Variations on Multimedia Data Mining

Simeon J. Simoff

Abstract: Is multimedia data mining just a new combination of buzz-words or is it a new interdisciplinary field which not only incorporates methods and techniques from the relevant disciplines, but is also capable to produce new methodologies and influence related interdisciplinary fields. Rather than making an overview of existing methods and techniques, or presenting a particular technique, this paper aims to present some facets of multimedia data mining in the context of its potential to influence some relatively new interdisciplinary domains.
