Two presentations were given at the 5th edition of the Summer School for Multimedia Semantics, sponsored by WeKnowIt. Knowledge Based Semantic Indexing and Information Extraction from Social Sites.

WeKnowIt was presented at the CIVR 2010 Practicioner's Day event on July 7th, 2010, in Xi'an, China. Yiannis Kompatsiaris gave a presentation entitled "WeKnowIt: Making the Collective Intelligence of Social Media Searchable" (pdf).

2012: 2nd International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval - Call for Organizers

The PatMedia image retrieval engine was presented and demonstrated in the Exhibition of the IRF Symposium 2010 in Vienna. PatMedia was also one of the main discussion topics in the Image Retrieval Session of the Symposium. During this session, the patent image search engine developed by ITI, was evaluated by professional patent searchers, who discussed their findings and concluded that the functionalities of PatMedia would be of added value in their search tasks.

The "e-Report" idea, based on WeKnowIt technologies, was presented at the 2nd labs.opengov.gr meeting (in Greek). It promotes citizens participation and contribution combined with large-scale content analysis and structuring for efficient addressing local and environmental problems.

http://mklab.iti.gr:8080/LogMergerDemo Managing and reviewing the log files that are created by the Emergency Response (ER) personnel in the course of an emergency incident is a critical task for understanding and improving the implemented ER actions. A major challenge arising in this task is the fact that multiple log files are created by different members of the ER personnel. As a result, extensive manual effort is necessary in order to merge and align the incoming log entries in order to make them suitable for review.

http://www.clusttour.gr ClustTour is an online city exploration application that helps users identify interesting spots in a city by use of photo clusters corresponding to landmarks and events. ClustTour is based on an efficient landmark and event detection scheme for tagged photo collections. The proposed scheme relies on the combination of a graph-based photo clustering algorithm, making use of both visual and tag information of photos, with a cluster classiffication and merging module.

Η εργασία με τίτλο "Εφαρμογή Αυτοματοποιημένης Τρισδιάστατης Ανασύνθεσης Στεφανιαίων Αρτηριών στην Ανίχνευση Ευάλωτων Αθηρωματικών Πλακών" έλαβε το βραβείο καλύτερης εργασίας στο 30ο Πανελλήνιο Καρδιολογικό Συνέδριο, 29-31 Οκτωβρίου 2009, Αθήνα. The paper entitled "Application of Automated 3D reconstruction of Coronary Arteries in the Detection of Vulnerable Atheromatic Plaques" received the Best Paper award in the 30th Panhellenic Cardiological Congress, 29-31 October 2009, Athens, Greece. Η εργασία αυτή πραγματοποιήθηκε σε συνεργασία με την Καρδιολογική Κλινική του νοσοκομείου ΑΧΕΠΑ.

SBOING™ and Informatics and Telematics Institute (ITI) of the Research and Technology-Hellas have agreed to investigate the development and evaluation of technologies for statistical analysis of large-scale navigation and tourism related data. The objective is to extract useful information in order to offer advanced navigation and travel services by analysing user contributed content. These technologies are being developed by SBOING and in the framework of the "WeKnowIt – Emerging, Collective Intelligence for personal, organisational and social use Integrated Project", co-ordinated by ITI.
