    > Current content-based information management involves many different
    > disciplines. Information must be retrieved from video, from sound, and
    > from images and graphs. Question answering involves both syntax and
    > semantics.
    >
    > Information classification and filtering involve machine learning and
    > linguistics. In addition, as information technology spreads throughout
    > the world, a wider variety of languages in increasingly complex
    > combinations must be handled.
    >
    > In response to these evolving needs, RIAO'2004 calls for papers covering
    > the coupling of techniques from different domains to improve information
    > retrieval. RIAO'2004 will present innovative research and developments
    > from all areas of multi-media and multi-language information
    > retrieval. Submissions, demonstrating combination of techniques from
    > disparate domains, may treat retrieval from either a single medium, or
    > across media (indexing one medium for find information in another), or
    > from coupling unstructured and structured information (e.g. exploiting
    > both text and XML structure), or from across languages.
    >
    > CONFERENCE THEMES:
    >
    > Paper submissions should cover one or more of the following themes:
