NOVEL INTERNET SERVICES FOR TEXT, AUDIO, AND IMAGE SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL

IMAGINE AN INTERNET SERVICE THAT RAPIDLY RETRIEVES EVERY LECTURE AND CONFERENCE OF A PARTICULAR PERSON BASED ON A SPEECH SAMPLE. IMAGINE AN INTERNET SERVICE THAT QUICKLY RETRIEVES ALL INFRARED AND SATELLITE IMAGES OF A CITY BASED ON AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH. ALSO, IMAGINE SEARCHING GIGABYTES OF UNSTRUCTURED TEXT IN SECONDS ON A 386-BASED MICROCOMPUTER. DEVELOSOFT CORPORATION PROPOSES TO INCORPORATE A NEW COMPUTATIONAL PARADIGM FOR THE RAPID SEARCHING OF TEXT, AUDIO, AND IMAGE DATA. THE PARADIGM, CALLED A CORRELITHM, HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED ON TEXT SEARCHING (TOPICAL RETRIEVAL), AUDIO ANALYSIS (VOICE RECOGNITION), AND IMAGE PATTERN RECOGNITION (RADIOGRAHIC INSPECTION), AND IMAGE PATTERN RECOGNITION (RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION) SBIRS. CORRELITHMS UTILIZE A FRACTION OF THE COMPUTATIONAL POWER NEEDED BY CONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS ON EXPENSIVE HARDWARE. FOR EXAMPLE, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES WERE AUTOMATICALLY ANALYZED ON A 386-BASED MICROCOMPUTER IN EQUIVALENT COMPUTATIONAL TIME AS ON AN N-CUBED MACHINE UTILIZING ALTERNATIVE METHODS. THE PROPOSED SERVICES FOR TEXT, AUDIO, AND IMAGE SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL WILL BE INCORPORATED WITHIN WIDE AREA INFORMATION SERVICE (WAIS) INTERFACES AND PROTOCOLS. MOREOVER, CORRELITHMS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE WAIS COMPUTATIONAL DEMANDS AND INDEX OVERHEAD FOR TEXT SEARCH. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS: THE INTENDED USERS FOR THE TEXT, AUDIO, AND IMAGE SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL INTERNET SERVICES ARE SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS IN THE ACADEMIC, GOVERNMENT AND COMMERCIAL SECTORS. THE USERS WILL COLLABORATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH ONE ANOTHER, FACILITATING TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFER, MILITARY RESEARCH, AND NATIONAL ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS.
