The digital acquisition of information - known as Information Retrieval - has gained enormous importance in recent decades. Due to modern technologies and the spread of multimedia content, the focus is shifting more and more toward Multimedia Information Retrieval (MMIR). This well-founded and comprehensive textbook conveys the fundamentals and formal concepts of MMIR and connects them in a practical way with current developments from research and technology. Both the classical models of MMIR and modern, AI-based methods are presented. The book is aimed at computer science students as well as teachers and professionals in the field of software development who deal with topics such as multimedia, information processing, or user interaction.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
