Context-Aware Media Retrieval

In this paper we propose a representation framework for dynamic multi-sensory knowledge and user context, and its application in media retrieval. We provide a definition of context, the relationship between context and knowledge and the importance of communication both as a means for the building of context as well as the end achieved by the context. We then propose a model of user context and demonstrate its application in a photo retrieval application. Our experiments demonstrate the advantages of the context-aware media retrieval over other media retrieval approaches especially relevance feedback.
