Structuring and Querying Personalized Audio Using Ontologies1 Ph.D. Thesis Proposal

چکیده
User-customized information selection and delivery reduces the complexity of the overwhelming amount of information available to end-users. Our approach employs user profiles, data selection, and presentation facilities to deliver customized audio information to end-users. Specifically, we construct a domain-dependent ontology (a collection of key concepts and their inter-relationships) to enable user-profile construction to support the retrieval of personalized audio information. In this research, we show how a domain-dependent ontology facilitates the generation of metadata. We demonstrate that ontology provides end-users richer forms of information to query into the system rather than keyword search. We present how this ontology is used to generate information selection requests (database queries in SQL). We develop an efficient algorithm for conjunctive queries in client-server architecture. Finally, we discuss novel optimization techniques that improve query processing performance, utilizing the knowledge associated with the ontology. The approach we have developed is being implemented in the context of the Personal AudioCast project at the USC, Integrated Media Systems Center.

This thesis proposal presents a research project on augmenting a space with audio. Using the system described in this proposal, individuals can leave audio imprints of their identity in a real-world environment for others to hear. Furthermore, audio imprints in the environment can be linked together, similar to the way web pages are linked together today. Previous research in the area of augmen...
متن کاملExtracting domain knowledge from tables of contents
Knowledge in textual form is always presented as visually and hierarchically structured units of text, which is particularly true in the case of academic texts. One research hypothesis of the ongoing project Knowledge ordering in texts— text structure and structure visualisations as sources of natural ontologies1 is that the textual structure of academic texts effectively mirrors essential part...
