Voxento provides a spoken interface to the lifelog dataset, which facilitates a novice user to interact with a personal lifelog using a range of vocal commands and interactions. For the version presented here, Voxento has been enhanced with new retrieval features and better user interaction support. In this paper, we introduce these new features, which include dynamic result filtering, predefined interactive responses and the development of a new retrieval API. Although Voxento was proposed for wearable technologies such as Google Glass or interactive devices like smart TVs, the version of Voxento presented here uses a desktop computer in order to participate in the LSC'21 competition. In the current Voxento iteration, the user has the option to enable voice interaction or use standard text-based retrieval.","PeriodicalId":150532,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Annual on Lifelog Search Challenge","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129976372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To satisfy a user's information need, the system asks the user for feedback on media items and uses that feedback to interactively construct a classifier, that is in turn used to identify the next potentially relevant set of media items. To facilitate effective exploration of a collection, the system offers filters to narrow the scope of exploration, search functionality for finding good examples for the classifier, and support for timeline browsing of videos or image sequences. For this year's Lifelog Search Challenge, we have enhanced Exquisitor to better support tasks with a temporal component, by adding features that allow the user to build multiple classifiers and merge the classifier results, using both traditional set operators and advanced temporal operators.","PeriodicalId":150532,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Annual on Lifelog Search Challenge","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126758608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
