Bridge the Semantic Gap” from Ebroul Izquierdo and Divna Djordjevic, and “Leveraging Context for Adaptive Multimedia - trieval: A Matter of Control” from Gary Marchionini—illustrate these core t- ics: user,contextandfeedback. Theseaspectsarediscussedfromdi?erent points ofviewinthe18contributionsthatareclassi?edintosixmainchapters,following rather closely the workshop’s sessions: ranking, systems, spatio-temporal re- tions, using feedback, using context and meta-data.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2006, held in Geneva, Switzerland in July 2006. The papers cover ontology-based retrieval and annotation, ranking and similarity measurements, music information retrieval, visual modeling, adaptive retrieval, structuring multimedia, as well as user integration and profiling.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2007, held in Paris, France, in July 2007. The 18 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on image annotation, feedback and user modelling, music retrieval, fusion, P2P and middleware, databases and summarization, as well as ontology and semantics.

This bookis aselectionoftherevisedcontributionsthatwereinitially submitted to the International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval (AMR 2008). TheworkshopwasorganizedattheFraunhoferInstitute forTelecommunications HHI, Berlin, Germany, during June 26-27, 2008. The goalof the AMR workshopsis to intensify the exchangeof ideasbetween di?erentresearchcommunities,toprovideanoverviewofcurrentactivitiesinthis areaandtopointoutconnectionsbetweenthediverseresearchescommunities,in particular the ones focussing on multimedia retrieval and arti?cial intelligence. In this spirit, the ?rst three events were collocated with Arti?cial Intelligence conferences: in 2003 as a workshop of the 26th German Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (KI 2003); in 2004 as part of the 16th European Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (ECAI 2004) and in 2005 as part of the 19th International Joint Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (IJCAI 05). Because of its success, in 2006 the University of Geneva, Switzerland organized the workshop for the ?rst time as a standalone event.The motivation of the participants led us to continue this path, and thus AMR 2007 and AMR 2008 were again organizedas independent events at the Laboratoired'Informatique de ParisVI in France and at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin, respectively. The workshop in 2008 revealed four main subtopics: summarization, ident- cation and recommendation. These challenges addressed image, Web and music data,thelatterbeingastrongandnewpushintheAMRseries.Therefore,inthis edition, adaptive retrieval-the core subject-was tackled from quite di?erent and innovative perspectives.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2009, held in Madrid, Spain, in September 2009.The 12 revised full papers and the invited contribution presented were carefully reviewed. The papers are organized in topical sections on grasping multimedia streams; pinpointing music; adapting distances; understanding images; and around the user.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR 2010, held in Linz, Austria, in August 2010. The 14 revised full papers and the invited contribution presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Context-based personalization; media information fusion; video retrieval; audio and music retrieval; adaptive similarities; and finding and organizing.
