In this paper, we propose the content-based music information retrieval system with improved retrieval speed and stable performance while maintaining resonable retrieval accuracy In order to solve the in-stable system problem multi-feature clustering (MFC) is used to setup robust music DB. In addition, the music retrieval speed was improved by using the Superclass concept. Effectiveness of the system with SuperClass and without SuperClass is compared in terms of retrieval speed, accuracy and retrieval precision. It is demonstrated that the use of WC and Superclass substantially improves music retrieval speed up to $20\%\~40\%$ while maintaining almost equal retrieval accuracy.

Current image retrieval techniques have shortcomings that make it difficult to search for images based on a semantic understanding of what the image is about. Since an image is normally associated with multiple contexts (e.g. when and where a picture was taken,) the knowledge of these contexts can enhance the quantity of semantic understanding of an image. In this paper, we present a context-aware image retrieval system, which uses the context information to infer a kind of metadata for the captured images as well as images in different collections and databases. Experimental results show that using these kinds of information can not only significantly increase the retrieval accuracy in conventional content-based image retrieval systems but decrease the problems arise by manual annotation in text-based image retrieval systems as well.

In retrieving large database of image data, the clustering is essential for fast retrieval. However, it is difficult to cluster a number of image data adequately. Moreover, current retrieval methods using similarities are uncertain of retrieval accuracy and take much retrieving time. In this paper, a suggested image retrieval system combines Fuzzy ART neural network algorithm to reinforce defects and to support them efficiently. This image retrieval system takes color and texture as specific feature required in retrieval system and normalizes each of them. We adapt Fuzzy ART algorithm as neural network which receive normalized input-vector and propose improved Fuzzy ART algorithm. The result of implementation with 200 image data shows approximately retrieval ratio of 83%.

The paper examined the concepts and features of content-based Image and Video retrieval systems. It then analyzed the retrieval performance of on five content_based retrieval systems in terms of usability and retrieval features. The results showed that the combination of content_based retrieval techniques and meta-data based retrieval will be able to improve the retrieval effectiveness.

From the 90's, the image information retrieval methods have been on progress. As good examples of the methods, Conventional histogram method and merged-color histogram method were introduced. They could get good result in image retrieval. However, Conventional histogram method has disadvantages if the histogram is shifted as a result of intensity change. Merged-color histogram, also, causes more process so, it needs more time to retrieve images. In this paper, we propose an improved new method using Adaptive Color Histogram Bin Matching(AHB) in image retrieval. The proposed method has been tested and verified through a number of simulations using hundreds of images in a database. The simulation results have Quickly yielded the highly accurate candidate images in comparison to other retrieval methods. We show that AHB's can give superior results to color histograms for image retrieval.

Most general content-based image retrieval techniques use color and texture as retrieval indices. Spatial information is not used to color histogram and color pair based on color retrieval techniques. This paper proposes the selection of a set of representative in the duplicated color histogram, the analysis of spatial information of the selected colors and the image retrieval process based on the duplicated color histogram and spatial information. Two color historgrams for background and object are used in order to decide on color selection in the duplicated color histogram. Spatial information is obtained using a maximum entropy discretization. A retrieval process applies to duplicated color histogram and spatial to retrieve input images and relevant images. As the result of experiment of the image retrieval, improved color his togram and spatial information method hs increased the retrieval effectiveness more the color histogram method and color pair method.

In this paper, how fast and accurate the companies provides exponentially increasing information to the users is the most important in the corporate competitiveness. The enhancement of the retrieval relevance became the important element in enhancing company competitiveness and it is required to provide the services that are beyond simple retrieval service for good quality search service. This paper proposes the effective scheme that enhances retrieval relevance by utilizing registered tag information. By proposed scheme, we can overcome the limitations of retrieval relevance that usual search engines provide. And we compare the proposed scheme with existing web retrieval service on retrieval relevance evaluation and related search keyword.

The big challenge in current content-based image retrieval systems is to reduce the semantic gap between the low level-features and high-level concepts. In this paper, we have proposed a novel framework for efficient image retrieval to improve the retrieval results significantly as a means to addressing this problem. In our proposed method, we first extracted a strong set of image features by using the dual-tree rotated complex wavelet filters (DT-RCWF) and dual tree-complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) jointly, which obtains features in 12 different directions. Second, we presented a relevance feedback (RF) framework for efficient image retrieval by employing a support vector machine (SVM), which learns the semantic relationship among images using the knowledge, based on the user interaction. Extensive experiments show that there is a significant improvement in retrieval performance with the proposed method using SVMRF compared with the retrieval performance without RF. The proposed method improves retrieval performance from 78.5% to 92.29% on the texture database in terms of retrieval accuracy and from 57.20% to 94.2% on the Corel image database, in terms of precision in a much lower number of iterations.

A Full text retrieval system is a natural language document retrieval system in which the full text of all documents in a collection is stored on a computer so that every word in every sentence of every document can be located by the machine. This kind of IR System is recently becoming rapidly available online in the field of legal, newspaper, journal and reference book indexing. Increased research interest has been in this field. In this paper, research on full text databases and retrieval systems are reviewed, directions for research in this field are speculated, questions in the field that need answering are considered, and variables affecting online full text retrieval and various role that variables play in a research study are described. Two obvious research questions in full text retrieval have been how full text retrieval performs and how to improve the retrieval performance of full text databases. Research to improve the retrieval performance has been incorporated with ranking or weighting algorithms based on word occurrences, combined menu-driven and query-driven systems, and improvement of computer architectures and record structure for databases. Recent increase in the number of full text databases with various sizes, forms and subject matters, and recent development in computer architecture artificial intelligence, and videodisc technology promise new direction of its research and scholarly growth. Studies on the interrelationship between every elements of the full text retrieval situation and the relationship between each elements and retrieval performance may give a professional view in theory and practice of full text retrieval.

The recent growth of full-text database operations has brought new opportunities for subject access. The fundamental problem of subject access in the online environment is the indexing language and technology. The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics and capabilities of full-text retrieval as compared to traditional bibliographic retrieval. Retrieval performance of indexing languages, full-text systems features achieved so far, and the new role of a controlled vocabulary, are examined. This paper also includes a review of the research on full-text retrieval performance.
