Multimedia Information Retrieval

Introduction

    This course covers two major aspects of multimedia technology, namely the representation of text and image for information retrieval and the indexing structures in the information retrieval. In particular, the popular technologies about text and visual data representation will be discussed. The recent technologies in multimedia information retrieval will be discussed as well. Moreover, the nearest neighbor search techniques in the big data context are also extensively covered.
