LIMAH aims at exploring hypergraph structures for multimedia collections, instantiating actual links reflecting particular content-based proximity—similar content, thematic proximity, opinion expressed, answer to a question, etc. Exploiting and developing further techniques targeting pairwise comparison of multimedia contents from an NLP perspective, LIMAH addresses two key issues of content-based graph-oriented multimedia collection structuring: How to automatically build from a collection of documents an hypergraph, i.e., graph combining edges of different natures, which provides exploitable links in selected use cases? How collections with explicit links modify usage of multimedia data in all aspects, from a technology point of view as well as from a user point of view? LIMAH studies hypergraph authoring and acceptability taking a multidisciplinary approach mixing ICT, law, information and communication science as well as cognitive and ergonomy psychology.
