Ireland: MSc / PhD Studentships at the Centre for Digital Video Processing (CDVP), Dublin City University

The CDVP is seeking a MSc/PhD research student to join the "iCLIPS: Integrating Context through Annotation and Linking in Information Retrieval for Personal Information Archives" project. Developments in digital data capture and storage mean that it will soon be possible to archive one's entire life experiences in personal information archives, or human digital memories (HDMs). Current search engines for the World Wide Web output document lists ranked by combining measures based on the Web's link structure and a match between document contents and search requests. The absence of links and lower quality of HDM document contents means that enhanced information retrieval methods are required to enable effective searching and location of interesting and useful material from within these archives. iCLIPs is concerned with the development of novel search methods for these collections. The project requires study of both information retrieval algorithms and the exploration an...
