Dan Philips The SEA

Myartspace is a service on mobile phones and the web for enquiry-led museum learning. It enables students to create their own interpretations of museum objects through descriptions, images and sounds. These are automatically transmitted to a personal online gallery that they can use to reflect upon and share their experience. Dan will talk about how the service helps to put the visitor at the centre of the experience whether they are in school, visiting your venue or at home.

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.
