Using ontologies and fuzzy relations in multimedia personalization

In this paper we extend on previous work in order to address the problem of multimedia personalization at a semantic level. In different previous works we have developed algorithms to address computationally efficient handling of large but sparse fuzzy relations ' and theory to address knowledge representation, thematic categorization and user modeling. In this work we take two further steps: i) we integrate ontologies in our original knowledge modeling approach and ii) we explain how these diverse algorithms and methodologies can be combined in order to approach a greater goal, that of semantic multimedia personalization.
