Our goal is to create an accurate and effective benchmarking system for music information retrieval (MIR) systems. This will serve the multiple purposes of inspiring the MIR community to add additional features and increased speed into existing projects, and to measure the performance of their work and incorporate the ideas of other works. To date, there has been no systematic rigorous review o...

Multi-Context Systems provide a formal basis for the integration of knowledge from different knowledge sources. Yet, it is easy to conceive of applications where not all knowledge sources may be used together all the time. We present a natural extension of Multi-Context Systems by adding the notion of activation rules that allows modeling the applicability or relevance of contexts depending on ...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive wrapper generator that can generate adaptable wrapper for adapting networked information sources (NIS) format changes. When NIS’s format changed, the adaptable wrapper can start recovery phase to discover the extraction rule of the new format of target NIS. The wrapper can automatically adapt the changes of content tag and accurately extract information. Th...
