Issues in designing novel applications for multimedia technologies

Emerging computational multimedia tools and techniques promise powerful ways to organise, search and browse our ever-increasing multimedia contents by automating annotation and indexing, augmenting meta-data, understanding media contents, linking related pieces of information amongst them, and providing intriguing visualisation and exploration front-ends. Identifying real-world scenarios and designing interactive applications that leverage these developing multimedia technology is certainly an important research topic in itself but poses a number of challenges. In this talk, I will discuss and highlight some of these challenges in designing these novel applications by reflecting on my own design practice with a number of design examples

PREMO : an emerging standard for multimedia presentation

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24 are developing a standard for the presentation of multimedia objects, called PREMO (Presentation Environments for Multimedia Objects). PREMO is aimed at application developers who want to include multimedia effects into the applications, but do not want to restrict themselves to model of multimedia documents, which is prevalent in multimedia applications today. This report gives an overview of the current status of PREMO

TensorLayer: A Versatile Library for Efficient Deep Learning Development

Deep learning has enabled major advances in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing, and multimedia among many others. Developing a deep learning system is arduous and complex, as it involves constructing neural network architectures, managing training/trained models, tuning optimization process, preprocessing and organizing data, etc. TensorLayer is a versatile Python library that aims at helping researchers and engineers efficiently develop deep learning systems. It offers rich abstractions for neural networks, model and data management, and parallel workflow mechanism. While boosting efficiency, TensorLayer maintains both performance and scalability. TensorLayer was released in September 2016 on GitHub, and has helped people from academia and industry develop real-world applications of deep learning.Comment: ACM Multimedia 201

A compiler extension for parallelizing arrays automatically on the cell heterogeneous processor

This paper describes the approaches taken to extend an array programming language compiler using a Virtual SIMD Machine (VSM) model for parallelizing array operations on Cell Broadband Engine heterogeneous machine. This development is part of ongoing work at the University of Glasgow for developing array compilers that are beneficial for applications in many areas such as graphics, multimedia, image processing and scientific computation. Our extended compiler, which is built upon the VSM interface, eases the parallelization processes by allowing automatic parallelisation without the need for any annotations or process directives. The preliminary results demonstrate significant improvement especially on data-intensive applications

Possibility of using Multimedia Application for Learning

Technology is developing quickly.Multimedia, a form of technology, is being used as ateaching tool these days. Many researchers andeducators have found suitable ways to designmultimedia applications in order to achieve fruitfuleducational outcomes. Not that all we are going todiscuss here, the definition of multimedia, and theconnection between multimedia and learning tools,concept of multimedia applications, how they areformed using a different media, the type of educationalelement that effect to learn in their naturalenvironment and the real-world issues. The definitionsand characteristics of multimedia and educationalelements are explained in this article
