User’s Intention-based Search of Video Visual Content Spatial Concept Association Based Search (SCABS) provides interface for users to express their query visual intention (image in mind) in retrieving videos.  Spatial Concepts Transition Based Search (SCTBS) search mechanism grasps semantic and episodic (change from one scene to another) expectations of a user in generating retrieval results.

Educational Content Video Search based on Question Answering Technique and Collaborative Profile Video Links Repository Semantic Web Create & Update Collaborative Profile Record VQA Navigational History Get domain specific video- content (hits) 1.

A Support Environment for Novice Researches Using Semantic Approach Identifying methods to support and enhance Scholarly Research Activity on the web.

Question Answering and Document Retrieval Engine Using Logical Linguistic Approach  A1A1 A1A1 A2A2 B1B1 B2B2 B1B1  Design of the Indexing framework  This research focuses on retrieving the answer to the question posed as well as stating the source document in which the answer is derived from. The research also presented a new approach in creating semantic Skolem Indexing matrix based on logical linguistic approach for automatically indexing multiple documents into single knowledge representation. A framework on IR for QA that uses this semantic matrix as its knowledge representation has been designed and implemented.

Features Based Camera Model Identification Inter-camera model Intra-camera model Inter-camera model Intra-camera model To ensure the validity of the evidence, digital forensics help by providing essential information about an image. For example image forensics can be used to trace the source of a digital image. Figure 1: EXIF’s make and camera model information changed by using ExifTool software package * represents 0% Confusion matrix for original images.
