In this paper we present the results of the StatSearch case study that aimed at providing enhanced access to statistical data available on the Web. In the scope of this case study we developed a prototype of an information access tool combining uerybased s ...
Multimedia meeting collections, composed of unedited audio and video streams, handwritten notes, slides, and electronic documents that jointly constitute a raw record of complex human interaction processes in the workplace, have attracted interest due to t ...
There has been an increasing research interest in developing full-text retrieval based on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. So far, these research efforts have largely concentrated on efficiently distributing an index. However, ranking of the results retrieve ...
Assessing semantic similarity between text documents is a crucial aspect in Information Retrieval systems. In this work, we propose to use hyperlink information to derive a similarity measure that can then be applied to compare any text documents, with or ...

This paper presents experiments that evaluate the effect of different video segmentation methods on text-based video retrieval. Segmentations relying on modalities like speech, video and text or their combination are compared with a baseline sliding window ...
This paper addresses the issue of segmentation and recognition of text embedded in video sequences from their associated text image sequence extracted by a text detection module. To this end, we propose a probabilistic algorithm based on Bayesian adaptive ...
In this paper we present a method of parsing unstructured textual records briefly describing a person and their direct relatives. The string `Stephanus, brother of Johannes Magnin, from Saillon' is a typical example of a record. We wish to annotate every t ...
Presentations are becoming an increasingly more common means of communication in working environments, and slides are often the necessary supporting material on which the presentations rely. In this paper, we describe a slide indexing and retrieval system ...
Assessing semantic similarity between text documents is a crucial aspect in Information Retrieval systems. In this paper, we propose a technique to derive a similarity measure from hyper-link information. As linked documents are generally semantically clos ...
