Media

With increasing integration of computing, broadcasting, networking and the internet, multimedia information has become pervasive and permeates almost every aspect of our lives. Increasingly, we find information coming in different media forms, multiple external sources and encoded in various knowledge representations. Typical media types include text, image, video and audio. Major parallel sources of information may come from the Web, and social network sites such as Wikipedia. To process such information effectively and efficiently, the ability to analyse and fuse the myriads of related sources of information has become critically important. Correspondingly, the media group is organised to include researchers in the
 fields of multimedia systems, computer vision, computer graphics, natural language processing and machine learning. Overall, the group conducts research related to the generation, processing, understanding, display, interaction, transmission and storage of multimedia information. The group is active in both basic and systems research, including works of industrial impact. Members of the group are involved in international professional activities, including chairing major international conferences, serving on editorial boards and technical programme committees. Media group members also participate in various national level technical committees, including chairing a grants programme of a major national funding agency.
