  • This study does a qualitative and quantitative analysis of how music by humming is being used by music educators in the classroom. Music by humming is part division of music information retrieval. In order to define what a music information retrieval system is first I need to define what it is. Berger and Lafferty (1999) define information retrieval as "someone doing a query to a retrieval system, a user begins with an information need. This need is an ideal document- perfect fit for the user, but almost certainly not present in the retrieval system's collection of documents. From this ideal document, the user selects a group of identifying terms. In the context of traditional IR, one could view this group of terms as akin to expanded query." Music Information Retrieval has its background in information systems, data mining, intelligent systems, library science, music history and music theory. Three rounds of surveys using question pro where completed. The study found that there were variances in knowledge, training and level of awareness of query by humming, music information retrieval systems. Those variance relationships where based on music specialty, level that they teach, and age of the respondents.

  • Many information retrieval systems have a simple process structure that a client process for a user is mapped to a server process for information retrieval. That is, when using information retrieval systems, each user is allocated a big process that consists of user interfaces, retrieval automatic indexing systems and storage systems. Therefor when many users use the information retrieval systems, it might be difficult to use the information retrieval systems. This is because the system overhead is increased as enormously much as users cannot use them. In this paper, we propose a new process structure for constructing efficient information retrieval systems that solves the problem resulting from he process structure. The proposed process structure contributes to the whole operational performance improvement of information retrieval systems and the efficientnt use of computer system resources. It is constructed based on a multi-threading scheme and a transaction processing monitor.

  • This study surveyed the retrieval systems for digital information resources of the university libraries in Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam districts and the vendors. Kinds of access points and retrieval conditions (Boolean logic, methods of index term identification, and particularities of the retrieval) of the libraries' systems are various and different to each other. Access points of the vendors' systems are unessentially various and different to each other, but the retrieval conditions are rather elaborated. Upon the result the suggestions for the standardization of digital information retrieval system are offered.

  • With the recent advances in information retrieval, cross-media retrieval has been attracting lot of attention, but several issues remain problems such as constructing effective correlations, calculating similarity between different kinds of media objects. To gain better cross-media retrieval performance, it is crucial to mine the semantic correlations among the heterogeneous multimedia data. This paper introduces a new method for cross-media retrieval which uses ontology to organize different media objects. The experiment results show that the proposed method is effective in cross-media retrieval.

  • Recently, a name retrieval function is widely used on navigation systems. In this paper, we propose the new dynamic hashing algorithm for a name retrieval function on it. The proposed dynamic hashing algorithm by constructing an index using the variance information of character is the better than existing methods in terms of storage capacity and retrieval speed. The algorithm proposed in this paper can be useful on systems that have limited resources as well as navigation systems.

  • This research deals with an order picking problem in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). When retrieval requests consist of multiple items and the items are in multiple stock locations, the storage/retrieval (S/R) machine must travel to numerous storage locations to complete each order. The aim of this research is to propose algorithms for the resolution of order picking problems with multiple stock locations to minimize the total time traveled by the S/R machine. We present and compare three alternatives for solving the problem based on enumeration, ordinary heuristic and genetic algorithms. We used a set of 180 different problems that are solved by these three algorithms. The results show that our proposed genetic algorithm is more efficient than the other two.

  • Current image retrieval techniques have shortcomings that make it difficult to search for images based on a semantic understanding of what the image is about. Since an image is normally associated with multiple contexts (e.g. when and where a picture was taken,) the knowledge of these contexts can enhance the quantity of semantic understanding of an image. In this paper, we present a context-aware image retrieval system, which uses the context information to infer a kind of metadata for the captured images as well as images in different collections and databases. Experimental results show that using these kinds of information can not only significantly increase the retrieval accuracy in conventional content-based image retrieval systems but decrease the problems arise by manual annotation in text-based image retrieval systems as well.

  • Recently, content-based music information retrieval (MIR) systems for mobile devices have attracted great interest. However, music retrieval systems are greatly affected by background noise when music is recorded in noisy environments. Therefore, we evaluated various pre-processing methods using the Philips method to determine the one that performs most robust music retrieval in such environments. We found that dynamic noise reduction (DNR) is the best pre-processing method for a music retrieval system in noisy environments.

  • We present a flexible retrieval system of face photographs based on their linguistic descriptions in terms of fuzzy perdicates. While natural for describing a face, linguistic expressions are also subjective, which affects the retrieval result. Thus, the capability of a retrieval system to adjust to different users becomes very important. In this research we use fuzzy logic techniques, for describing image data, inference for retrieval and adjustment to a new user. Experimental results of the adjustment are also included.
