Image retrieval by word association
This event took place on Monday 09 May 2005 at 14:00

 
Dr. Philip Edmonds Sharp Laboratories of Europe

Have you ever wanted to find an image or sound to illustrate an abstract concept? Or an image that is metaphorically associated with some text rather than described by the text? This talk will present research on how one can retrieve (text-annotated) images that are related in various ways to a text query, and organize them in a user interface. The method identifies various possible 'interpretations' of the input query using word sense disambiguation techniques (i.e., clustering), and generates an expanded query for each interpretation. The research is an application of lexical association scores (including co-occurrence and similarity scores). This kind of search could eventually have applications in better image search engines, or in the automatic illustration of news articles.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
