Context-Aware Querying for Multimodal Search Engines

Multimodal interaction provides the user with multiple modes of interacting with a system, such as gestures, speech, text, video, audio, etc. A multimodal system allows for several distinct means for input and output of data. In this paper, we present our work in the context of the I-SEARCH project, which aims at enabling context-aware querying of a multimodal search framework including real-wo...

Context-Aware Knowledge Querying in a Networked Enterprise

In today’s knowledge-driven society, the increasing amount of heterogeneous information, available through a variety of information channels, has made it difficult for users to find the right information at the right time and at the right level of detail. This chapter presents the exploitation of context-awareness in order to reduce the plethora of information that,within the networked enterpri...

Context-Aware Querying in Multimedia Databases – A Futuristic Approach

Efficient retrieval of multimedia objects has gained enormous focus in recent years. A number of techniques have been suggested for retrieval of textual information; however, relatively little has been suggested for efficient retrieval of multimedia objects. In this paper we have proposed a generic architecture for contextaware retrieval of multimedia objects. The proposed framework combines th...

Understanding Ambiguous Language in Context-Aware Mobile Querying

In this paper we discuss a method for understanding ambiguous language in natural language interfaces for mobile devices. We approach the problem by modeling the user and system with semantic web ontologies that are informed by a context-aware computing platform. The semantic model is then used to interpret ambiguous language based on the user’s real-world context.
