USER’S INTENTION-BASED SEARCH OF VIDEO VISUAL CONTENT


Spatial Concept Association Based Search (SCABS) provides interface for users to express their query visual intention (image in mind) in retrieving videos.

Spatial Concepts Transition Based Search (SCTBS) search mechanism grasps semantic and episodic (change from one scene to another) expectations of a user in generating retrieval results.

Design of the Indexing framework

This research focuses on retrieving the answer to the question posed as well as stating the source document in which the answer is derived from. The research also presented a new approach in creating semantic Skolem Indexing matrix based on logical linguistic approach for automatically indexing multiple documents into single knowledge representation. A framework on IR for QA that uses this semantic matrix as its knowledge representation has been designed and

implemented.
