Research Summaryby Jun YangMy areas of interest include multimedia information retrieval, Web searching, digital library, computer vision, and multimedia database, which share a common theme – the management of multimedia data. This interest is originated from the insight that, without effective access and management tools, the pervasive and expanding multimedia information will become more frustrating and less valuable to end users. Starting from the 3rd year of my undergraduate study, I have worked in the broad area of multimedia for 4 years in 4 different research institutions, including Microsoft Visual Perception Lab of Zhejiang University, Siemens in Vienna, Austria, Microsoft Research Asia, and Dept of Computer Engineering and Information Technology at City University of Hong Kong. I have published over 15 refereed papers in international conferences and journals or as book chapters, and built several prototype systems. In this document, I summarize my research achievements by domains with reference to my representative publications.1. Multi-modal Information RetrievalThis work is motivated by the conservative “one system, one media” framework observed among existing multimedia information retrieval systems, i.e., each system can deal with only a single type of media based on a single type of knowledge (e.g., content-based image retrieval). To remedy this limitation, we advocate “one system for all” framework by proposing multi-modal information retrieval, where the keyword “multi-modal” is defined at three levels: (1) multiple types of media data (text, images, videos, etc) are retrieved in an integrated manner; (2) multiple sources of knowledge are explored; and (3) multiple retrieval approaches/techniques are employed. Two research projects along this direction are described below: • Octopus – an aggressive search mechanism for multi-modal information [1]: Octopus is a mechanism for aggressive retrieval of multi-modal data (i.e., a mixture of text, images, videos, etc) in an integrated manner. It is based on a multifaceted knowledge base constructed on a layered graph model (LGM), which describes the relevance relationships among media objects deduced from low-level features, contextual knowledge (e.g., hyperlinks), and user-system interactions. Link analysis technique, an extensively used technique in Web searching, is applied to explore the LGM to search for relevant media objects for user queries. Furthermore, an incremental relevance feedback technique is proposed to update the knowledge base by learning from user-system interactions, therefore enhancing the retrieval performance in a “hill-climbing” manner. Octopus advocates a highly flexible retrieval scenario, where users are free to submit any media (objects) as query example and receive any media (objects) as results.Our recent work has addressed the interface design [15] of Octopus.• CoSEEM – a cooperative search engine for multimedia in digital libraries[2,3]: As the predecessor of Octopus, CoSEEM is a retrieval framework for multimedia information in digital libraries.It focuses on the use of uniform semantic descriptions (keywords) to retrieve various types of media objects in an integrated manner. A learning-from-elements strategy is proposed to propagate and update descriptive keywords associated with media objects, and a cross-media search mechanism is devised to search for media objects by combining their low-level features and semantic descriptions.2. Semantics and Content based Image RetrievalDue to the “semantic gulf” between low-level features and high-level user queries, Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is still of limited practicability in general settings, while its killer applications in specificdomains are yet to be found. In view of this, my research on CBIR emphasizes exploring the role of human-computer interaction to achieve semantics-based and personalized image retrieval. The specific techniques/devices that I have investigated for this general goal include lexical thesaurus [4,5], user profiling [6], graphic-theoretic model [7], and “peer indexing” [8, 9], as summarized below:• Thesaurus-aided image retrieval and browsing [4,5]: This approach explores the power of lexical thesaurus (specifically, WordNet) to support fuzzy match in keyword-based image retrieval. By examining the similarity between different keywords, our approach is able to match a keyword query with images annotated by different but relevant keywords (e.g., matching a query of “animal” with images annotated with “tiger”), which is not supported by simple keyword matching. Although WordNet has been extensively used in IR, our approach is unique in terms of a combination of semantic keywords and low-level image features for image retrieval. Moreover, we propose a dynamic semantic hierarchy, which can be automatically constructed from WordNet to support image navigation by semantic subjects.• Personalized image retrieval based on user profiling [6]: The objective of this work is towards personalized image retrieval based on a synergy of relevance feedback techniques and information filtering/recommendation techniques. Specifically, a “common profile” and a set of “user profiles” are constructed from user feedbacks to model the common knowledge and the personal views of individual users respectively. Our profile-based image retrieval approach enables “learning from others” by exploring the common profile, as well as “learning from history” by exploring user profiles. Therefore, the retrieval results generated by our approach strike the balance between matching the commonsense of the entire user community and catering for the personal interests of each individual user.• A graphic-theoretic model for image retrieval [7]: In attempt to remedy the limitation of traditional “non-memory” relevance feedback techniques, we have proposed a graphic-theoretic model for incremental relevance feedback in image retrieval. A two-layered graph model is introduced to memorize the semantic correlations (among images) progressively derived from user feedbacks, and link analysis technique is adopted to explore the graph model for image retrieval. This approach outperforms traditional approaches in both short-term (intra-session) and long-term (inter-session) performance.• Data and user-adaptive image retrieval based on “peer indexing” [8]: Peer indexing is based on an intuitive idea – indexing an image by its semantically related peer images. The peer index of an image, as a list of weighted peer images, can be acquired from user feedbacks by a suggested learning strategy.Due to the analogy between a keyword and a peer image as a “visual keyword”, mature techniques in the IR area (e.g., TF/IDF weighting scheme, cosine similarity metric) are applied to image retrieval based on peer indexing in cooperation with low-level image features. Our recent work along this direction has focused on data and user-adaptive image retrieval [9] by applying two-level peer indexing.3. Vector-based Media (Flash™) ManagementRecent years witness the phenomenal growth of Flash, a new format of vector-based animation set forth by Macromedia Inc., which has over 440 million of viewers worldwide. This remarkable popularity justifies the need of investigating the management issues of Flash, which are critical to the better utilization of the enormous Flash resource but unfortunately overlooked by the research community. We therefore propose FLAME [10,11], namely FL ash A ccess and M anagement E nvironment, which covers a variety of management issues of Flash animations.Currently, FLAME consists of three functional components, including (1) content-based retrieval component, which addresses the indexing, retrieval, and query specification of Flash animations by exploringtheir content characteristics on their embedded media ingredients, spatio-temporal features, and user interactions; (2) classification component, which automatically classifies Flash animations into pre-defined categories, such as MTV, commercial advertisement, cartoon, e-postcard, based on their content characteristics; and (3) segmentation component, which partitions long Flash animations into shot/scene structures defined similarly to their counterparts in video segmentation. Further issues to be explored under FLAME include Flash search engine, copyright protection, and sample-based Flash authoring.4. Multimedia DatabaseMy primary goal in this area is to apply database technology to address the efficiency and scalability problem that plagues data-intensive multimedia information systems. One specific problem is the “semantic gap” between semantics-intensive multimedia applications and conventional databases, which are inadequate to model the context-dependent semantics of multimedia data. We have managed to propose MediaView [12,13] as an extended object-oriented view mechanism to bridge this semantic gap. Specifically, this mechanism captures the dynamic semantics of multimedia using a modeling construct named media view, which formulates a customized context where heterogeneous media objects with related semantics are characterized by semantic properties and relationships.Another proposal is a self-adaptive semantic schema mechanism (SSM) for multimedia databases [14]. The SSM is implemented based on an object-oriented data model, in which classes are organized into a semantic hierarchy. As its unique feature, SSM supports adaptive evolution of a schema in the form of expansion with new classes and/or compaction by removing inefficient classes, when the conditions of predefined ECA-rules are satisfied. This self-adaptive evolution strategy allows a data schema to be automatically optimized for each particular multimedia application, (esp. multimedia retrieval systems), thereby achieving a dynamic, application-specific balance between modeling capability and efficiency.5. Video-based Human AnimationTo overcome the shortcomings of conventional human animation techniques, we have proposed a video-based human animation approach [16]. Given a video clip containing human motion, we first recognize and track the human joints with the aid of Kalman filter and morph-block matching in a sequence of video frames. From the recognized human joints, we construct the corresponding 3-D human motion skeleton sequence under the perspective projection, using camera calibration techniques and human anatomy knowledge. Finally, a motion library is established by annotating multiform motion attributes, which can be browsed and queried by animators. This approach has the advantages of rich source materials, low computational cost, efficient production, and realistic animation result.6. Video SegmentationSegmentation of video clips serves as the basis of video indexing and retrieval. We have developed a prototype system for parsing video clips, especially news videos, into a sequence of shots and scenes. The shot boundaries are detected by examining the difference between the color histograms of consecutive frames using “twin-comparison” algorithm, which is robust in detecting gradual transitions (zoom, fade in/out, dissolve, etc). Particularly, for news videos with a prior model of the temporal video structure, we group the segmented shots into higher-level units such as news stories, weather forecast, and commercials.

一种基于多媒体融合的图像检索系统的设计方案摘要:在现有研究基于多媒体融合的图像检索系统中,在图像标注的过程中采用手动的方式进行标注,工作繁琐,检索的速度低,难以运用到实际检索当中。
本文将结合图像语义标注运用于多媒体融合的图像检索系统中,这样既可以降低工作量也能提高检索的速度。

perspective that contends that there exists a physical world that is subject to physical laws that we all know in pretty much the same way because those physical laws are perceivable by humans in

What’s different is the scale of technology being applied by leaders who mix high-minded goals with sharp-elbowed, low-priced Internet business models. In the stories that will follow in this month’s business report, MIT Technology Review will chart the impact of free online education, particularly the “massive open online courses,” or MOOCs, offered by new education ventures like edX, Coursera, and Udacity, to name the most prominent.These ideas affect markets so large that their value is difficult to quantify. Just consider that a quarter of the American population, 80 million people, is enrolled in K–12 education, college, or graduate school. Direct expenditures by government exceed $800 billion. Add to that figure private education and corporate training.So where are we on the online education curve? According to a study from Babson College, the number of U.S. college students who took at least one online course increased from 1.6 million in 2002 to 6.1 million, or about a third of all college students, in 2010. The researchers, I. Elaine Allen and Jeff Seaman, found signs that the growth rate of online classes might be starting to slow. But their study didn’t anticipate the sudden entry of premier universities into online education this year. Coursera, an alliance between Stanford and two dozen other schools, claims that it had 1.5 million students sign up.Technology will define where online education goes next. All those millions of students clicking online can have their progress tracked, logged, studied, and probably influenced, too. Talk to Khan or anyone behind the MOOCs and they’ll all say their eventual goal isn’t to stream videos but to perfect education through the scientific use of data. Just imagine, they say, software that maps an individual’s knowledge and offers a lesson plan unique to him or her.At present, China has launched a project to train Teachers' Skill of Applied Educational Technology in Secondary and Elementary School. This paper focused on the Design of Educational Technology Training Project for teachers. By the analyzing the actual needs of teachers in K12, we would explore how to protect the effective implementation of the training project.目前,我国已经全面启动了全国中小学教师教育技术能力建设项目,本文选择教师教育技术能力培训项目的设计作为研究内容,旨在通过对一线教师的实际需求的分析,探索在培训实践过程中,如何保障培训项目的有效实施。

XML Multimedia Retrieval Zhigang Kong and Mounia Lalmas Department of Computer Science, Queen Mary, University of London {cskzg, mounia}@dcs.qmul.ac.uk
Abstract. Multimedia XML documents can be viewed as a tree, whose nodes correspond to XML elements, and where multimedia objects are referenced in attributes as external entities. This paper investigates the use of textual XML elements for retrieving multimedia objects.
1 Introduction The increasing use of eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML) [6] in document reposi-tories has brought about an explosion in the development of XML retrieval systems. Whereas many of today's retrieval systems still treat documents as single large blocks, XML offers the opportunity to exploit the logical structure of documents in order to allow for more precise retrieval. In this work, we are concerned with XML multimedia retrieval, where multimedia objects are referenced in XML documents. As a kind of hypermedia with controlled structure, XML multimedia documents are usually organized according to a hierarchi-cal (tree) structure. We believe that exploiting this hierarchical structure can play an essential role in providing effective retrieval of XML multimedia documents, where indexing and retrieval is based on any textual content extracted from the XML docu-ments. An XML document can be viewed as a tree composed of nodes, i.e. XML ele-ments. The root element corresponds to the document, and is composed of elements (i.e. its children elements), themselves composed of elements, etc., until we reach leaf elements (i.e. elements with no children elements). An XML multimedia element, which is an element that references in an attribute a multimedia object as an external entity, has a parent element, itself having a parent element, all of them constituting the ancestor elements of that multimedia element. It can also have its own (i.e. self) tex-tual content, which is used to describe the referenced multimedia entity. Our aim is to investigate whether “hierarchically surrounding” textual XML elements of various sizes and granularities (e.g., self, parent, ancestor, etc.) in a document or any combi-nation of them can be used for the effective retrieval of the multimedia objects of that document. The exploitation of textual content to perform multimedia retrieval is not new. It has, for example, been used in multimedia web retrieval [1,4]. Our work follows the same principle, which is to use any available textual content to index and retrieve non-textual content; the difference here is that we are making use of the hierarchical tree structure of XML documents to delineate the textual content to consider. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we describe our XML multimedia retrieval approach. In Section 3, we describe the test collection built to evaluate our approach. In Section 4, we present our experiments and results. Finally we conclude in Section 5.
2 Our Approach A multimedia object is referenced as an external entity in the attribute of an XML element that is specifically designed for multimedia content. We call this element a multimedia element. Some textual content can appear within the element, describing (annotating) the multimedia object itself. The elements hierarchically surrounding the multimedia element can have textual content that provides additional description of the object. Therefore, the textual content within a multimedia element and the text of elements hierarchically surrounding it can be used to calculate a representation of the multimedia object that is capable of supplying direct retrieval of this multimedia data by textual (natural language) query. We say that these hierarchically surrounding elements and the multimedia element itself form regions. The regions of a given multimedia object are formed upward fol-lowing the hierarchical structure of the document containing that multimedia object: the self region, its sibling elements, its parent element, and so on; the largest region being the document element itself. We define the text content of the region used to represent the multimedia object as its region knowledge (RK). As the elements of XML are organized in a hierarchical tree and nested within each other, the regions are defined as hierarchically disjoint. This is important to avoid re-peatedly computing the text content. We therefore define N+1 disjoint RKs, where N is the maximum depth in the XML multimedia document collection: • Self level RK: It is a sequence of one or more consecutive character informa-tion items in the element information item, which is a multimedia element in which the multimedia object is referenced as an external entity. This is the lowest level region knowledge of a given multimedia object. • Sibling level RK: It is a sequence of one or more consecutive character infor-mation items in the element information items, which is at the same hierarchi-cal level of the multimedia element and just before or after it. • 1st ancestor level RK: It is a sequence of one or more consecutive character information items in the element information item, which is the parent element of the multimedia element, excluding those text nodes having been used for Self and Sibling RKs. • … • Nth ancestor level RK: It is a sequence of one or more consecutive character information items in the element information item, which is the parent of the element of N-1th ancestor level RK, excluding those text nodes having been used for its lower level RKs. The RKs are used as the basis for indexing and retrieving XML multimedia ob-jects. At this stage of our work, we are only interested in investigating whether re-gions can indeed be used for effectively retrieving multimedia XML elements. There-
