TITLE: Getting ontological knowledge from 2D images
PRESENTER: Associate Professor Rodrigo Martínez-Béjar, http://klt.inf.um.es, rodrigo@um.es
AFFILIATION:Knowledge Technologies Group, Faculty of Informatics, University of Murcia, Spain, http://www.um.es
DATE: Friday 20th July 2007
TIME: 12:00:00
PLACE: CSE Seminar Room, Level 1, K17
ABSTRACT:
The wide use of the Internet and the increasingly improvement of
communication technologies have led users to the need to manage
multimedia information. In particular, there is an ample consensus
about the necessity of new computational systems capable of
processing images and "understand" what they contain. Such systems
would ideally allow to retrieve multimedia content, to improve the way
of storing it or to process the images to get some information
interesting for the user. This presentation presents an ontology to
represent 2D objects/concepts related to each other with qualitative
spatial relationships to represent high level spatial information.
BIOGRAPHY OF SPEAKER:
Dr. Martinez-Bejar's main research interest is in knowledge-based systems
with emphasis in knowledge Acquisition, Modelling and Maintenance. He is
currently the leader of the Knowledge Technologies and Cognitive Modelling
Research Group at the University of Murcia. He has participated in a number
of projects and publications world-wide concerned with Ontologies and
Knowledge-based Systems. As a result of his teams research, several
knowledge-based systems prototypes have been developed that make use of
ontologies and/or Ripple Down Rules in different application domains,
including medicine. In 2004, he was awarded a project financed by the
Spanish Government to set-up a spin-off company which applies, among
others, some (knowledge) technologies developed by his research team in
the oncology domain.
