Searching Images: Recent research at Southampton
This event took place on Wednesday 23 March 2011 at 11:30

 
Jonathon Hare University of Southampton

Southampton has a long history of research in the areas of multimedia information analysis. This talk will focus on some of the recent work we have been involved with in the area of image search. The talk will start by looking at how image content can be represented in ways analogous to textual information and how techniques developed for indexing text can be adapted to images. In particular, the talk will introduce ImageTerrier, a research platform for image retrieval that is built around the University of Glasgow's Terrier text retrieval software. The talk will also cover some of our recent work on image classification and image search result diversification.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
