A.1:Another Busy DayAmy: Why don't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party?Talia: No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy: Come on! Josh Taylor is having a party. A lot of available guys will be there . . . . You might meet someone. Talia: No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me . . . Tony: Good, you're here. I have something important to talk to you about. What are you working on?Talia: I'm researching the background information for that transportation story.Amy: She's always working. She told me to tell you that. Tony: I have a big project for you to work on. I know you've been hoping for a break. This may be it.Talia: Really? That's great!Tony: Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?Tony: Why don't we get together for lunch tomorrow? Terry: Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm busy all week.Tony: Too bad. Well, then, how about having lunch with me next week? Any day but Wednesday is good for me. Terry: How about Tuesday?Tony: Sure. Next Tuesday is fine. Let's say 12:30. OK? Terry: Great. Tuesday at 12:30 is fine.Amy: How about going to the movies Thursday night? Lynn: Sorry. I can't. I take a writing class on Thursday night. Amy: Oh, I forgot about that. Lynn: Why don't we go on Friday?Amy: Friday is fine. I'll call you on Thursday, OK? Lynn: OK. That sounds great.Good evening, everybody. Is everyone here? OK. Good. Now, tonight, we're going to talk about the one thing you need to create the best news stories. Do you know what that is? No, I'm not talking about luck! The thing that creates good news stories is curiosity --your own curiosity. Curiosity is the engine, the power for the story. Curiosity will help you come up with good questions.Now, remember, first you have to start with the five classic journalistic questions--you know, who, what, when, where, and why. Right? We've talked about these a lot. But these questions are just for starters. They're useful questions, but they're not sufficient by themselves. You have to expand on them. You have to get into probing questions. For example, Who else knows that? What do you think about this? When did you first find out about this? Where did you get your information? Why do you care about this? These are the kinds of questions that will shape your story. And you need to develop this kind of curiosity for every story you work on.restless adj. unable to keep still, especially because you are impatient, anxious, or boredThe president's speech was so boring that the audience was getting restless.retire v. to stop working, usually because of old ageIn the U.S., most workers retire between the ages of 65 and 70.schedule n. a plan of what someone is going to do and when they are going to do itWhat's your schedule like next week? Do you have time to have lunch with me?sense of humor collocation the ability to understand or enjoy things that are funny, or to make people laughMakiko has no sense of humor -- she never laughs at my jokes!workaholic n. INFORMAL someone who works much more than other people, and who does not have time to do anything else.You're such a workaholic! Instead of bringing work home from the office this weekend, can't we please go to a movie? balance n. a state in which different things have the right amount of importance or influence in relation to each otherIt's hard to find a balance between work and play when you want to advance in your career.flexible adj. a person, plan, etc., that can change or be changed easily to suit any new situationMy work schedule is very flexible: I can start any time between 7:00 and 11:00, as long as I work 35 hours a week. irritable adj. easily annoyed or made angryGoodness, you're irritable this morning! Didn't you sleep well?overcome v. to succeed in controlling a feeling or problemIt wasn't easy, but I finally overcame my fear of speaking in public.productive adj. doing or achieving a lotA well-designed office can make your staff more productive.Get a Life!Sara is a junior partner at her law firm. She works 80 hours a week "just to keep up." Stan is a financial planner. He works 60-hour weeks because he wants to retire when he is 35. Sara and Stan are working more hours each year, and spending less time with their families. Sara and Stan are like many people around the world. They are workaholics.Could you be a workaholic? Answer these questions:Do you get to work or school earlier and leave later than you did a year ago?Do you often catch colds and have backaches, stomachaches, or headaches?Do you take short vacations, or none at all?Do you think about work when you're not at work?Is your career or your schoolwork all you think about?Have you lost your sense of humor?Do you feel restless and irritable when you're not working or studying?Do you wake up feeling tired, even after a full night's sleep?If you answered "yes" to more than four questions, you may be a workaholic. Many experts believe the best way to overcome workaholism is to have a healthy balance between work and play. Some companies are trying to help employees balance their lives by providing benefits like flexible work schedules, family leave for employees who are new parents, and on-site day care for children. These employers know that a balanced life results in a happier, healthier, more productive employee.REVIEW QUIZ ANSWER1. Amy thinks Talia is c. hardworking .2. Talia wants to be a a. reporter .3.

Everyone's heard of him, I think.Tony: Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Crawford talks about how he needs money. Amy: That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately. I've heard all sorts of gossip about that. Tony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting.

People do crazy things when they get famous. Talia: I just can't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe? Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. You're a good researcher, and one day--I hope--you'll be a great reporter. But don't let your emotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I'll have to find someone else to work on this story.Amy: I just saw Jeanette Keating's new movie last night. Kim: Guess what? She's leaving the movie business! Amy: Are you serious?Kim: Yes! Apparently, she's really exhausted and needs a rest.Amy: I don't believe it! What's she going to do now?

I'm going to ask Joanna about this right away!In the spotlight on this TV minute is Lance Armstrong, "the Golden Boy of Cycling."Lance Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971 in a small Texas town. From early on, it was clear that he was a natural athlete. In 1984, at age 13, Lance won a national triathlon, excelling at running, swimming, and bicycling. By 1987, while he was still in high school, Lance had turned professional. He decided to focus exclusively on bicycling, saying, "I was born to race bikes."Between 1988 and 1996, Armstrong won numerous international races. In January 1996 he was the top-ranked cyclist in the world. Then, during a race in October of that year, Armstrong fell off his bike in excruciating pain. They discovered that he had cancer, which had spread to his lungs and brain. Given only a 50% chance of surviving, in 1997 Armstrong underwent difficult cancer treatment. Amazingly, he not only survived, he returned to competition, winning several major races in 1998.Since that time, Armstrong has gone on to win many more races, including the Tour de France in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Lance says that cancer was an unexpected gift. "I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride."attendance n. the number of people who attend an event, such as a meeting, concert etc.Baseball is not as popular as it used to be, and attendance for most teams is down.fan n. someone who likes a particular sport, kind of music, etc. very much, or who admires a famous personAlicia is a fan of the Tigers, and she watches them every time they are on TV.match n. a game or sports eventWhile I was in London, I went to Wimbledon and saw some really exciting tennis matches.naturally adv. in a way that you would expectThe flight was delayed, so naturally the passengers were unhappy.record n. the fastest speed, longest distance, highest or lowest level, etc. everSybille set the world record for the 5,000 meter run.score v. to make goals or earn points in a game, competition, or testYusuf scored a goal just two minutes before the end of the game.season n. a period of time in a year when something happens most often or when something is usually doneThe Dynamos need to get a new coach next season!Fascinating Soccer FactsSoccer is the most popular sport in the world. More than 250 million people in over 140 countries play it. So, naturally, a lot of people know a lot about this sport. But there are some things that even the most enthusiastic fans do not know. For example:Dixie Dean, an English soccer player, scored 60 goals in 1928. He holds the record for the most goals scored by one person in a season.For many years, Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal held the record for playing in the highest number of World Cup series. He defended the goal for Mexico at five World Cups between 1950 and 1966.The record for the highest attendance at a soccer game was in 1950, when 203,500 fans attended the World Cup final match between Uruguay and Brazil.There are over 18 million soccer players in the United States. More young people play in organized soccer leagues than in organized baseball leagues.All over the world, people love soccer. Bill Shankley, manager of the Liverpool England team, loves soccer even more than most people do. Bill says that soccer isn't "a matter of life and death--it's much more important than that!"A.3:A Job for TaliaWoman's voice on tape: We'll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick's voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman's voice on tape: That's right. Do that, and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick's voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman's voice on tape: Great. It's a pleasure doing business with you.Tony: How's it going?Talia: I can't tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too. When will we have the results?Talia: He's going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good. Talia: You know, I've been a researcher here for three years. I've investigated other scandals. But something here doesn't seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn't make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career? Tony: That's a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours?Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters.Tony: Oh, that's it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about 10 years ago. I know that he's smart. And I know that he's always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else! Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That's true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I don't know . . .Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, you're not a reporter yet, you're still a researcher. Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I'll give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won't be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you'll let me report it, won't you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a break. I know that. I'll tell you what: come up with something big and the story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy . . . I hear he can be very charming. Don't let him charm you out of a story.Talia: . . . OK, talk to you later.Micky: Say, Talia, I have an idea. Can I come with you when you interview Nick Crawford?Talia: Well . . .Micky: I have lots of great questions to ask him! Let me have a shot at it! What do you have to lose?Talia: Well, I know him from college. It might be better if I go alone.Micky: Oh, OK. I guess you're right.Tony: Hey! Can I run something by you? You know that conference in Atlanta next week? What if you give the talk on our plans for Newsline instead of me?Dana: I don't know . . . I'm really busy right now . . . Tony: Oh, come on! It won't take much preparation. You know everything about Newsline!Dana: I suppose so, but . . . I don't like giving presentations.I get so nervous.Tony: Don't worry . . .

It's been an amazing year for you! How did it all happen?Alicia: Well, you know, singing has always been my passion. My mother says I sang before I talked. And then I performed in local plays and musicals for years before I finally made it big.Suzanne: How much influence did your parents have on your career?Alicia: My mother had a lot of influence. When I was in high school she made me take voice lessons, and it was my mother who signed me up for the local beauty pageant. I did it just to make her happy.Suzanne: And you won! I guess the old saying is true: "Mother knows best!"Alicia: Yes, I guess so. Well, that pageant was my big break. A record producer heard me sing during the talent competition. After I won, he invited me to come to Los Angeles. I got a recording contract. I worked really hard and gave it my best shot. Everything worked out.Suzanne: That's just great.

Of course!Talia: After all these years, I'm surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you? We were in an English literature class together, weren't we?Talia: That's right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer's class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don't remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn't we? Talia: Yes, that's right. As I recall, you did really well on it. Nick: That's right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: Not exactly. I'm a researcher now . . . with Newsline. Nick: Oh, I see. Well, newspeople aren't my favorite people right now. I heard there's a nasty story coming out about me. Something about me throwing a game? Talia: That's why I'm here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we'll meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Talia: No, listen. I'd like to . . . I want to hear your side of the story.Talia: You don't trust me, do you?Nick: Nope. You're in the news business. You're all alike. Talia: Hey, don't judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn't I? Really. You can trust me. Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend. After that I will deal with this mess.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say youthrew a game. They think you have gambling debts. Nick: Yes. That's why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That's impossible.Talia: No, it's not. That's why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn't you take the money? Did you or didn't you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers? Which story do you really want? Take your pick. Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the truth is, I didn't do it. I'm an innocent man.Robin: Excuse me, but don't I know you from somewhere?

How are you?Come one, come all and tune in this week, every night, from 10 to 11 p.m. for our great authors series. Each night this week is dedicated entirely to the master playwright and poet William Shakespeare. On Monday, we set the scene with a look at the life and times of Shakespeare in England, from his birth in 1564 to his death in 1616. On Tuesday, we'll examine the fanciful comedies of Shakespeare, including A Midsummer Night's Dream and All's Well That Ends Well. On Wednesday, we'll have a look at Shakespeare's historical plays, including Julius Caesar and Richard III. On Thursday, bring your handkerchiefs and join us as we sample some of Shakespeare's great tragedies, including Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. And, finally, on Friday, we'll experience the real Shakespeare in love, with an in-depth exploration of Shakespeare's romantic poetry, including A Lover's Complaint, and a selection from his 154 sonnets. Remember, this week, beginning Monday, from 10 to 11 p.m. -- experience the stuff that great literature is made of. That's Channel 10, your public service cable channel for history, drama, education and culture.Let's Get Together!People in many different cultures love reunions. They see each other at family reunions, class reunions, and company reunions. Why do people want to see others from their past? Michael Snyder, a psychologist, says it depends on their age. "We've done a lot of research on the subject," Mr. Snyder says. "There are three distinct age groups with distinct reasons. One group includes people under 22 years old. They have recently graduated from high school or college. They go to reunions because they are afraid they will lose contact with their friends."When people are in their 30s or 40s, they go to reunions to compare themselves to others. They want to find out what others do, where they live, and how satisfied they are with their lives. People over 50, Mr. Snyder says, simply want to see their old friends--and perhaps find people they can still connect with.For example, Nancy Norton used the Internet to find her best friend from high school, Jo Porter. After an exchange of emails, the friends met. "We have a lot to share with each other," Mrs. Norton says. In high school, Jo was my closest friend. Now we're together again."Today, Mr. Snyder says, more and more people from every group are using the Internet as a tool to connect with old classmates and friends.B.1:Nick's ExplanationTalia: Okay, let's get this straight. You're one of the country's best soccer players . . .Nick: Well, I have to admit--that's true. Of course, some people think that's not such a great achievement. Talia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk. I certainly couldn't play.Talia: But your coach can't verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can't see a sprain on an X-ray. Talia: You can't?Nick: No.Talia: I see . . .Nick: You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle. Talia: And not because you took a bribe?Nick: A bribe? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia: Then can you explain the tape?Nick: What tape?Talia: Listen to this.Woman's voice on tape: We'll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick's voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman's voice on tape: That's right. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick's voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman's voice on tape: Great. It's a pleasure doing business with you.BAAC1. When Nick says "A bribe? How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?" he means that the story that he took a bribe is unbelievable .2. Nick says "What tape?" because he doesn't know anything about a tape .3. Talia plays the tape because she wants Nick to know why she doubts him .4. When Talia plays the tape, Nick probably feels very upset .Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupid?Talia: That's what I want to know.Nick: Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game! Coach: I know all about it. Who is this?Nick: This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach: Hi.Talia: Nice to meet you both.Coach: Would you excuse us for a moment, please? Talia: Sure. Coach: Look, I don't think it's such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean: Yeah, you've got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don't get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach: Well, we're going to find that out. Now, I don't want to worry you, Nick, but I've been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick: What do you mean?Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week. Dean: No!Nick: They can't do that!Coach: Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don't think we can win without you.BAAB1. Nick says, "Why would I do something so stupid?" Another way to say this is ''I would never do a crazy thing like that.''2. The Coach says, "It's not such a good idea to talk to the media right now." He is talking about Talia .3. Nick's teammate Dean hears that Nick may not be able to play next week. Dean seems to feel shocked .4. The coach says, "I don't think we can win without you." When he hears this, Dean probably feels annoyed .get ahead phr. v. to succeed, especially in your jobShe doesn't have many business skills yet, but I'm sure she'll get ahead.get along phr. v. to have a friendly relationship with someone or a group of peopleAvi gets along well with all the other students.get carried away idiom to feel things so strongly that you are no longer in control of what you do or sayDinner was so good that I got carried away and gave the waiter a 30% tip.get going collocation to make yourself do something or move somewhere more quicklyWe'd better get going, or we'll be late.get it collocation INFORMAL to make sense of somethingShuichi just didn't get it when Lola told the joke.get it together idiom to be in control of a situation and do things in an organized and confident wayOf course it's a difficult situation, but you'll just have to get it together and do your best.get out of phr. v. to avoid doing something that you have promised to do or are supposed to doI've got an appointment at 10:00, but I'll see if I can get out of it.get over phr. v. to become healthy again after being sick, or to become happier after an upsetting experienceIt took a long time for Nikki to get over losing her job.get real idiom SPOKEN used to tell someone not to be stupid, when you think that what they are saying or doing is not sensible or practicalGet real, Julio, you can't run a marathon -- you've never run more than five miles!get through phr. v. to manage to deal with an unpleasant situation until it is over.I don't know how I got through that loud party -- it was the most unpleasant evening of my life!CBBCC AACBC。

利用ChatGPT进行PPT内容检索与关联性分析(英文中文双语版高分优质文档)
利用ChatGPT进行PPT内容检索与关联性分析（英文中文双语版高分优质文档）Using ChatGPT for PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis (English and Chinese bilingual version with high scores and high-quality documents)Thesis title: PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis using ChatGPTSummary:This study aims to explore the method of PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis using ChatGPT. With the help of ChatGPT's powerful natural language processing capabilities, we have designed a system that can retrieve information related to PPT content based on keywords or questions provided by users, and perform correlation analysis. Through experimental evaluation, we verify the advantages of the system in providing accurate and efficient retrieval results and association analysis.Key words: ChatGPT, PPT, content retrieval, relevance analysis, natural language processing1 IntroductionPPT is a commonly used presentation tool that contains rich text and multimedia content. When using PPT, users often need to find specific topics or related information in order to quickly obtain the desired content. This research aims to use ChatGPT technology to develop an intelligent system that can help users perform PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis, and provide accurate and personalized search results.2. MethodIn order to use ChatGPT for PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis, we take the following steps:2.1 Data preprocessingWe preprocess the PPT document, extract the text content and multimedia elements, and build an index for subsequent retrieval and analysis.2.2 ChatGPT model applicationWe use the ChatGPT model for PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis. Users can have a conversation with ChatGPT by providing keywords or questions, and the system will retrieve relevant content from the PPT library according to the user's input, and sort and analyze according to the relevance.2.3 Correlation analysisTo determine the relevance among PPT contents, we use the ChatGPT model for semantic matching and text similarity calculation. By comparing the semantic relationship between user queries and PPT content, we can determine the relevance between them and provide users with relevant PPT documents.3. Experiment and evaluationIn order to evaluate the effect of PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis using ChatGPT, we conducted an experimental study. Participants used the system for PPT content retrieval and relevance analysis, and were evaluated based on indicators such as accuracy, efficiency, and user satisfaction.4. Results and DiscussionThe experimental results show that using ChatGPT for PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis can provide accurate and personalized search results. The system can understand the user's query intention, and perform correlation analysis according to the semantic relationship of the PPT content, and provide PPT documents related to the user's needs. However, the system is still limited in handling complex queries and correlation analysis.There are certain challenges that need further improvement and optimization.5. Improvements and prospectsBased on the evaluation results and user feedback, we propose some improvements and prospects. First of all, further optimize the semantic understanding and expression ability of the ChatGPT model, and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the system for complex queries and correlation analysis. Secondly, more contextual information and contextual understanding are introduced to improve the performance of the system in PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis. In addition, combined with other technical means, such as image processing and knowledge map construction, the function and performance of the system can be further improved.6 ConclusionThis study explores an intelligent auxiliary tool for PPT by using ChatGPT for PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis. The experimental results show that using ChatGPT can provide accurate and personalized PPT content retrieval and correlation analysis, providing users with convenient search and analysis functions. Future research can further improve the function and performance of the system, and promote the application and promotion of intelligent PPT auxiliary tools in the fields of education and business.论文题目：利用ChatGPT进行PPT内容检索与关联性分析摘要：本研究旨在探索利用ChatGPT进行PPT内容检索与关联性分析的方法。

Andrew Salway and Khurshid Ahmad “Talking Pictures: Indexing and Representing Video with Collateral Texts” Procs. 14th Twente Workshop on Language Technology – Language Technology for Multimedia Information Retrieval, pp. 85-94. ISSN / ISBN: 0929-0672.Talking Pictures: Indexing and Representing Video with Collateral Texts Andrew Salway and Khurshid Ahmad Department of Computing, University of Surrey Guildford, GU2 5XH United Kingdom a.salway@surrey.ac.uk, k.ahmad@surrey.ac.uk
ABSTRACT The relevance of collateral texts for building knowledge-based visual information systems is discussed, with reference to moving images of dance. The knowledge acquisition technique Protocol Analysis is applied to elicit verbal reports from experts watching moving images with complex contents and interwoven meanings. These reports are analysed at lexical, clausal and discourse levels, using text analysis methods. The results show a potential for using these reports to index and represent moving images, through the creation of lexical resources and knowledge-bases. The KAB system integrates text analysis modules with a video object database to process collateral texts.
Keywords: Knowledge-based Visual Information Systems, Video Indexing, Collateral Text, Protocol Analysis
1 INTRODUCTION There is a need for technologies that can assist in the retrieval and presentation of visual information. These technologies must provide ways of attaching useful indices to both still and moving images so that they can be matched against user queries. Furthermore, representations of image content in knowledge-based visual information systems should address the fact that an image can mean many things to many people. The inclusion of human knowledge may be crucial in domains where the perception and understanding of images is an expert task. The knowledge of experts is realised in the language of their written and spoken discourse. The texts produced by experts can be used as high-level expressions of image contents - from which indices and representations for computer systems could be derived.
Typically, image and video retrieval research has sought to compute indices from raw image data - attaching colour, texture and shape features to still images, and segmenting and selecting key-frames for moving images. In the field of computer vision, researchers have developed picture grammars which build up image descriptions in terms of primitives such as edges, corners and surfaces. These approaches work well in many cases when matching on perceptual similarity is required. However, much visual information is complex, comprising interwoven strands of meaning that may be confounded in the image. In these cases, indices and representations of images need to be high-level and symbolic - to refer beyond the physical image contents. Certain visual information may be best understood, and hence explicated, by the experts of a particular domain: consider, a surgeon examining an X-ray image; a meteorologist making predictions from moving images of weather systems; a scene-of-crime officer recording photographed evidence; and art critics and dance scholars who can elucidate meanings in complex images which would not be apparent to a lay person. In these cases the words spoken and written by the experts about the visual artefacts will be high-level expressions of their contents. In order to exploit this fact for building knowledge-based visual information systems it is important to understand how experts articulate their knowledge, and how their articulations relate to visual information. Researchers have already exploited textual information that co-occurs with everyday visual information. For example, Srihari reported how newspaper photograph captions were processed to constrain subsequent image analysis algorithms that detected the faces of people described in the caption [1]. She used the phrase ‘collateral text’ to denote textual information which related in some way to visual information. Recent research has used the textual component of video email and of news video for indexing purposes, see [2] for examples.
