video retrieval?

an incremental approach, which assists users to achieve a complex query goal by formulating a series of simple queries. A prototype system with a multimodal interface using the high-level query formulation techniques has been implemented on top of a cooperative database system (CoBase) at UCLA. 1 Introduction

Robots should be able to learn skills from humans not only through kinesthetic teaching, but also by recognizing intentions and abstract concepts in human behavior. This work presents a method that enables robots to learn humandemonstrated concepts on an abstract, first-order logic based

This paper describes a sample modelling and veri cation session using SDL and SPIN modelchecker via the PEP tool . We will focus on the tight integration of all involved tools allowing the user to stay within his known environment of SDL speci cations. Thus the user need not know about the underlying Petri net or the Promela language even while formulating the properties to be checked.

Abstract. The notion of context plays a significant role in multimedia content search and retrieval systems. In this paper we focus our research efforts on a visual context knowledge representation, to be utilized for multimedia high-level concept detection. We propose and describe in detail types

particular datatype or a domain of interest. In this context, we have developed the Structural Bioinformatics Semantic Map (SBMap), a dual level ontology that allows users to discover structural bioinformatics resources through the exploration of a graph of high level concepts. In this paper, we present how

In this paper we propose the use of enhanced mid-level information, such as information obtained from the application of supervised or unsupervised learning methodologies on low-level characteristics, in order to improve semantic multimedia analysis. High-level, a priori contextual knowledge about

To improve the retrieval accuracy of content-based image retrieval, an important task is to reduce the ‘semantic gap’ between low-level image features and the richness of human semantics. In this paper, we present a region-based image retrieval system with high-level semantic concepts used

How many high-level concepts will fill the semantic gap in

software we will gain access to more data, but not improve access to the type and quality of information needed for decision making. To develop the concepts needed for future information systems we model information processing as an interaction of data and knowledge. This model provides criteria for a high-level
