The advent of the information age has brought massive digital libraries of multimedia and multilingual content. This creates a high demand for multimedia and multilingual indexing and retrieval technologies, e.g. those applicable to audio archives. This paper reports on our development of spoken document retrieval (SDR) technologies, where speech recognition is combined with information retrieval for searching audio information in Cantonese, Mandarin and English - the languages of Hong Kong. We tackle the SDR problem in a monolingual setting, where the textual queries and the audio documents are expressed in the same language. In this paper, we describe our system, our interface design for audio information visualization, as well as our experiments on spoken document retrieval.

Solid Models are the critical data elements in modern Computer-Aided design (CAD) environments, describing the shape and form of manufactured artifacts. Their growing ubiquity has created new problems in how to effectively manage the many models that are now stored in the digital libraries for large design and manufacturing enterprises. Existing techniques from engineering literature and industrial practice, such as group technology, rely on human-supervised encodings and classification;techniques from the multimedia database and computer graphics/vision communities often ignore the manufacturing attributes most significant in the classification of models. This paper presents our approach to manufacturing similarly assessment of solid models of mechanical parts based on machining features. Our technical approach is three-fold: (I) perform machining feature extraction to map the solid model to a set of STEP AP 224 machining features;(2) construct a model dependency graph from the set of machining features;(3) find the nearest neighbors to the query graph using an iterative improvement search across a database of other models. We also present empirical experiments to validate our approach using our testbed, the National design Repository (http:/***). The contribution of this research is the first fully automated technique for machining feature-based comparisons of mechanical artifacts. We believe that this work can lead to radical changes in the way in which design data is managed in modern engineering enterprises.
The purpose this paper is to delineate why there exists a trade-off between biomechanical realism and algorithmic efficiency for human motion simulation models, and to illustrate how empirical human movement data and ...
