Ainhoa Llorente (Alumni)

Research Student

I started my research studentship with KMi in October 2006 and obtained my PhD in 2010. My PhD topic was about identifying innovative ways to enhance a standard automated image annotation system. In order to reach this goal I applied technologies belonging to disciplines as diverse as Multimedia Information Retrieval, Semantic Web and Natural Language Processing. The final goal of this multidisciplinary research was to develop a set of techniques that can increase the effectiveness of any existing image search engine. My supervisors were Prof. Stefan Rüger and Prof. Enrico Motta.

Keys: Information Retrieval, Automated Image Annotation, Image Analysis, Natural Language Processing, Ontologies
