Computer input and output has evolved from teletypewriters to text oriented CRTs to today's window oriented bit mapped displays. Beyond text and images, multimedia input and output must be concerned with constant rate continuous media such as digital video and audio. Today's multimedia applications are just beginning to explore the capabilities of multimedia computing. There is a growing unders...

We present a novel, flexible, statistical approach to modeling music, images and text jointly. The technique is based on multi-modal mixture models and efficient computation using online EM. The learned models can be used to browse multimedia databases, to query on a multimedia database using any combination of music, images and text (lyrics and other contextual information), to annotate docume...

The influence of presentation format on the effectiveness of multimedia instructions was investigated. According to Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, Van Merriënboer & Paas, 1998) and Mayer's theory of multimedia learning (Moreno & Mayer, 1999), replacing visual text with audio will decrease working memory load and improve learning (modality effect). This hypothesis was tested in two experiments ...

in the last two decades, the trend in healthcare information technology has been towards digital and multimedia concepts. the next generation of healthcare information systems will consist of a vast network of heterogeneous, autonomous and distributed imaging scanners, hospital information systems (his), medical information from clinical departments such as radiology information systems (ris), ...

PURPOSE Ubiquitous testing has the potential to affect medical education by enhancing the authenticity of the assessment using multimedia items. This study explored medical students' experience with ubiquitous testing and its impact on student learning. METHODS A cohort (n=48) of third-year students at a medical school in South Korea participated in this study. The students were divided into ...

Introduction COMET (COordinated Multimedia Explanation Testbed) is an experimental system that generates interactive multimedia explanations of how to operate, maintain. and repair equipment. Our research stresses the dynamic generation of the content and form of all material presented, addressing issues in the generation of text and graphics, and in coordinating text and graphics in an integra...
