The Quaero Project

Participants : Victor Codocedo [contact person] , Ioanna Lykourentzou, Amedeo Napoli.

The Quaero project (http://www.quaero.org ) is a program aimed at promoting research and industrial innovation on technologies for automatic analysis and classification of multimedia and multilingual documents (the project ended at the beginning of 2014). The partners collaborate on research and the realization of advanced demonstrators and prototypes of innovating applications and services for access and usage of multimedia information, such as spoken language, images, video and music.

In this framework, the Orpailleur team worked on information retrieval, document annotation and recommendation. The objective was to define methods and algorithms for achieving these complex tasks, based on KDDK techniques and especially the FCA technology.

Part of the thesis of Victor Codocedo was prepared in this context, focusing on information retrieval guided by domain knowledge, recommendation and classification of documents w.r.t. sets of annotations using FCA and pattern structures [2] [58] , [22] .
