Prerequisite:

 

INFS-755 or equivalent knowledge. Some programming skills required for the final project.

 

Course Description:

 

The vast growth of disk technology in the past decade has enabled generation and storage of large multimedia datasets. Such data, including audio, video, texts, etc., is ubiquitous and can be found in diverse domains. Their massive size and high dimensionality pose great challenges for researchers and practitioners. In addition, the unique characteristics associated with each data type imply that specialized solutions are needed. This seminar provides an overview on state of the art research on mining multimedia and high-dimensional data, and discusses issues related to handling such data types including feature extraction, high dimensional indexing, interactive search and information retrieval, pattern discovery, and scalability to large datasets. Mining techniques and data types to be covered include the followings:

 

·        Images

·        Video sequences/surveillance

·        Texts/Web mining

·        Time series

·        DNA data

·        Spatial/Temporal/Spatial-temporal data

 

Course Format:


The course will include lectures by the instructor, presentations from students, and class discussion. You will be asked to read research papers published in major conferences and/or journals (paper list TBA).

 

Grading:

 

Grading will be based on participation, a presentation, quizzes, and a final project. Each week you are required to read two papers, one of which will be presented by a student. You will be quizzed on both papers the following week. The presenting student will make up 2 simple quiz questions on the paper he or she presents.

 

Participation/Attendance: 15%

Quizzes: 15%

Presentation: 25%

Project Proposal: 10%

Project: 35%
