Michael Lew
Prof. Michael S. Lew (born 19 April 1965[1]) is a scientist in multimedia information search and retrieval at Leiden University, Netherlands.[2] He has published over a dozen books and 150 scientific articles in the areas of multimedia search, computer vision, human computer interaction, and information retrieval.[3][4] Notably, he had the most cited paper in the highest impact multimedia research journal indexed by the Web of Science (ISI Thomson Reuters),[5] and the most cited article from the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval in 2008 and also in 2010.[6] He was the opening keynote speaker for the 9th International Conference on Visual Information Systems,[7] the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Multimedia Information Retrieval (Springer), the co-founder of influential conferences such as the International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (which became the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval),[8] and the IEEE Workshop on Human Computer Interaction.[9] He was also a founding member of the international advisory committee for the TRECVID video retrieval evaluation project,[10] chair of the steering committee for the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval and a member of the ACM SIGMM Executive Committee (the highest board of the SIGMM) . His work is frequently cited in both scientific and popular news sources.
