Using association rule mining to enrich semantic concepts for video retrieval
In order to achieve true content-based information retrieval on video we should analyse and index video with
high-level semantic concepts in addition to using user-generated tags and structured metadata like title, date,
etc. However the range of such high-level semantic concepts, detected either manually or automatically,
usually limited compared to the richness of information content in video and the potential vocabulary of
available concepts for indexing. Even though there is work to improve the performance of individual concept
classiïŹers, we should strive to make the best use of whatever partial sets of semantic concept occurrences
are available to us. We describe in this paper our method for using association rule mining to automatically
enrich the representation of video content through a set of semantic concepts based on concept co-occurrence
patterns. We describe our experiments on the TRECVid 2005 video corpus annotated with the 449 concepts
of the LSCOM ontology. The evaluation of our results shows the usefulness of our approach
Multimedia search without visual analysis: the value of linguistic and contextual information
This paper addresses the focus of this special issue by analyzing the potential contribution of linguistic content and other non-image aspects to the processing of audiovisual data. It summarizes the various ways in which linguistic content analysis contributes to enhancing the semantic annotation of multimedia content, and, as a consequence, to improving the effectiveness of conceptual media access tools. A number of techniques are presented, including the time-alignment of textual resources, audio and speech processing, content reduction and reasoning tools, and the exploitation of surface features
Towards improving web service repositories through semantic web techniques
The success of the Web services technology has brought topicsas software reuse and discovery once again on the agenda of software engineers. While there are several efforts towards automating Web service discovery and composition, many developers still search for services
via online Web service repositories and then combine them manually. However, from our analysis of these repositories, it yields that, unlike traditional software libraries, they rely on little metadata to support
service discovery. We believe that the major cause is the difficulty of automatically deriving metadata that would describe rapidly changing Web service collections. In this paper, we discuss the major shortcomings of state of the art Web service repositories and, as a solution, we
report on ongoing work and ideas on how to use techniques developed in the context of the Semantic Web (ontology learning, mapping, metadata based presentation) to improve the current situation
The use of data-mining for the automatic formation of tactics
This paper discusses the usse of data-mining for the automatic formation of tactics. It was presented at the Workshop on Computer-Supported Mathematical Theory Development held at IJCAR in 2004. The aim of this project is to evaluate the applicability of data-mining techniques to the automatic formation of tactics from large corpuses of proofs. We data-mine information from large proof corpuses to find commonly occurring patterns. These patterns are then evolved into tactics using genetic programming techniques
