In this paper, a novel method to generate video summaries is proposed, which is allocated mainly for being applied to on-line videos. The novelty of this approach lies in the fact that the video summarization problem is considered as a single query image retrieval problem. According to the proposed method, each frame is considered as a separate image and is described by the recently proposed Co...

We developed XVCL (XML-based Variant Configuration Language), a method and tool for product lines, to facilitate handling variants in reusable software assets (such as architecture, code components or UML models). XVCL is a newer version of Bassett’s frames [1], a technology that has achieved substantial productivity improvements in large data processing product lines written in COBOL. Despite ...

We conduct video scene detection with the aids of web-based context, especially for travel videos captured by amateur photographers in journeys. Correlations between personal videos and predefined travel schedules, which are used to retrieve related data from general-purpose image/video search engines, are discovered. Because scene boundaries are clearly defined in travel schedules, we segment ...

Recent advances in neural word embedding provide significant benefit to various information retrieval tasks. However as shown by recent studies, adapting the embedding models for the needs of IR tasks can bring considerable further improvements. The embedding models in general define the term relatedness by exploiting the terms’ co-occurrences in short-window contexts. An alternative (and well-...

Computer softwares for processing Thai language are developed at National Museum of Ethnology,Osaka,Japan. We use a popular intelligent terminal TEKTRONIX 4051 for inputting and editing,IBM 370 model 138 for KWIC making and sorting, and CANON's laser beam printer for final output. Using these systems,"Kotmai Tra Sam Duang"(the Three Seals Law)which contains many kind of laws and ordinances proc...

Collusion secure fingerprinting is used to protect against illegal redistribution of digital documents. Fingerprints are embedded in documents to identify different copies. A group of colluders having access to multiple copies with different fingerprints may construct a pirate object with a fingerprint that cannot be traced. We consider c-secure codes with ε error that allow one of the c possib...

This paper describes an experiment to compile Chinese concordances automatically. A very large volume of KWIC indexes for modern Chinese (one million lines per set) has been compiled successfully with a kanji printer for Japanese. This paper discusses the purposes of the experiment, selection and input of the Chinese data, some statistics on Chinese characters (vs. kanji) and the concordance co...

This paper presents a system which creates a KWIC index of WWW texts in Japanese by automatic summarization. The system consists of three modules: a WWW spider, an extractor of important sentences, and a sentence summarizer. The most effective module is the last one which employs a robust and fairly accurate Japanese parser: KNP. It segments an input sentence into phrases or simple sentences an...

—WLAN indoor location that is based on received signal strength indication (RSSI) technique needs extensive calibration to build a signal fingerprint. Re-calibration is also needed if there is a major change in the propagation environment. The use of propagation models to predict signal fingerprint becomes an interesting preposition. This paper will investigate the influence of predicted finger...
