In this paper, we propose the concept of synthesizing a multimedia cooking recipe from a text recipe and a database composed of video clips depicting cooking operations. A multimedia cooking recipe is a cooking recipe where each cooking operation is associated with a corresponding video clip depicting it, aimed to facilitate the understanding of cooking operations. In order to synthesize such a...

An important research issue with multimedia databases is the formulation of queries to the database. Here the search for structured multimedia documents or relevant parts of it gains more and more significance. Unfortunately text retrieval on its own is not sufficient for the realization of capable search services in this respect. Therefore, an efficient combination of automatic text retrieval,...

HTML [RFC 1866] defines a powerful means of specifying multimedia documents. These multimedia documents consist of a text/html root resource (object)and other subsidiary resources (image, video clip, applet, etc. objects) referenced by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) within the text/html root resource. When an HTML multimedia document is retrieved by a browser, each of these component resou...

V\/ith the advent of multimedia and intranet technologies, managers and information systems designers face a new challenge: how to capture and present information using a variety of representation formats (text, graphics, audio, video, and animations) so that merDbers of an organization can make better sense out of the information avaitable. In this study, we develop a task-representation fit m...

Successful performance during multimedia learning requires accurate metacognitive judgments. However, little research has investigated the influence of accurate metacognitive judgments for different representations of information (e.g., text and diagram) on performance during multimedia learning. As such, we investigated if participants’ metacognitive judgments for text and diagrams (i.e., cont...

This paper will present the preliminary findings of a pilot study. Participants were randomly assigned into one of two groups, those receiving instruction 1) with subtitles (redundant text); & 2) instruction without subtitles. A diagnostic test was used to categorize learners as 1) having symptoms consistent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); or 2) non-ADHD learners. Two perf...

Distance education can be very effective use of instructional materials with visual, auditory, audiovisual and multimedia content. Visual content can be in the form of text, drawings, pictures, graphics and models, and the like. Auditory facilities are oral presentation or a speech, musical accompaniment, different sounds, etc.. Audiovisual content combine visual and auditory content, usually i...

Multimedia data is a form of data that can represent all types of data (images, sound and text). The use of multimedia data for the online application requires a more comprehensive database in the use of storage media, Sorting / indexing, search and system / data searching. This is necessary in order to help providers and users to access multimedia data online. Systems that use of the index ima...

A lot of research has focused on the beneficial effects of using multimedia, that is, text and pictures, for learning. Theories of multimedia learning are based on Baddeley’s working memory model (Baddeley 1999). Despite this theoretical foundation, there is only little research that aims at empirically testing whether and more importantly how working memory contributes to learning from text an...

Traditional text information–based management and utilization methods can not satisfy application demands of implicit and unstructured agriculture multimedia data. For providing a readable-friendly agriculture science & technology information service, this paper proposes a relation database model oriented multimedia data method, which implements content-based multimedia data search by indexing ...
