This paper summarizes the preliminary results of an ongoing survey on multiword resources carried out within the IC1207 Cost Action PARSEME (PARSing and Multi-word Expressions). Despite the availability of language resource catalogs and the inventory of multiword datasets on the SIGLEX-MWE website, multiword resources are scattered and difficult to find. In many cases, language resources such a...

This paper introduces ImageSleuth, a tool for browsing and searching annotated collections of images. It combines the methods of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for information retrieval with the graphical information conveyed in thumbnails. In order to use thumbnails of images to represent concept extents, line diagrams can not be efficiently utilised and thus other navigation methods are necess...

This paper describes an experiment in example-based machine translation (EBMT) on full text. The unit of translation is a text chunk of arbitrary length, in contrast to sentence-level EBMT experiments. Intra-and inter-language matching techniques and metrics used in the experiment are described.

The paper presents definition extensions to MPEG-7 metadata ones, mainly related to audio descriptors, introduced to efficiently describe traditional Greek music data features in order to further enable efficient music retrieval. A number of advanced content-based retrieval scenarios have been defined such as query by music rhythm, query by example and humming based on newly introduced music fe...

Search in audio archives is a challenging problem. Using prosodic information to help find relevant content has been proposed as a complement to word-based retrieval, but its utility has been an open question. We propose a new way to use prosodic information in search, based on a vector-space model, where each point in time maps to a point in a vector space whose dimensions are derived from num...

This paper introduces the IMOTION system, a contentbased video retrieval engine, which is our proposed contribution for the 2015 Video Search Showcase. IMOTION is based on the Cineast system and was originally designed as a sketch-based video retrieval engine supporting multiple query paradigms. For the Video Search Showcase, it has been extended by dedicated motion features to allow for the sp...

We deal with syntactic identification of occurrences of multiword expression (MWE) from an existing dictionary in a text corpus. The MWEs we identify can be of arbitrary length and can be interrupted in the surface sentence. We analyse and compare three approaches based on linguistic analysis at a varying level, ranging from surface word order to deep syntax. The evaluation is conducted using t...

In (Bonanno, 2013), a solution concept for extensive-form games, called perfect Bayesian equilibrium (PBE), was introduced and shown to be a strict refinement of subgame-perfect equilibrium; it was also shown that, in turn, sequential equilibrium (SE) is a strict refinement of PBE. In (Bonanno, 2016), the notion of PBE was used to provide a characterization of SE in terms of a strengthening of ...

This work describes and investigates a practical use-case for searching in an exploratory fashion for fragments of audio within a small collection, in the manner of Query-by-Example. Our motivation for this is to help performers, especially of improvised music, to critically assess their own improvisation style and how it relates to others’; we aim to support investigation of questions such as ...

This manuscript provides a brief overview of trends and developments in the area of Content-Based Audio Indexing and Retrieval (CBAIR), during the past few years. Here we explored some limitations and constrains of existing Query By Example (QBE) and Query By Humming (QBH) CBAIR systems. We talked about different methods to represent musical objects, like feature-based representation, musical p...
