Quickies

Posted by eduardovalle on Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I am visiting the Mathematical and Computing Sciences Instiute of the University of São Paulo (ICMC – USP) at São Carlos, on Tuesday, November 24. I’ll visit Professors Agma Traina and Caetano Traina Jr. and their team — they have a long experience on similarity search, and have proposed the Slim-Tree, a metric space technique. I’ll give a talk on the Scalability Issues of Multimedia Information Retrieval.
That same week, I am visiting the Mathematics and Statistics Institute of the University of São Paulo (IME – USP) at São Paulo, on Friday, November 27. I’ll visit Professor Roberto Cesar Jr. and his student, the Ph.D. candidate Marcelo Hashimoto, both of whom I had the pleasure to meet on last SIBGRAPI. I’ll also give a talk there, the title will be announced soon. (EDIT 26/11: The talk will be about “Similarity search for Multimedia” and will be heavily based on my SBBD 2009 Tutorial — more details can be found on my Google Calendar).
The slides of my (and Prof. Matthieu Cord’s) Tutorial on Similarity Search and High-Dimensional Indexing, which I gave at this year’s SBBD, are finally available.
I am still working to make available the slides of my (and Prof. Matthieu Cord’s) Tutorial on Advanced Techniques for CBIR, which I gave at this year’s SIBGRAPI. The companion article to the tutorial, however, is already available.
