We consider an image decomposition model involving a variational (minimization) problem and an evolutionary partial differential equation (PDE). We utilize a linear inhomogenuous diffusion constrained and weighted total variation (TV) scheme for image adaptive decomposition. An adaptive weight along with TV regularization splits a given image into three components representing the geometrical (...

We previously proposed a summarization system, GREEN, for Japanese newspaper editorials. However, GREEN is not suitable for summarizing ordinal newspaper articles which are different from newspaper editorials. To participate in subtasks A-1 and A-2 of TSC (text Summarization Challenge) in NTCIR-2, we developed a new summarization system from scratch which copes with both ordinal articles and ed...

A newspaper content management system has to deal with a very heterogeneous information space as the experience in the Diari Segre newspaper has shown us. The greatest problem is to harmonise the different ways the involved users (journalist, archivists...) structure the newspaper information space, i.e. news, topics, headlines, etc. Our approach is based on ontology and differentiated universe...

In this paper we describe a PD approach applied in a context of designing a future everyday IT artifact with limited resources. In the DigiNews project we aim at proposing design suggestions for the future e-newspaper, i.e. a newspaper based on epaper technology. The PD approach includes future workshop, scenario and mock-up techniques and focus groups. Based on eleven workshops with readers, n...

©AsiaPacific MediaEducator Issue No.11 July Dec. 2001 T paper discusses some fundamental assumptions about pluralism in the Australian print media. Pluralism, the number of print media outlets available to the public, and known as structural diversity, can be considered as one of two elements of media diversity. The other is the variety of views presented by those outlets, known as content dive...
