Enlightening the Sun A User Interface to Explore Music Artists via Multimedia Content
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents an approach to browse collections of web pages about music artists by means of descriptive terms and multimedia content. To this end, a user interface called Three-Dimensional Co-Occurrence Browser (3D-COB) is introduced. 3D-COB automatically extracts and weights terms from artist-related web pages. This textual information is complemented with information on the multimedia content found on the web pages. For the user interface of 3D-COB, we elaborated a three-dimensional extension of the Sunburst visualization technique. The hierarchical data to be visualized is obtained by analyzing the web pages for combinations of co-occurring terms that are highly ranked by a term weighting function. We further investigated, in a first user study, different term weighting strategies to generate the visualization. A second user study was carried out to assess ergonomic aspects of 3D-COB, especially its usefulness for gaining a quick overview of a set of web pages and for efficiently browsing within this set.

متن کاملBrowsing the Web Using Stacked Three-Dimensional Sunbursts to Visualize Term Co-Occurrences and Multimedia Content
We present a novel visualization approach that extends the Sunburst technique to the third dimension, which allows for encoding additional data in the height of each arc segment. By stacking a number of such 3D-Sunbursts, we build a user interface for browsing collections of web pages. We apply techniques for web content indexing of multimedia data (text, audio, image, video) and text analysis ...

متن کاملExploring Geospatial Music Listening Patterns in Microblog Data
Microblogs are a steadily growing, valuable, albeit noisy, source of information on interests, preferences, and activities. As music plays an important role in many human lives we aim to leverage microblogs for music listening-related information. Based on this information we present approaches to estimate artist similarity, popularity, and local trends, as well as approaches to cluster artists...
متن کاملFoafing the Music: A Music Recommendation System based on RSS Feeds and User Preferences
In this paper we give an overview of the Foafing the Music system. The system uses the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) and Rich Site Summary (RSS) vocabularies for recommending music to a user, depending on her musical tastes. Music information (new album releases, related artists’ news and available audio) is gathered from thousands of RSS feeds —an XML format for syndicating Web content. On the oth...
