Attend the 1st International Workshop on Web-Scale Multimedia Corpus (WSMC09) on 23 October 2009, held in conjunction with ACM International Conference on Multimedia, Beijing Hotel, Beijing, China

Congratulations to Rachid Benmokhtar who has successfully defended his PhD thesis "June 9, 2009. Title : " Multi-level fusion for content-based semantic multimedia indexing and retrieval "Multi-level fusion for content-based semantic multimedia indexing and retrieval" on June 9th, 2009.

Congratulations to Marco Paleari for wining the Best Student Paper Award at the International Workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI'08) with the paper "Toward emotion indexing of multimedia excerpts".

I was visiting Prof Chua Tat-Seng and his group at the National University of Singapore (NUS) from July to September 2008. Benoit Huet

Biography:

Benoit Huet received his BSc degree in computer science and engineering from the Ecole Superieure de Technologie Electrique (Groupe ESIEE, France) in 1992. In 1993, he was awarded the MSc degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Westminster (UK) with distinction, where he then spent two years working as a research and teaching assistant. He received his DPhil degree in Computer Science from the University of York (UK) for his research on the topic of object recognition from large databases. He is currently working as a research and teaching assistant in the multimedia information processing group of the Institut Eurecom (France).His research interests include computer vision, content-based retrieval, multimedia data mining and indexing (still and/or moving images) and pattern recognition. He has published over 80 papers in journals, edited books and refereed conferences. He is a member of IEEE, ACM and ISIF. He has served in many international conference organisation and technical program committee. He is regularly invited to serves as reviewer for prestigous scientific journals as well as expert for project proposal at national, European and International level. He is the conference chair of the upcoming International Conference on Multimedia Modeling (MMM'2009) which is to take place in Sophia-Antipolis (France) in january 2009.

My current research interests include the following topics:

MultiMedia (Image and Video) Database,
Video Object Indexing,
Visual Data Mining,
Graph-Based Automated Moving Objects Extraction,
