Objectives

The technical goal of CUbRIK is to build an open search platform grounded on four objectives: Advance the architecture of multimedia search Place humans in the loop Open the search box Start up a search business ecosystem

Objective: Advance the architecture of multimedia search

Multimedia search: coordinated result of three main processes: Content processing: acquisition, analysis,

indexing and knowledge extraction from multimedia content

Query processing: derivation of an information need from a user and production of a sensible response

Feedback processing: quality feedback on the appropriateness of search results

Objective: Advance the architecture of multimedia search

Objective: Content processing, query processing and

feedback processing phases will be implemented by means of independent components

Components are organized in pipelines Each application defines ad-hoc pipelines that

provide unique multimedia search capabilities in that scenario

Objective: Humans in the loop

Problem: the uncertainty of analysis algorithms leads to low confidence results and conflicting opinions on automatically extracted features

Solution: humans have superior capacity for understanding the content of audiovisual material

State of the art: humans replace automatic feature extraction processes (human annotations)

Our contribution: integration of human judgment and algorithms

Goal: improve the performance of multimedia content processing
