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 7 books and 100 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] was the opening keynote speaker for the 9th International Conference on Visual Information Systems (2007),[6] the co-founder of influential conferences such as the International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval[7] and the IEEE Workshop on Human Computer Interaction.[8] He was also a founding member of the international advisory committee for the TRECVID video retrieval evaluation project[9] and chair of the steering committee for the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval. His work is frequently cited in both scientific and popular news sources.
