Integrating user preference to similarity queries over medical images datasets
2010
International audience; Large amounts of images from medical exams are being stored in databases, so developing retrieval techniques is an important research problem. Retrieval based on the image visual content is usually better than using textual descriptions, as they seldom gives every nuances that the user may be interested in. Content-based image retrieval employs the similarity among images for retrieval. However, similarity is evaluated using numeric methods, and they often orders the images by similarity in a way rather distinct from the user's intention. In this paper, we propose a technique to allow expressing the user's preference over attributes associated to the images, so simil…
Relating RSS News/Items
2009
Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to both: measure the relatedness, and identify relationships between RSS elements. Our approach is based on the concepts of semantic neighborhood and vector space model, and considers the content and structure of RSS news items. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
Towards a Novel Approach to Multimedia Data Mixed Fragmentation
2009
International audience; Distributed multimedia applications have emerged at an increasing rate during the last decade in several domains (video conferencing, e-health, virtual meeting rooms, etc). This has created several new challenging problems related to the data integration and fragmentation, user-oriented and adaptive interfaces, real time and network performances, etc. In this paper, we focus on the problem of data(base) fragmentation in a multimedia context. We recall in this respect that data fragmentation consists of reducing irrelevant data accesses by grouping data frequently accessed together in dedicated segments. We mainly address the issue of query and predicate implication r…
Detecting Inference Channels in Private Multimedia Data via Social Networks
2009
International audience; Indirect access to protected information has been one of the key challenges facing the international community for the last decade. Providing techniques to control direct access to sensitive information remain insufficient against inference channels established when legitimate data reveal classified facts hidden from unauthorized users. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature to meet indirect access prevention. However, those addressing the inference problem when involving multimedia objects (images, audio, video, etc.) remain few and hold several drawbacks. In essence, the complex structure of multimedia objects makes the fact of detecting indirect a…
Semantic aware RSS query algebra
2010
International audience; Existing XML query algebras are not fully appropriate to retrieve RSS news items mainly due to three reasons: 1) RSS is text rich and its content is dependent on the wording and verbification of the author, thus semantic aware operators are needed; 2) news items are dynamic and consequently time oriented retrieval is needed; 3) a news item may evolve through time, or overlap with other news items and hence identifying relationships between items is also needed. In this paper, we aim to solve these issues by providing a dedicated RSS algebra based on semantic-aware operators that consider RSS characteristics. The provided operators are application domain specific and …
RDF2SPIN: Mapping Semantic Graphs to SPIN Model Checker
2011
International audience; The most frequently used language to represent the semantic graphs is the RDF (W3C standard for meta-modeling). The construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation. The processing of large semantic graphs is a limit to the use of semantics in current information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border between two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. For this, we developed a tool, RDF2SPIN, which converts RDF graphs into SPIN language. This conversion aims checking the semantic graphs with the model checker SPIN in order to verify the consistency of the data. To illustrate our propos…
Extending SPARQL with Temporal Logic
2009
The data integration and sharing activities carried on in the framework of the Semantic Web lead to large knowledge bases that must be queried, analyzed, and exploited efficiently. Many of the knowledge representation languages of the Semantic Web, starting with RDF, are based on directed, labeled graphs, which can be also manipulated using graph algorithms and tools coming from other domains. In this paper, we propose an analysis approach of RDF graphs by reusing the verification technology developed for concurrent systems. To this purpose, we define a translation from the SPARQL query language into XTL, a general-purpose graph manipulation language implemented in the CADP verification too…
A new approach based on NμSMV Model to query semantic graph
2011
International audience; The language most frequently used to represent the semantic graphs is the RDF (W3C standard for meta-modeling). The construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation. Processing of large semantic graphs can be a limit to use semantics in modern information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border between two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. For this, we developed a tool, RDF2NμSMV, which converts RDF graphs into NμSMV language. This conversion aims checking the semantic graphs with the model checker NμSMV in order to verify the consistency of the data. The data integration and shar…
The Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering with Gower index: a methodology for automatic design of OLAP cube in ecological data processing context
2015
In Press, Corrected Proof; International audience; The OLAP systems can be an improvement for ecological studies. In fact, ecology studies, follows and analyzes phenomenon across space and time and according to several parameters. OLAP systems can provide to ecologists browsing in a large dataset. One focus of the current research on OLAP system is the automatic design of OLAP cubes and of data warehouse schemas. This kind of works makes accessible OLAP technology to non information technology experts. But to be efficient, the automatic OLAP building must take into account various cases. Moreover the OLAP technology is based on the concept of hierarchy. Thereby the hierarchical clustering m…
Apports des réseaux sociaux pour la gestion de la relation client
2014
National audience; Depuis quelques années, le Web s'est transformé en une plateforme d'échanges. La gestion de relation client doit évoluer pour tirer partie des données disponibles sur les réseaux sociaux et mettre l'entreprise au coeur des échanges. Nous proposons dans cet article une approche générique de détection de communautés de clients d'une entreprise, basée sur leur comportement explicite et implicite, intégrant des données de sources diverses. Nous définissons une mesure de similarité, entre un utilisateur et un tag, prenant en compte la notation et la consultation des ressources et le réseau social de l'utilisateur. Nous validons cette approche sur une base exemple en utilisant …
