Creative professional users musical relevance criteria
Although known item searching for music can be dealt with by searching metadata using existing text search techniques, human subjectivity and variability within the music itself make it very difficult to search for unknown items. This paper examines these problems within the context of text retrieval and music information retrieval. The focus is on ascertaining a relationship between music relevance criteria and those relating to relevance judgements in text retrieval. A data-rich collection of relevance judgements by creative professionals searching for unknown musical items to accompany moving images using real world queries is analysed. The participants in our observations are found to take a socio-cognitive approach and use a range of content and context based criteria. These criteria correlate strongly with those arising from previous text retrieval studies despite the many differences between music and text in their actual content

Content or context? Searching for musical meaning in task-based interactive information retrieval
Creative professionals search for digital music to accompany moving images using interactive information retrieval systems run by music publishers and record companies. This research investigates the creative professionals and the intermediaries communication processes and information seeking and use behaviour with a view to making recommendations to information retrieval systems builders as to the extent of relative importance of content and contextual factors. A communications model is used to suggest that the meaning of music is determined by its listener and use context, as well as cultural codes and competences. The research is framed by a holistic approach based on Ingwersen and Jarvelinâs Interactive Information Seeking, Retrieval and Behavioral processes model
Intrinsic Dimensionality
This entry for the SIGSPATIAL Special July 2010 issue on Similarity Searching
in Metric Spaces discusses the notion of intrinsic dimensionality of data in
the context of similarity search.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, latex; diagram (c) has been correcte
Write While You Search: Ambient Searching of a Digital Library in the Context of Writing
We consider ideas for a tighter integration of searching a digital library while writing a paper. A prototype system based on web services is described which allows us to explore the design space of ambient search tools to support and inspire the writing process.published or submitted for publicationis peer reviewe
On the sigma-model structure of type IIA supergravity action in doubled field approach
In this letter we describe how to string together the doubled field approach
by Cremmer, Julia, Lu and Pope with Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin technique to construct
the sigma-model-like action for type IIA supergravity. The relation of the
results with that of obtained in the context of searching for
Superstring/M-theory hidden symmetry group is discussed.Comment: 9 pp, LATEX; published in JETP Let
Context-aware person identification in personal photo collections
Identifying the people in photos is an important need for users of photo management systems. We present MediAssist, one such system which facilitates browsing, searching and semi-automatic annotation of personal photos, using analysis of both image content and the context in which the photo is captured. This semi-automatic annotation includes annotation of the identity of people in photos. In this paper, we focus on such person annotation, and propose person identiïŹcation techniques based on a combination of context and content. We propose language modelling and nearest neighbor approaches to context-based person identiïŹcation, in addition to novel face color and image color content-based features (used alongside face recognition and body patch features). We conduct a comprehensive empirical study of these techniques using the real private photo collections of a number of users, and show that combining context- and content-based analysis improves performance over content or context alone
Heuristic Methods for Security Protocols
Model checking is an automatic verification technique to verify hardware and
software systems. However it suffers from state-space explosion problem. In
this paper we address this problem in the context of cryptographic protocols by
proposing a security property-dependent heuristic. The heuristic weights the
state space by exploiting the security formulae; the weights may then be used
to explore the state space when searching for attacks
TIP spatial index: efficient access to digital libraries in a context-aware mobile system
We present a framework for efficient, uniform, location-based access to digital library collections that are external to a context-aware mobile information system. Using a tourist Information system, we utilize a spatial index to manage the context of location. We show how access to resources from within and outside of the tourist information system can be carried out in a seamless manner. We show how the spatial index can be navigated to continually provide information to the user. An empirical evaluation of the navigation strategy versus traditional spatial searching shows that navigation is efficient and outperforms traditional spatial search. In conclusion, our work provides a strategy for context-aware mobile systems to co-operate with digital libraries in a seamless and efficient manner
