Rewiring the web with Mozilla Add-ons SDK
This event took place on Wednesday 17 November 2010 at 11:30

 
Laurian Gridinoc Talis

In the first part I will present the motivation behind the Jetpack Prototype, highlight the achievements of the Jetpack for Learning Design Challenge, the reasons behind the Jetpack “Reboot” into Jetpack SDK (Mozilla Add-ons SDK). Then I will demonstrate how to build extensions with the SDK and with the Add-ons Builder; the demo will consist in two applications: a simple interaction with a remote service to illustrate how to create one, and a more complex one that will illustrate what is doable with the SDK. In the end I will discuss MUPPLE and its migration to the new SDK.

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.
