Outline • The browsing task • Observations of interest • Ferret Meeting browser • Features • Demo • Architecture • How to evaluate
Meeting 1. Recording 2. Analysis annotations media 3.Browsing Quickly find out what happened in meetings
The Media Browsing Task The Meeting Browsing Task Find a maximum number of observations of interest in a minimum amount of time. But what are “observations of interest”?
Observations of Interest • May not match researcher interest • (e.g. gesture, emotion, speech, documents, etc.) • Depends on specific meeting and individuals. • Initial pilot collection indicate: • Most are associated with a specific participant. • Most about spoken content. • Substantial agreement between observers.
Ferret Browser • Control media playback. • Display user-selected XML annotations. • Data “basket” allows loading of data from any web server. • Zooming (handles long and short meetings). • Uses normal IE browser (with RealPlayer, SVG).
Browsable annotations • Speaker segmentations (who is talking). • Speech transcripts. • Captured screens. • Meeting actions (e.g. presentation, discussion) • Still to do / in progress • Whiteboard & paper strokes • Magnitudes, directions • Phoneme data?

Aims for a good BET Is it any good? We want a Browser Evaluation Test (BET)with the following properties: • Performance, not only judgment. • Independent of experimenter perception. • Directly comparable numeric scores. • Replicable.
