Location based multimedia big data holds greatest potential for fundamentally changing how information is fast and effectively accessed and presented; how knowledge is sufficiently learned and extracted; and how business s practiced. With a huge volume of Internet based, mobile and sensor-generated multimedia data reaching to Exabyte scale, how to develop advanced data mining/information retrieval techniques and systems is becoming more and more important. Many believe location based multimedia search, indexing and retrieval offers the scholars from different disciplines a unique opportunity to design, implement and test methodical approaches and (or) intelligent systems at many different levels using many different ways. In addition to the underlying technologies mobile content delivery and streaming, media geo-tagging, multimedia security and forensics can be applied to a wide range of novel applications such as market intelligence, e-commerce and urban planning.

Speech is inarguably the most preferred and natural way of communication for humans. Speech is transmitted from a speaker to a listener in the form of an acoustic signal. The signal carries abundant information, including the linguistic content, the speaker’s voice characteristic, health and emotional conditions, and the ambient environment. Speech signals have many distinctive features that are not found in other signals from the natural world. Musical signal processing has a wide range of applications including; digital compression and coding of music for efficient storage and transmission on mobile phones and portable music players, modeling and reproduction of the acoustics of music instruments and music halls, digital music synthesizers, digital audio editors, digital audio mixers, spatial temporal sound effects for home entertainment and cinemas, music content classification and indexing and music search engines for Internet
