Whereas much of the previous work on data mining has focused on mining data in relational databases, in this paper we discuss mining objects. Object models are very popular for representing multimedia data and, therefore, we need to mine object databases to extract useful information from the large quantities of multimedia data. We first describe the motivation for multimedia data mining with e...

Digital interactive media augments interactive computing with video, audio, computer graphics and text, allowing multimedia presentations to be individually and dynamically tailored to the user. Multimedia, and particularly continuous media pose interesting problems for system designers, including those of latency and synchronization. These problems are especially evident when multimedia data i...

Based on underlying theories of L2 reading comprehension and text comprehension with multimedia, and in light of the new tools and modes of information presentation that are now available, researchers have a variety of avenues for studying how people comprehend text in a second language with the help of multimodal instructional materials. In this paper we discuss how L2 reading research is focu...

This research focused on the prediction that children in their school setting would learn more from educational multimedia when critical information was presented as spoken instead of textual cues. Analyses of a study (n = 42) showed that 12-year-olds did not learn any more from temporal speech cueing than from temporal text cueing. The findings suggest that multimedia learning for children is ...

Multimedia processing is becoming increasingly important with a wide variety of applications ranging from multimedia cell phones to high-definition interactive television. Media processing involves the capture, storage, manipulation and transmission of multimedia objects such as text, handwritten data, audio objects, still images, 2-D/3-D graphics, animation, and full-motion video. A number of ...

We describe a multimedia, multilingual and multimodal research system (CIMWOS) supporting content-based indexing, archiving, retrieval and on-demand delivery of audiovisual content. CIMWOS (Combined IMage and WOrd Spotting) incorporates an extensive set of multimedia technologies by seamless integration of three major components – speech, text and image processing – producing a rich collection ...

Today’s learners are using multimedia on a daily basis. From computers to cell phones, it’s very difficult to get through a day without being exposed to multimedia. Prior research from Mayer and colleagues has revealed the multimedia principle, which communicates that two representations that explain for one another are better for learning than just one. While much of this research focused on c...

convictions are strong that multimedia courseware holds great promise for enhancing learning efficiency among learners. this study thus aimed at comparing the effects of the multimedia programs introducing 100 vocabulary items through pictures and streaming video with those of teacher instruction on increasing efl learners’ vocabulary repertoire. a total of 120 subjects were identified as inter...

Social networks enable multimedia sharing between worldwide users, however, there is no automatic mechanism implemented aiming to verifying multimedia use. This has been known as a highly challenging problem due to the variety of media types and huge amount of information they convey. As a participating team of MediaEval 2016, we propose a hybrid approach for detecting misused multimedia on Twi...
