Outline

Our goal is development of fundamental technologies to recognize and summarize the large-scale multimedia data and enable users to understand the content of the data quickly without checking all of them. It is impossible for human to manually examine the huge amount of multimedia data such as image, video, audio, text etc. in the internet since they are uploaded every day from the physical world and are increasing rapidly. If the system automatically recognizes and summarizes the multimedia data, the system not only helps users to grasp their content, but also extends the existing text based search engine to retrieve them using natural language queries.
