Two new research papers published

Two research contributions of me and my colleagues finally made their way online. The paper Adaptive Visual Information Retrieval by Changing Visual Vocabulary Sizes in Context of User Intentions by Marian Kogler, Oge Marques and me investigates how the size and generation process of visual word vocabularies influences retrieval for different degrees of intentionality, being a clear search intent, a surfing intent and a browsing intent. The paper Which Video Do You Want to Watch Now? Development of a Prototypical Intention-based Interface for Video Retrieval by Christoph Lagger, Oge Marques and me presents selected results of a large scale study on the motivations of video consumption on the internet.

My Talk @ Florida Atlantic University

Just hours ago I finished my talk here at FAU, Boca Raton,FL, USA. I was talking about user intentions or what I call “the other end of the camera”. It was the first time I presented a whole overview on the “Intentions & Multimedia” thing I’m working on now for quite a long time, and I think it was very well recieved.
