Manually tagging online media content is time consuming, and costly. But new ‘query by example’ methods, built on peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures, could provide the way forward for such data-intensive content searches, say European researchers.

Now a European research team has built a platform opening the Grid’s vast resources to business users. Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:00 +0100 http://cordis.europa.eu/ictresults/index.cfm?section=news&tpl=article&id=91046 A new way to access and reuse environmental data from diverse sources has been devised by European researchers. They foresee a future where environmental data and services are offered on the open market.

Europe is poised to reap the benefits of the new age of semantic search thanks to the work of European researchers. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:00 +0100 http://cordis.europa.eu/ictresults/index.cfm?section=news&tpl=article&id=90969 European researchers have created the first integrated semantic search platform that integrates text, video and audio. The system can ‘watch’ films, ‘listen’ to audio and ‘read’ text to find relevant responses to semantic search terms. At last, computers are able to look for meaning in our multimedia searches.
