The exponential growth of digital information production and accumulation, as well as its huge diversification, present considerable management and access challenges. At the same time, new opportunities are created by the application of analysis methods for the discovery of interesting and potentially useful patterns, latent in the data sets. In this context, recently, we have created the ReCOD Laboratory (Reasoning for Complex Data) in the Institute of Computing at UNICAMP, Brazil. The term Complex Data comprises the universe of unstructured, semi-structured and multimodal data, and therefore covers a wide variety of data as text, sound, image, video, geographic information, among others. Although independent research have been developed in recent years to deal with each of these types of information, right now we are living an important convergence time and, relying on recent work on Feature Extraction, Multidimensional Indexing, Machine Learning and Fusion of Evidences we are, more than ever, able to create a coherent framework to handle these data. This seminar will present some of the existing research initiatives, which are being conducted at ReCOD Lab, aiming at creating this framework. Special attention will be given to our contributions concerning the proposal of new approaches for descriptors combination. ====================================================================== Ricardo da S. Torres received a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from University of Campinas, Brazil, in 2000. He got his doctorate in Computer Science at the same university in 2004. He is Associate Professor at Institute of Computing, University of Campinas. His research interests include Image Analysis, Content-Based Image Retrieval, Databases, Digital Libraries, and Geographic Information Systems. ====================================================================== Organizadora: Profa.
