ABSTRACT
In the last two chapters, we have shown examples of concept discovery and mining in an image database in which we use generative models to discover the concepts in the database. In this chapter, we switch the focus to a video database; in addition, we use a combination of the generative models and the discriminative models to discover the concepts in a video database. In particular, we focus on the natural database querying problem in the context of video — the Web video search — and show how concept discovery and mining can help in delivering an effective solution to the Web video search.
