Abstract(in English) Impression-based retrieval of multimedia content is the best way to find items that suit the preferences, senses, or mental states of users. In this kind of system, the system presents a relatively short set of words that denote impressions; the users select and estimate one or more words using a graphical user interface (GUI) from this set for input to the system. With this approach, increases in the number of words presented lead to increase the cost to the user in terms of the time required to enter impressions. Conversely, a set of words that is too limited will often leave users unable to accurately represent their target impressions. To solve this trade-off problem, adopting a natural language interface (NLI) is considered to be effective and useful. In this article, we compare two kinds of impression-based music-retrieval systems in accuracy and convenience: one with NLI, and the other with GUI. And we discuss the results, and describe guidelines on design of better NLI.
