In this paper, we proposed the content-based music information retrieval technique using some MPEG-7 low-level descriptors. Especially, pitch information and timbral features can be applied in music genre classification, music retrieval, or QBH(Query By Humming) because these can be modeling the stochasticpattern or timbral information of music signal. In this work, we restricted the music domain as O.S.T of movie or soap opera to apply broadcasting system. That is, the user can retrievalthe information of the unknown music using only an audio clip with a few seconds extracted from video content when background music sound greeted user's ear. We proposed the audio feature set organized by MPEG-7 descriptors and distance function by vector distance or ratio computation. Thus, we observed that the feature set organized by pitch information is superior to timbral spectral feature set and IFCR(Intra-Feature Component Ratio) is better than ED(Euclidean Distance) as a vector distance function. To evaluate music recognition, k-NN is used as a classifier

In reusable component retrieval systems with facet-based schemes, facet queries are generally used for representing the characteristics of components relevant to users. This paper proposes an expanded facet query equipped with an object-based thesaurus to precisely formulate user's intents. To evaluate the query, a component retrieval system is also designed and implemented. For exactly retrieving the components, user's query should include relevant facet values capable of fully specifying their characteristics. However, simply listing a series of facet values directly inputted by users, conventional queries fails to precisely represent user's intents. Our query, called expanded facet query, employs fuzzy boolean operators and object-based thesaurus; the former logically expresses the fuzzy connectives between facet queries and required components, whereas the latter helps users appropriately select the specific facet values into the query. A thesaurus query is provided to recommend the relevant facet values with their fuzzy degrees from the thesaurus as well. Furthermore, our retrieval system can automatically formulate queries with the recommended facet values, if necessary.

According as marine leisure industry has developed and the demand of leisure culture has increased rapidly, a desire about service which supply marine safety and connect marine information is enlarging. We wish tc develop contents of download form that supply geographic information of Electronic Navigational Chart(ENC) in the marine that is digitalized to carrying along terminal of WIPI base and various informations for marine leisure. For this, DB that offer ENC and additional information should be constructed. Also, we need server (CPS; Contents provider Server) that offer required contents. In this paper, we design web retrieval component which store request information to database. When consumer required necessary information through personal mobile device, CPS can inform that. So, we wish to develop web retrieval agent component that parse informations in various World Wide Webs, and store to database.

Nowadays, online or mobile social network services (SNS) are very popular and widely spread in our society and daily lives to instantly share, disseminate, and search information. In particular, SNS such as YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, and Amazon allow users to upload billions of images or videos and also provide a number of multimedia information to users. Information retrieval in multimedia-rich SNS is very useful but challenging task. Content-based media retrieval (CBMR) is the process of obtaining the relevant image or video objects for a given query from a collection of information sources. However, CBMR suffers from the dimensionality curse due to inherent high dimensionality features of media data. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the kernel trick in CBMR, specifically, the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) for dimensionality reduction. KPCA is a nonlinear extension of linear principal component analysis (LPCA) to discovering nonlinear embeddings using the kernel trick. The fundamental idea of KPCA is mapping the input data into a highdimensional feature space through a nonlinear kernel function and then computing the principal components on that mapped space. This paper investigates the potential of KPCA in CBMR for feature extraction or dimensionality reduction. Using the Gaussian kernel in our experiments, we compute the principal components of an image dataset in the transformed space and then we use them as new feature dimensions for the image dataset. Moreover, KPCA can be applied to other many domains including CBMR, where LPCA has been used to extract features and where the nonlinear extension would be effective. Our results from extensive experiments demonstrate that the potential of KPCA is very encouraging compared with LPCA in CBMR.

Boolean retrieval systems have been most widely used in the area of information retrieval due to easy implementation and efficient retrieval. Conventional Boolean retrieval systems. however, cannot rank retrieved documents in decreasing order of query-document similarities because they cannot compute similarity coefficients between queries and documents. Extended Boolean models such as fuzzy set. Waller-Kraft, Paice, P-Norm and Infinite-One have been developed to provide the document ranking facility. In extended Boolean models, the formulas evaluating Boolean operators AND and OR are an important component to affect the quality of document ranking. In this paper we present mathematical properties of the formulas, and analyse their effect on retrieval effectiveness. Our analyses show that P-Norm is the most suitable for achieving high retrieval effectiveness.

In this paper, several problems functioning as the obstacles against software reuse were summarized. Among them, the issues dealt with in this paper include the effective method for constructing the library, the proper structure of the library, and the efficient retrieval technique. The knowledge-based approach and the information retrieval approach were integrated to construct and manage the library. The former is on the object- oriented model. Basically the object-oriented library is based on the classes and organized by inheritance. Because inheritance hierarchy is based on syntactical information, it dose not present the relationship of functionality. Using the information retrieval approach, the index file which characterizes the component and similarity among the components can be analyzed. Especially, we focused on the reusable library for the object-oriented programming environments.

In this paper, we propose the classification scheme and retrieval mechanism which can apply to many application domains in order to construct the software reuse library. Classification scheme which is the core of the accessibility in the reusability, is defined by the hierarchical structure using the agglomerative clusters. Agglomerative cluster means the group of the reuse component by the functional relationships. Functional relationships are measured by the HACM which is the representation method about software components to calculate the similarities among the classes in the particular domain. And clustering informations are added to the library structure which determines the functionality and accuracy of the retrieval system. And the system stores the classification results such as the index information with the weights, the similarity matrix, the hierarchical structure. Therefore users can retrieve the software component using the query which is the natural language. The thesis is studied to focus on the findability of software components in the reuse library. As a result, the part of the construction process of the reuse library was automated, and we can construct the object-oriented reuse library with the extendibility and relationship about the reuse components. Also the our process is visualized through the browse hierarchy of the retrieval environment, and the retrieval system is integrated to the reuse system CARS 2.1.

The paper describes a method of user feedback in order to enhance the retrieval effectiveness. In this paper, to overcome a weak point of the existing feedback function adapting fuzzy technique, we proposed the interaction function using gaussian function that gives different learning rate according to choice of components with same function. And, we grade degree that the user opinion is reflected to a system by applying user profile to the feedback function. User retrieval feedback method is adaptive retrieval method that makes a slow change for a long time using feedback function adapting gaussian function and user profile.

Content based image retrieval has become an increasingly important research topic for its wide application. It is highly challenging when facing to large-scale database with large variance. The retrieval systems rely on a key component, the predefined or learned similarity measures over images. We note that, the similarity measures can be potential improved if the data distribution information is exploited using a more sophisticated way. In this paper, we propose a similarity measure learning approach for image retrieval. The similarity measure, so called Fisher kernel, is derived from the probabilistic distribution of images and is the function over observed data, hidden variable and model parameters, where the hidden variables encode high level information which are powerful in discrimination and are failed to be exploited in previous methods. We further propose a discriminative learning method for the similarity measure, i.e., encouraging the learned similarity to take a large value for a pair of images with the same label and to take a small value for a pair of images with distinct labels. The learned similarity measure, fully exploiting the data distribution, is well adapted to dataset and would improve the retrieval system. We evaluate the proposed method on Corel-1000, Corel5k, Caltech101 and MIRFlickr 25,000 databases. The results show the competitive performance of the proposed method.

We present a novel method for face detection and recognition methods applicable to video retrieval. The person matching efficiency largely depends on how robustly faces are detected in the video frames. Face regions are detected in video frames using viola-jones features boosted with the Adaboost algorithm After face detection, PCA (Principal Component Analysis) follows illumination compensation to extract features that are classified by SVM (Support Vector Machine) for person identification. Experimental result shows that the matching efficiency of the ensembled architecture is quit satisfactory.
