Abstract:

We describe MARIE-1 and MARIE-2, information retrieval systems for multimedia data. They exploit captions on the data and perform natural-language processing of them and English retrieval requests. Some content analysis of the data is also Performed to obtain additional descriptive information. The key to getting this approach to work is sufficient fast processing. We achieve this by decomposing the problem into information filters and applying a new theory of optimal information filtering which we have developed.
