DRTC Students Seminar
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore 560059 D.R.T.C. Seminar [Batch:2011-13] The Multimedia Semantic Web Abstract The evolution of libraries from clay-tablets to consortia has witnessed the evolution of knowledge preservation on papyrus leaves to books to e-Books and audio books and even audio-visual contents. Thus preservation of knowledge for posterity not only depends on text based materials but also several other multimedia formats. Also the retrieval of such knowledge plays an important role, since storage is not our only purpose, dissemination is equally important as preservation to the information seeker. The near future is not only text based but also will be containing information in various multimedia formats, especially in the graphical/ image format (what I believe). Thus, I am focussing mainly on the multimedia data (especially images) as well as textual data for the future semantic web in this seminar. In my seminar, I intend to elaborate the various processes involved in the information retrieval process from images to text and vice-versa. I will also elaborate the underlying processes and principle involved in the retrieval of such data. I have discussed the CBIR (Content Based Information Retrieval), how it works, how it can be implemented in our library and information science field, its working methodology, etc. also the need of taping the Latent Semantics so that the information retrieval is meaningful and is with the least noise to avoid redundancy. The implementation of SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) has also been discussed. Moreover I have incorporated some conceptual hypotheses on which I want to work in future and extend my research, to what I think is plausible as of now. Speaker: Mayukh Biswas Venue : DRTC Classroom, Date: 6th December, 2012 Time : 02:00 P.M. All are cordially invited.
