Semantic document annotation may be useful for many tasks. In particular, in the framework of the MDM project(http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/im2/mdm/), topical annotation -- i.e. the annotation of document segments with tags identifying the topics disc ...
Email plays an important role as a medium for the spread of information, ideas, and influence among its users. We present a framework to learn topic-based interactions between pairs of email users, i.e., the extent to which the email topic dynamics of one ...
In this thesis, we investigate the effectiveness of semantic fisheye views for opportunistic search and sensemaking tasks over large collections of annotated images. Semantic fisheye views are interactive visualization techniques that reveal semantic detai ...
Exploratory search over a collection often requires users to iteratively apply a variety of strategies, such as searching for more general or more specific concepts in reaction to the information they encounter. Rich semantic models, such as WordNet, are p ...
We delegate increasingly sophisticated and complex tasks to computer programs, and we require them to act autonomously on our behalf in distributed environments (eg the web, the grid). Personal Assistants (PA) are computer programs that can be thought as a ...
This diploma thesis describes the development of an interactive spatial service for the winegrowers in the Swiss canton de Vaud. The users can consult an interactive map containing different themes important for the wine-cultivation. Further the winegrower ...
The aim of the work described in this paper is to extend the EPFL dialogue platform with multimodal capabilities. Based on our experience with the EPFL Rapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology (RDPM), we formulate precise design principles that provide the n ...
Information Retrieval (IR) aims at solving a ranking problem: given a query q and a corpus C, the documents of C should be ranked such that the documents relevant to q appear above the others. This task is generally performed by ranking the documen ...
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 ...
Users often have to search for a most preferred item but do not know how to state their preferences in the language allowed by the system. Example-Critiquing has been proposed as a mixed-initiative technique for allowing them to construct their preference ...
