KMi Seminars
Exploiting Repeated Mobility Patterns in Future Wireless Networks
This event took place on Wednesday 12 November 2008 at 11:00

 
Fawad Nazir

The work is funded by Ericsson Sweden under the project : CAMP (Context Aware Mobility Project) This talk will discuss two research questions:

1. How to exploit people’s social encounters to improve the content delivery performance and lower end-to-end delay in delay tolerant networks?

2. How can predicting mobility patterns help lower service costs? and

Ask: 1. How can we KMI researchers help in doing such a research?

Multimedia and Information Systems
Our research is centred around the theme of Multimedia Information Retrieval, ie, Video Search Engines, Image Databases, Spoken Document Retrieval, Music Retrieval, Query Languages and Query Mediation.

We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
