Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Affect & Sentiment in Multimedia

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 ACM Workshop on Affect and Sentiment in Multimedia -- ASM'15. This is the first workshop on affect and sentiment in multimedia with a focus on multimedia content analysis. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present and discuss the recent advancement in affective analysis in multimedia. ASM'15 gives researchers a unique opportunity to share their ideas in an interdisciplinary workshop. For this reason, we invited two keynote speakers from related fields, namely, psychology of emotion and recommendation systems to bring their perspectives to this multimedia related venue. The call for papers attracted 16 submissions from all over the world. The program committee reviewed and accepted 9 submissions. We also encourage attendees to attend the following keynote talk: "Blending Users, Content, and Emotions for Movie Recommendations," Shlomo Berkovsky, (CSIRO, Australia)
