abstract = {In the last years, there has been much attention given to the semantic gap problem in multimedia retrieval systems. Much effort has been devoted to bridge this gap by building tools for the extraction of high-level, semantics-based features from multimedia content, as low-level features are not considered useful because they deal primarily with representing the perceived content rather than the semantics of it.
In this paper, we explore a different point of view by leveraging the gap between low-level and high-level features. We experiment with a recent approach for movie recommendation that extract low-level Mise-en-Scéne features from multimedia content and combine it with high-level features provided by the wisdom of the crowd.
To this end, we first performed an offline performance assessment by implementing a pure content-based recommender system with three different versions of the same algorithm, respectively based on (i) conventional movie attributes, (ii) mise-en-scene features, and (iii) a hybrid method that interleaves recommendations based on movie attributes and mise-en-scene features. In a second study, we designed an empirical study involving 100 subjects and collected data regarding the quality perceived by the users. Results from both studies show that the introduction of mise-en-scéne features in conjunction with traditional movie attributes improves both offline and online quality of recommendations.},

Clustering is based on a two-step process, where textual descriptions are used first and the clusters are then refined according to the visual features. The degree of diversification can be further increased by exploiting users’ judgments on the results produced by the proposed algorithm through a novel approach, where users not only provide a relevance feedback but also a diversity feedback. Experimental results performed on the MediaEval 2015 “Retrieving Diverse Social Images” dataset show that the proposed framework can achieve very good performance both in the case of automatic retrieval of diverse images and in the case of the exploitation of the users’ feedback.

First, by analysing a recipe collection sourced from Allrecipes.com,
we quantify the potential for nding replacement recipes, which are
comparable but have di erent nutritional characteristics and are
nevertheless highly rated by users. Building on this, we present two
controlled user studies (n=107, n=111) investigating how people
perceive and select recipes. We show participants are unable to
reliably identify which recipe contains most fat due to their answers
being biased by lack of information, misleading cues and limited
nutritional knowledge on their part. By applying machine learning
techniques to predict the preferred recipes, good performance can
be achieved using low-level image features and recipe meta-data as
predictors. Despite not being able to consciously determine which
of two recipes contains most fat, on average, participants select
the recipe with the most fat as their preference. The importance of
image features reveals that recipe choices are often visually driven.

abstract = {This paper challenges the generally taken-for-granted automatic link between media platforms, media technology and news user practices. It explores what has changed in people’s news consumption by comparing patterns in news use between 2004–2005 and 2011–2014. While new, social and mobile media technologies did not unleash a revolution in people’s dealings with news, they have facilitated, deepened and broadened user practices we already found in 2004–2005: monitoring, checking, snacking, scanning, watching, viewing, reading, listening, searching and clicking. In addition, these forms of news usage appear to increasingly order, control, organize and anchor other practices and the experience of time and environment in which they occur. Meanwhile, new and mobile news practices like linking, sharing, liking, recommending, commenting and voting have not become as central to news consumption as often assumed.},

abstract = {The invention concerns a method for processing a signal using an approximate MAP (maximum a posteriori) algorithm for determining a likelihood ratio Λk X of a set of states X of a lattice at a time k, with each of said states being associated at least one intermediate variable belonging to a group comprising a so-called forward variable and a so-called backward variable, propagated by said MAP algorithm and recursively calculated respectively in a direct orientation and in an indirect orientation at said time k relative to said lattice. The invention is characterized in that said process comprises a step which consists in reducing the number of selected states by said MAP algorithm so as to calculate said likelihood ratio, and, for at least some unselected states, in assigning to said forward variable and/or said backward variable at least one specific value, to calculate an approximate likelihood ratio.},
