A Framework for Cross-language Search Personalization
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):15 - 20
Cited by: Papers (1)Search personalization is an area of considerable research interest. In this paper, we propose a framework for personalizing cross-language search using user models. Our work extends existing studies in two directions. First, the framework extends to the area of cross-language information retrieval. Second, the study aims to elicit features of cross-language search behavior from multilingual searc... View full abstract»

Ontology Mapping: The Case of the CINeSPACE Project
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):21 - 26Ontology mapping is required to combine heterogeneous ontologies. Developing such ontology mapping has been a core issue of recent ontology research. This paper presents the mapping of several standard domain ontologies in order to implement the CINeSPACE integrated ontology. Four source ontologies have been selected and the set of overlapping concepts that are similar in meaning has been determin... View full abstract»

Generalized Concept Overlay for Semantic Multi-Modal Analysis of Audio-visual Content
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):27 - 32In this work, the problem of performing multi-modal analysis of audio-visual streams by effectively combining the results of multiple uni-modal analysis techniques is addressed. A non-learning-based approach is proposed to this end, that takes into account the potential variability of the different uni-modal analysis techniques in terms of the decomposition of the audio-visual stream that they ado...

DMS-1 Driven Data Model to Enable a Semantic Middleware for Multimedia Information Retrieval in a Broadcaster
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):33 - 37
Cited by: Papers (1)This article presents the motivation and the implementation of a semantic model developed to support diverse semantic services in a multimedia asset management system in a broadcaster. The model is mainly driven by DMS-1 (descriptive metadata scheme) standard, which is part of the multimedia exchange format standard defined by the broadcast industrial community and according to our knowledge we pr...

Towards a Personalized Blog Site Recommendation System: A Collaborative Rating Approach
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):38 - 43
Cited by: Papers (2)The blogosphere is a part of the Web, enhanced with several characteristics that differentiate blogs from traditional websites. The number of different authors, the multitude of user-provided tags, the inherent connectivity between blogs and bloggers, the high update rate, and the time information attached to each post are some of the features that can be exploited in various information retrieval...

Semantic Multimedia Document Adaptation with Functional Annotations
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):44 - 49The diversity of presentation contexts for multimedia documents requires the adaptation of document specifications. In an earlier work, we have proposed a semantic adaptation framework for multimedia documents. This framework captures the semantics of the document composition and transforms the relations between multimedia objects according to adaptation constraints. In this paper,we show that rel...

Investigation of Image Models for Landmark Classification
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):50 - 55One commonly used approach to scene localization and landmark recognition is to match an input image against a large annotated database of images using local image features. However problems exist with these approaches relating to memory constraints and the processing time required to compare high dimensional image feature vectors in a very large scale database. We investigate a new landmark class... View full abstract»

Towards Interactive Image Query System for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):56 - 61This paper presents an interface of image query system for content-based image retrieval.The proposed interface can split images into the regions and select an target region from the separated regions. We apply content-based image retrieval to the selected region as a query.The images in databases are also split into the areas in advance.The content features such as color and texture are extracted...

Identifying Personalization Patterns Using Intelligent Techniques in XML-Based Communication Records
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):62 - 66This position paper presents some techniques for revealing personalization and users' calling behavioral patterns by using XML-based communication records from simulations. A short description of the most common methods applied is provided, along with a case study for potential application employing real telecommunication call detail records (CDRs). Finally, we describe an intelligent architecture... View full abstract»

Concept Space Rating for Personalization of Learning Materials Based on Relations
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):67 - 72
Cited by: Papers (1)The problem of navigation of the student over learning objects can be solved either by creating relations between learning objects or by using metadata of learning objects stored in concepts space of the domain. Every learning object has such defined metadata in a form of relation to several concepts. Concepts space contains information about structural and dependency relations between concepts. W...

Image Descriptors Based on the Edge Orientation
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):73 - 78
Cited by: Papers (2)Edges are one of the most important image visual features. They are highly related with shapes and can also be representative of the image textures. Edge orientation histograms are usually very reliable descriptors suitable for image analysis, search and retrieval. In this work two methods to compute edge based orientation descriptors are reported: the "Edge Pixel Orientations Histogram" and the "... View full abstract»

Experimental Evaluation of the MPEG-7 Visual Descriptors for Object Classification
Publication Year: 2009, Page(s):84 - 88In this paper we present an experimental study on the efficiency of the various MPEG-7 visual descriptors as far as the object classification is concerned. Seven different visual descriptors are investigated with the aid of three state of the art classifiers. Our data consist of 7686 manually annotated object instances corresponding to eight different object classes. A total of 1952 images from th... View full abstract»
