    An unified approach for multimedia document representation and document similarity
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Pushpalatha, K.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.
    In the recent years, the evolution in multimedia technology has accelerated the growth of multimedia data. Even though the multimedia data are heterogeneous, the rich information they carry has made a high demand for sophisticated multimedia knowledge discovery systems. To mine the knowledge from multimedia document, each type of multimedia data has to undergo unique processing and knowledge discovery processes because of its uniqueness. However, this procedure of processing and analyzing each type of multimedia data separately may make the system more complicated in case of large databases. Alternatively, it will be more advantageous if heterogeneous objects are represented in a common domain, such that the similar processing and knowledge discovery methods can be used. Motivated by this concept, a method known as domain converter is proposed to represent the heterogeneous multimedia objects in a spatial domain. Also based on information theory, a similarity measure is proposed to find the similarity between the documents. To evaluate the proposed framework, the experiments have been conducted for the retrieval of multimedia documents. The proposed domain converter represents the multimedia document in a homogeneous domain, and with the proposed similarity measure, better document retrieval rate has been achieved. © 2014 IEEE.

    Semantic similarity based context-aware web service discovery using NLP techniques
    (Rinton Press Inc. sales@rintonpress.com, 2016) Kamath S?, S.S.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.
    Due to the high availability and also the distributed nature of published web services on the Web, efficient discovery and retrieval of relevant services that meet user requirements can be a challenging task. In this paper, we present a semantics based web service retrieval framework that uses natural language processing techniques to extract a service’s functional information. The extracted information is used to compute the similarity between any given service pair, for generating additional metadata for each service and for classifying the services based on their functional similarity. The framework also adds natural language querying capabilities for supporting exact and approximate matching of relevant services to a given user query. We present experimental results that show that the semantic analysis & automatic tagging effectively captured the inherent functional details of a service and also the similarity between different services. Also, a significant improvement in precision and recall was observed during Web service retrieval when compared to simple keyword matching search, using the natural language querying interface provided by the proposed framework. © Rinton Press.

    Feature pattern based representation of multimedia documents for efficient knowledge discovery
    (Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2016) Pushpalatha, K.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.
    The rapid growth of multimedia documents has raised huge demand for sophisticated multimedia knowledge discovery systems. The knowledge extraction of the documents mainly relies on the data representation model and the document representation model. As the multimedia document comprised of multimodal multimedia objects, the data representation depends on modality of the objects. The multimodal objects require distinct processing and feature extraction methods resulting in different features with different dimensionalities. Managing multiple types of features is challenging for knowledge extraction tasks. The unified representation of multimedia document benefits the knowledge extraction process, as they are represented by same type of features. The appropriate document representation will benefit the overall decision making process by reducing the search time and memory requirements. In this paper, we propose a domain converting method known as Multimedia to Signal converter (MSC) to represent the multimodal multimedia document in an unified representation by converting multimodal objects as signal objects. A tree based approach known as Multimedia Feature Pattern (MFP) tree is proposed for the compact representation of multimedia documents in terms of features of multimedia objects. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is evaluated by performing the experiments on four multimodal datasets. Experimental results show that the unified representation of multimedia documents helped in improving the classification accuracy for the documents. The MFP tree based representation of multimedia documents not only reduces the search time and memory requirements, also outperforms the competitive approaches for search and retrieval of multimedia documents. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
