Introduction Due to the pervasive role of multimedia documents (MDs) in nowadays information systems, a vast amount of research has been carried out in the last few years on methods for effectively retrieving such documents from large repositories. This research is still in its infancy, due to the inherent difficulty of indexing documents pertaining to media other than text in a way that reflec...

A multimedia retrieval model should involve a combination of concepts and techniques from 1) digital signal processing, which deals with the physical aspect (form) of documents and contributes algorithms for assessing the similarity between them, and 2) symbolic processing, which contributes conceptual models for representing the semantic aspect (content) of documents and algorithms for reasoni...

8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 29% of the time, 10th graders, 42%, and 12th graders, 46%. When only the three familiar problems are considered, 8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 48% of the time, 10th graders, 62%, and 12th graders, 68%. A test for the difference between two proportions revealed that only the 12th grade selected this solution more frequently th...

Although it is rapidly emerging as a forum for social science scholarship, the Worldwide Web is now used mainly to propagate conventional scholarship. This is certain to change, given the simultaneous expansion in the capabilities of web-based communication and decline in libraries' ability to keep abreast of print scholarship. This article outlines opportunities for changing and enhancing the ...

We employ a corpus-based approach to generate content and form in poetry. The main idea is to use two different corpora, on one hand, to provide semantic content for new poems, and on the other hand, to generate a specific grammatical and poetic structure. The approach uses text mining methods, morphological analysis, and morphological synthesis to produce poetry in Finnish. We present some pro...
