4.  image query -- all images with this person  audio query -- identity of speaker  text query -- all transactions with BANK Inc.  video query -- all segments with victim  complex queries -- convicted murderers with BANK transactions  heterogeneous queries -- photograph + murderer + transaction  complex heterogeneous queries -- in contact with + murderer + transaction retrieval media types text, images, audio, video, structured data

5.  precision -- how many answers are correct  recall -- how many of the right documents are returned precision = ( returned and relevant ) / returned recall = ( returned and relevant ) / relevant

12. media abstractions

14.  state -- smallest chunk of media data  feature -- any object in a state  attributes -- characteristics of objects  feature extraction map -- to identify content  relations -- to capture state-dependent information  (inter)relations between 'states' or chunks media abstraction  VO = { (O_i,Q_i,C_i) | 1 <= i <= k } where  C_1,...,C_k -- mutually exclusive conditions  Q_1,...,Q_k -- queries  O_1,...,O_k -- objects virtual objects

19. information retrieval: issues retrieval -- indexing & success metrics video -- (temporal) description logic applications -- Create a VR that realizes a digital dossier for a work of a particular artist. A digital dossier represents the information that is available for a particular work of art, or a collection of works, of a particular artist. digital dossier http://www.cs.vu.nl/~eliens/casus/
