to: February 26, 2025 (AoE) Scope The 18th International Conference on
Similarity Search and Applications (SISAP) is an annual forum for
researchers and application developers in the area of similarity data
management. It aims at the technological problems shared by numerous
application domains, such as data mining, information retrieval, multimedia
retrieval, computer vision, pattern recognition, computational biology,
geography, biometrics, machine learning, and many others that make use of
similarity search as a necessary supporting service. From its roots in
metric indexing, SISAP has expanded to become the only international
conference entirely devoted to all issues surrounding the theory, design,
analysis, practice, and application of content-based and feature-based
similarity search. Since 2021, SISAP has been a CORE Rank B conference. The
conference proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume in the
Springer Lecture <http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs> Call
for Special Sessions at SISAP 2025 Special sessions are mini-venues, each
focusing on one state-of-the-art research direction within the field of
similarity search and applications. Special session papers will supplement
the regular research papers and be included in the proceedings of SISAP
2025, which will be published by Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Special sessions should generally be
organized in a moderated panel format, typically led by one of the special
session chairs, where the authors have reduced time to present their work,
followed by an extensive Q&A session with the audience. It is expected that
special session chairs attend the conference. The panel format is a general
guideline rather than a strict requirement. If a proposal envisages a
different session format, we are open to such a submission and would
negotiate it further. Special Session Proposal Submission Instructions
Special session proposals must be submitted by email to
sisap2025@isti.cnr.it <sisap2025@isti.cnr.it> by February 24, 2025.
Proposals will be evaluated by SISAP 2025 general chairs and program
committee chairs, based on the relevance to SISAP, qualification(s) of the
organizer(s), proposal quality, and anticipated community interest in the
topic/proposed potential papers. Please include the following information
in your proposal: - Title (and preferably an acronym) of the proposed
special session.- Name, affiliation, brief biography and contact
information for each of the organizers.- A session abstract including
significance justification and a brief overview of the state-of-the-art of
the proposed special session topic. Note: The session abstract should be in
a format that can be copied directly to the conference web-page to
advertise the session.- List of solicited papers, if applicable, including
for each paper: tentative title, author list, and preferably a short
abstract; if session chairs anticipate submitting to their session, it is
worth noting here as well.- Proposal for arrangement of the reviews from
session organizers (e.g. list of reviewers for the special session).-
Description of the session format (e.g. panel, technical talks, poster
session).- Plans for advertising the special session (e.g. targeted
distribution lists, projects, communities). Topics of Interest Topics of
interest to the SISAP community include (but are not limited to) the
following: - Similarity- Similarity queries (k-NN, range, reverse NN,
top-k, Approximate and/or precise solutions, etc.)- Similarity measures
(for vectors, graphs, structures, time series, complex data, tensors,
secondary similarity, etc.)- Similarity operations (joins, ranking,
classification, categorization, filtering, etc.)- Scalability- Indexing and
access methods for similarity-based processing-
High-performance/large-scale similarity search (distributed, parallel,
etc.)- Data management (transaction support, dynamic maintenance, etc.)-
Theory- Models of similarity- Intrinsic dimensionality and Curse of
dimensionality- Discriminability and contrast- Languages for similarity
databases- Manifolds and subspaces- Analytics, Learning, Artificial
Intelligence- Feature selection and extraction for similarity search-
Representations learning for feature extraction- Visual analytics for
similarity-based operations- Learning/adaptive similarity measures-
Similarity in learning and mining- Merging/combining multiple similarity
modalities- Evaluation- Evaluation techniques for similarity queries and
operations- Cost models and analysis for similarity data processing-
Performance studies and comparisons- Test collections and benchmarks-
Applications- Multimedia retrieval systems- Dense retrieval- Vector
databases- Similarity search in emerging data domains- Applications of
similarity-based operations- Industrial applications and case studies-
Similarity search cloud services- Security and privacy of in similarity
search- Similarity for forensics and security Organization Steering
