Near-duplicate detection has attracted in recent years considerable attention due to the large practical significance of this problem for online application and the continuing growth observed on the Internet. In this special session we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners tackling various aspects of near-replica detection. The proposed areas of focus are (although are not limited to):
* Benchmark collections and evaluation * Application-specific definitions of near duplicates * Image/Audio based near-replica detection * Block-level vs document level near-replica detection * Spam and email filtering * Plagiarism * Scalability * New and novel applications of near duplicate detection Submissions formatted according to the CIDM 2007 guidelines <http://ieee-ssci.org/cidm2007/submit> should be sent via email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Important Dates: * Paper Submission November 15, 2006 * Notification of Acceptance: December 15, 2006 * Camera Ready Submission January 15, 2007 * Conference April 1-5, 2007 For more information, visit the main page on near-duplicate detection <http://ir.iit.edu/%7Ealek/dedup07.html>.
