Research papers in machine learning for multimedia classification explore intelligent techniques to automatically analyze and categorize multimedia data such as images, audio, video, and text. Traditional approaches rely on feature extraction methods (e.g., SIFT, HOG, MFCCs) combined with classifiers like support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision trees, and random forests. More recent studies focus on deep learning architectures including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image and video classification, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), LSTMs, and transformers for temporal sequence analysis, and multimodal learning models that fuse audio, visual, and textual features for comprehensive classification. Applications span facial recognition, speech emotion detection, video scene understanding, music genre classification, medical image analysis, and surveillance systems. Key challenges addressed in the literature include handling large-scale multimedia datasets, class imbalance, noise reduction, and ensuring real-time performance. Advances in transfer learning, self-supervised learning, and federated learning are also being integrated to improve efficiency, privacy, and adaptability. Overall, research in this field highlights how machine learning enables accurate and scalable multimedia classification, supporting domains like healthcare, security, entertainment, and human-computer interaction.
