In this notebook paper we describe the technical details of the submissions to TRECVID 2006 from CMU Informedia team. We participated in the high-level feature extraction and the search (automatic and interactive) tasks. Our emphasis is... more
The paper discusses the use of decision trees for probability-based ranking. Emphasis is placed on ranking problems in question answering, where the frequency of correct candidates is very low but a single correct answer at one of the top... more
A major challenge in biomedical Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is to achieve meaningful mappings that minimize the semantic gap between the high-level biomedical semantic concepts and the low-level visual features in images. This... more
This paper compares the retrieval performance of seven public search engines on Thai queries by using a blind evaluation. Two of the engines used in this study are Thaifocused search services, while the remaining engines are large,... more
Spoken dialogue systems typically use predefined seman- tic slots to parse users' natural language inputs into unified semantic representations. To define the slots, domain ex- perts and professional annotators are often involved, and... more
Documents with timestamps, such as email and news, can be placed along a timeline. The timeline for a set of documents returned in response to a query gives an indication of how documents relevant to that query are distributed in time.... more
This paper describes and evaluates vector-space, probabilistic and language IR models used to retrieve news articles from a corpus written in the French language. Based on three CLEF test-collections and 151 topics, we analyze the... more
Spelling errors in digital documents are often caused by operational and cognitive mistakes, or by the lack of full knowledge about the language of the written documents. Computer-assisted solutions can help to detect and suggest... more
Information retrieval performance evaluation is commonly made based on the classical recall and precision based figures or graphs. However, important information indicating causes for variation may remain hidden under the average recall... more
This paper presents the systems used by CLIPS-IMAG and LSR-IMAG laboratories for their par-ticipation to TRECVID 2006 and the obtained re-sults. Shot boundary detection was performed using a system based on image difference with motion... more
This paper describes usage of MT metrics in choosing the best candidates for MT-based query translation resources in Cross-Language Information Retrieval. Our metrics is METEOR. Language pair of our evaluation is English ! German, because... more
We present a novel Evaluation Metric for Morphological Analysis (EMMA) that is both linguistically appealing and empirically sound. EMMA uses a graph- based assignment algorithm, optimized via integer linear programming, to match... more
This paper describes our participation in TREC-2005 for the ad hoc Genomic track, in which we evaluate five different stemming approaches to performing domainspecific searches within a MEDLINE subset. We also evaluate the impact that... more
In this paper we describe the geographic information retrieval system developed by the Multimedia & Information Systems team for GeoCLEF 2006 and the results achieved. We detail our methods for generating and applying co-occurrence models... more
In this paper, we propose a method which ex- ploits the semantic proximity of words in unre- stricted natural language text to retrieve relevant documents. In order to facilitate this functional- ity, the system represents the documents... more
