The explosive growth of Web videos brings out the challenge of how to efficiently browse hundreds or even thousands of videos at a glance. Given an event-driven query, social media Web sites usually return a large number of videos that are diverse and noisy in a ranking list. Exploring such results will be time-consuming and thus degrades user experience. This article presents a novel scheme that is able to summarize the content of video search results by mining and threading "key" shots, such that users can get an overview of main content of these videos at a glance. The proposed …

As smartphone ownership rises, usage patterns are expanding. Libraries face an increasing demand for online content delivered in a mobile compatible format while being constrained by financial and staffing limitations. Solutions are readily available through free and low-cost products to create mobile web pages and existing design models from which to draw inspiration. Platform-specific apps can easily support the kinds of content most commonly delivered on library mobile pages: basic contact information and outbound links to the catalog, databases, and other resources. Two software platforms for creating simple pages were tested, the free software from WordPress with mobile detection formatting …

Searching Patterns For Relation Extraction Over The Web: Rediscovering The Pattern-Relation Duality, Yuan Fang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While tuple extraction for a given relation has been an active research area, its dual problem of pattern search- to find and rank patterns in a principled way- has not been studied explicitly. In this paper, we propose and address the problem of pattern search, in addition to tuple extraction. As our objectives, we stress reusability for pattern search and scalability of tuple extraction, such that our approach can be applied to very large corpora like the Web. As the key foundation, we propose a conceptual model PRDualRank to capture the notion of precision and recall for both tuples and …
