Art and technology have always been very tightly intertwined, presenting strong influences on each other. On the other hand, technological evolution led to today’s digital media landscape, elaborating mediated communication tools, thus providing new creative means of expression (i.e., new-media art). Rich-media interaction can expedite whole process into an augmented schooling experience though art cannot be easily enclosed in classical teaching procedures. The current work focuses...
Photos have been used as evident material in news reporting almost since the beginning of Journalism. In this context, manipulated or tampered pictures are very common part informing articles, today's misinformation crisis. The current paper investigates ability people to distinguish real from fake images. presented data derive two studies. Firstly, an online cross-sectional survey (N = 120) was conducted analyze ordinary human skills recognizing forgery attacks. target evaluate individuals'...
Radio is evolving in a changing digital media ecosystem. Audio-on-demand has shaped the landscape of big unstructured audio data available online. In this paper, framework for knowledge extraction introduced, to improve discoverability and enrichment provided content. A web application live radio production streaming developed. The offers typical mixing broadcasting functionality, while performing real-time annotation as background process by logging user operation events. For needs station,...
In this paper, an audio-driven, multimodal approach for speaker diarization in multimedia content is introduced and evaluated. The proposed algorithm based on semi-supervised clustering of audio-visual embeddings, generated using deep learning techniques. two modes, audio video, are separately addressed; a long short-term memory Siamese neural network employed to produce embeddings from audio, whereas pre-trained convolutional deployed generate two-dimensional blocks representing the faces...
During the last two decades, citizens’ participation in news production process has raised great academic and entrepreneurial interest for participatory journalism. Traditional procedures concepts such as gate keeping have been under discussion. News organizations redesign their websites order to adopt tools applications that make it possible users be active consumers or even co-producers of journalistic content, by liking, sharing, commenting submitting material. At same time, huge amounts...
The proliferation of User-Generated Content (UGC) has led to catalytic changes both in the news production process and journalist-audience relationship. Media organizations redesign their strategies, by adopting tools participatory journalism through which amateurs comment on stories, submit material for publication or share articles. Furthermore, a large amount content becomes constantly available social media platforms, enhancing need continuous monitoring effective management. However,...
The task of general audio detection and segmentation based in means machine learning is very popular high-demanding procedure nowadays. Most relevant works the last decade aim at modelling order to conduct a semantics analysis high--level categorization. A generic strategy that would detect events as transitions from one state another considered interesting support whole classification workflow. This work investigates possibilities designing robust bimodal algorithm for perform well...
During the last two decades, citizens’ participation in news production process has attracted significant interest from both academia and media industry. Media consumption have been altered considerably traditional concepts, such as gatekeeping, under discussion. Many organisations include their websites tools applications that allow users to be active consumers or even co-producers of journalistic content, by liking, sharing, commenting submitting material. At same time, large amounts...
Multimedia semantic analysis is a key element in managing the exponentially growing amount of produced multimedia content, available on web and social media. Towards this direction, semantically enhanced Web-TV environment providing video-on-demand simulcast streaming services, proposed. The system offers content management automation capabilities by exploiting information derived from user uploaded interaction its users through processes annotation tagging. A fusion based approach employed...
The present research tries to highlight the importance of prevailing collaborative culture in development and evolution Greek primary school, while investigating leadership style adopted by teachers their possible interaction. field application was all selected all-day schools, multifactorial (M.L.Q. 5X-Short) (S.C.S.-T.F.) were used as tools. Following methodology descriptive Pearson"s correlation analysis, (N=782) questionnaires draw conclusions based on questions posed. results analysis...
The investigation of the collaborative culture in Greek primary schools with an emphasis put on Small rural and Urban all-day was basis for conducting study. main purpose study is to highlight ways which teachers everyday school practice act shape culture, so that if a redefinition their role required, feedback focus interest effectiveness responsibility. scope survey total number (N=782) randomly selected country. research tool used School Culture Survey - Teacher Form (S.C.S.-T.F.)...
