An Integrated System Supporting Effective Indexing, Browsing and Retrieval of Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation Database

In this paper, we present an integrated system supporting effective indexing, browsing, and retrieval of Microsoft PowerPoint presentation databases. Our main achievement is that we provide an efficient representation that is automatically generated from semantic multimedia content analysis of presentation slides. We also improve the effectiveness of our poster representations of presentation slides and in turn enhance the performance of document understanding. Moreover, we help users with no or less domain knowledge locate presentations within a large database by our summarized presentation posters and information/document centric search algorithm. Finally, we comprehensively analyze the performance of our system with both quantitative comparisons and qualitative survey.
