| Abstract | Multimedia classification is a key issue in modern data management, where the number of available items is dramatically growing and there is an increasing demand for access to distributed multimedia data. Selection by genre is a simple and effective mechanism for most of the users interested in these applications. In this paper, we present a feature extraction architecture and a novel learning algorithm for multimedia genre characterisation. We show how genre classification can be regarded as a sub-case of this general task, for which we give a complete solution. Our extracted features were designed to offer a reduced semantic gap, trying to take into account structural and cognitive content descriptors, rather than low-level features. Our learning algorithm is based on fuzzy set theory, and makes use of fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm as the kernel to learn concepts configurations from data. We tested our learning framework on a test database of over 100 hours of TV broadcast programmes belonging to 7 different common genres. Experimental evaluations showed the effectiveness of our approach. Additionally, we compared our technology with neural networks applied on the same task, in terms of training accuracy. We also compared the generalisation performances of our technique with neural networks and support vector machines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
