Multimodal fuzzy ontology creation and knowledge information retrieval

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to design an information retrieval system for both text and image data using the concept of ontology. The focus of this paper is to improve information retrieval for sports events using Ontologies. For this purpose, an integration of domain knowledge with images using fuzzy ontology technique was implemented. In this work, the domain of basketball event is considered for creating low-level visual ontology for certain sport event images. The created multimodal ontology definition will provide a wide domain applicability, which allows the user to construct an ontology for any sport event. The domain ontologies are compared with the non-ontological information retrieval system to show the effectiveness of the ontological system.
