Information about the Conference: SoICT 2023 is an international scientific conference specializing in information technology and communication, covering important research areas: AI and Big Data, Network and Communication Technologies, Image Processing and Natural Language Processing, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Technologies, Information Security, and Event Information Retrieval from Video.

The SoICT 2023 conference will take place in Ho Chi Minh City, organized by the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication - Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Natural Sciences - Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Sciences, Laboratory Informatics, Modelling and Optimization System (LIMOS), The French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), and the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM) on December 7-8, 2023.

Abstract: "In the world today, exploring information has become a critical part of modern life. As a result, search engines have shown their ability to enhance the knowledge-seeking process. However, these search engines still focus on searching for websites or images. The capacity to find information in videos is extremely needed to experiment and study more in order to improve the power of search engines. In this study, we investigate the potentiality of in-video information search engines by introducing BlazeSearch, a multimodal search engine designed to search frames of video with simple input text. By leveraging the OpenCLIP model, which is superior for the image-text retrieval task, our search engine can be guaranteed reliability and accuracy. Furthermore, we optimize the searching speed and provide an easy-to-use, fully functional user interface for BlazeSearch, which can help users have a pleasant experience."
