Socializing the Semantic Gap

Bridging the Semantic Gap

Content-based image retrieval systems were introduced as an alternative to avoid the need of manual tagging in traditional keyword-based image retrieval systems. However, the representation of image using visual features only involves a loss of information which is referred to as semantic gap. A number of techniques have been proposed to deal with ‘semantic gap’. This paper reviews existing app...

Socializing the h-index

A variety of bibliometric measures have been proposed to quantify the impact of researchers and their work. The h-index is a notable and widely-used example which aims to improve over simple metrics such as raw counts of papers or citations. However, a limitation of this measure is that it considers authors in isolation and does not account for contributions through a collaborative team. To add...

Socializing Visualization

Jeffrey Heer Berkeley Institute of Design and Computer Science Division University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 USA [email protected] The immersive and compelling nature of many social visualizations arise not only from the nature and presentation of the data under consideration, but also from the social interactions, both implicit and explicit, surrounding the use of the...

Bridging the Music Semantic Gap

In this paper we present the music information plane and the different levels of information extraction that exist in the musical domain. Based on this approach we propose a way to overcome the existing semantic gap in the music field. Our approximation is twofold: we propose a set of music descriptors that can automatically be extracted from the audio signals, and a top-down approach that adds...
