In this book, the authors present the latest research results inthe multimedia and semantic web communities, bridging the “SemanticGap”
This book explains, collects and reports on the latest researchresults that aim at narrowing the so-called multimedia “SemanticGap“: the large disparity between descriptions of multimediacontent that can be computed automatically, and the richness andsubjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretationsof audiovisual media. Addressing the grand challenge posed by the”Semantic Gap” requires a multi-disciplinary approach (computerscience, computer vision and signal processing, cognitive science,web science, etc.) and this is reflected in recent research in thisarea. In addition, the book targets an interdisciplinary community,and in particular the Multimedia and the Semantic Web communities.Finally, the authors provide both the fundamental knowledge and thelatest state-of-the-art results from both communities with the goalof making the knowledge of one community available to theother.
