CHORUS Deliverable 2.2: Second report - identification of multi-disciplinary key issues for gap analysis toward EU multimedia search engines roadmap
After addressing the state-of-the-art during the first year of Chorus and establishing the existing landscape in
multimedia search engines, we have identified and analyzed gaps within European research effort during our second year.
In this period we focused on three directions, notably technological issues, user-centred issues and use-cases and socio-
economic and legal aspects. These were assessed by two central studies: firstly, a concerted vision of functional breakdown
of generic multimedia search engine, and secondly, a representative use-cases descriptions with the related discussion on
requirement for technological challenges. Both studies have been carried out in cooperation and consultation with the
community at large through EC concertation meetings (multimedia search engines cluster), several meetings with our
Think-Tank, presentations in international conferences, and surveys addressed to EU projects coordinators as well as
National initiatives coordinators. Based on the obtained feedback we identified two types of gaps, namely core
technological gaps that involve research challenges, and “enablers”, which are not necessarily technical research
challenges, but have impact on innovation progress. New socio-economic trends are presented as well as emerging legal
challenges

Job Recommendation System Using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)
The rapid growth of online job portals and the increasing volume of job listings have made it challenging for job seekers to efficiently navigate through the vast number of available opportunities. Job recommendation systems play a crucial role in assisting users in finding relevant job opportunities based on their skills, preferences, and past experiences. This research paper proposes a job recommendation system that leverages deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of job recommendations. The system utilizes advanced algorithms to analyses user profiles, job descriptions, and historical data to generate personalized job recommendations. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system compared to traditional recommendation methods, thereby improving the job search process for both job seekers and employers. This paper provides Job recommendation system using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)
Social semantic search : a case study on web 2.0 for science
When researchers formulate search queries to find relevant content on the Web, those queries typically consist of keywords that can only be matched in the content or its metadata. The Web of Data extends this functionality by bringing structure and giving well-defined meaning to the content and it enables humans and machines to work together using controlled vocabularies. Due the high degree of mismatches between the structure of the content and the vocabularies in different sources, searching over multiple heterogeneous repositories of structured data is considered challenging. Therefore, the authors present a semantic search engine for researchers facilitating search in research related Linked Data. To facilitate high-precision interactive search, they annotated and interlinked structured research data with ontologies from various repositories in an effective semantic model. Furthermore, the authors' system is adaptive as researchers can synchronize using new social media accounts and efficiently explore new datasets
CHORUS Deliverable 2.1: State of the Art on Multimedia Search Engines
Based on the information provided by European projects and national initiatives related to multimedia search as well as domains experts that participated in the CHORUS Think-thanks and workshops, this document reports on the state of the art related to multimedia content search from, a technical, and socio-economic perspective.
The technical perspective includes an up to date view on content based indexing and retrieval technologies, multimedia search in the context of mobile devices and peer-to-peer networks, and an overview of current evaluation and benchmark inititiatives to measure the performance of multimedia search engines.
From a socio-economic perspective we inventorize the impact and legal consequences of these technical advances and point out future directions of research
Recommender systems in industrial contexts
This thesis consists of four parts: - An analysis of the core functions and
the prerequisites for recommender systems in an industrial context: we identify
four core functions for recommendation systems: Help do Decide, Help to
Compare, Help to Explore, Help to Discover. The implementation of these
functions has implications for the choices at the heart of algorithmic
recommender systems. - A state of the art, which deals with the main techniques
used in automated recommendation system: the two most commonly used algorithmic
methods, the K-Nearest-Neighbor methods (KNN) and the fast factorization
methods are detailed. The state of the art presents also purely content-based
methods, hybridization techniques, and the classical performance metrics used
to evaluate the recommender systems. This state of the art then gives an
overview of several systems, both from academia and industry (Amazon, Google
...). - An analysis of the performances and implications of a recommendation
system developed during this thesis: this system, Reperio, is a hybrid
recommender engine using KNN methods. We study the performance of the KNN
methods, including the impact of similarity functions used. Then we study the
performance of the KNN method in critical uses cases in cold start situation. -
A methodology for analyzing the performance of recommender systems in
industrial context: this methodology assesses the added value of algorithmic
strategies and recommendation systems according to its core functions.Comment: version 3.30, May 201
Socializing the Semantic Gap: A Comparative Survey on Image Tag Assignment, Refinement and Retrieval
Where previous reviews on content-based image retrieval emphasize on what can
be seen in an image to bridge the semantic gap, this survey considers what
people tag about an image. A comprehensive treatise of three closely linked
problems, i.e., image tag assignment, refinement, and tag-based image retrieval
is presented. While existing works vary in terms of their targeted tasks and
methodology, they rely on the key functionality of tag relevance, i.e.
estimating the relevance of a specific tag with respect to the visual content
of a given image and its social context. By analyzing what information a
specific method exploits to construct its tag relevance function and how such
information is exploited, this paper introduces a taxonomy to structure the
growing literature, understand the ingredients of the main works, clarify their
connections and difference, and recognize their merits and limitations. For a
head-to-head comparison between the state-of-the-art, a new experimental
protocol is presented, with training sets containing 10k, 100k and 1m images
and an evaluation on three test sets, contributed by various research groups.
Eleven representative works are implemented and evaluated. Putting all this
together, the survey aims to provide an overview of the past and foster
progress for the near future.Comment: to appear in ACM Computing Survey
Autoencoder-based Image Recommendation for Lung Cancer Characterization
Neste projeto, temos como objetivo desenvolver um sistema de IA que recomende um conjunto de casos relativos (passados) para orientar a tomada de decisão do médico.
Objetivo: A ambição Ă© desenvolver um modelo de aprendizado baseado em IA para caracterização de câncer de pulmĂŁo, a fim de auxiliar na rotina clĂnica. Considerando a complexidade dos fenĂ´menos biolĂłgicos que ocorrem durante o desenvolvimento do câncer, as relações entre eles e as manifestações visuais capturadas pela tomografia computadorizada (CT) tĂŞm sido exploradas nos Ăşltimos anos. No entanto, devido Ă falta de robustez dos mĂ©todos atuais de aprendizado profundo, essas correlações sĂŁo frequentemente consideradas espĂşrias e se perdem quando confrontadas com dados coletados a partir de distribuições alteradas: diferentes instituições, caracterĂsticas demográficas ou atĂ© mesmo estágios de desenvolvimento do câncer.In this project, we aim to develop an AI system that recommends a set of relative (past) cases to guide the decision-making of the clinician.
