MUP/PLE Lecture Series
This event took place on Tuesday 12 April 2011 at 14:00

 
Denis Gillet Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL)

In this talk, underlying social media models will be discussed. Their potential to understand the interaction processes, to implement recommendation and to enforce trust will be illustrated. A special focus will be placed on capturing context in personal learning and knowledge management. An example showing how the 4A model proposed by EPFL supports the design and the implementation of PLE in Graaasp (http://graaasp.epfl.ch) will be presented.

The next talk of this lecture series will be held by Matthias Palmer on
the 26/04/2011. For further information about the upcoming events, find

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.
