  2. Multimedia Research Speech Search Face identification Object recognition Video browsing Semantic extraction (3D) Segmentation (3D) Image search

  3. Speech Applications • Speech as interface • Speech as 1st class content

  4. Speech recognition Spectral Analysis o1..oT Acoustic Modelsp(ot..ot|phoneme) Matching (Decoding)time alignment  most likely hypothesisW’=argmax(w1..wN)p(ot..oT|w1..wN) P(w1..wN) DictionaryP(phonemes|w) Grammar (Language Model)P(w1..wN) (w1..wN)^ “Hello World”

  5. MAVIS technology • Indexing automatic transcripts as text • Automatic transcription accuracy is only 50-80% • MAVIS techniques • Word-level lattice indexing • index word alternatives – robust to recognizer errors • 50-140% accuracy improvement • index timing – navigate to exact point in video • Vocabulary Adaptation • Use NLP and Bing Search to expand word dictionary • Automatic keywords to expose to search engines • Enables discovery of speech content through search engines • Bi-product of vocabulary adaptation • See http://research.microsoft.com/mavis

  6. MAVIS Architecture Microsoft Azure • Store content to be processed in temporary Azure storage • Do vocabulary adaptation using Bing • Run recognition engine on content • Store results or recognition process (AIB) 4. Search/Retrieve results 1. Submit audio/video RSS 2. Retrieve AIB Web server(s) SQL Server(s) 3. Import AIB in SQL

  7. U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) Mission • DOE invests > $10 billion/year in basic sciences, clean energy technology, and nuclear research. • The immediate output from this investment is Information…Knowledge… R&D results • OSTI’s mission is to accelerate scientific progress by accelerating access to this information.

  8. OSTI’s Core Products • Information Bridge • Science Accelerator • Science.gov

  9. WorldWideScience.org

  10. Emerging Forms of Scientific Information Require New Tools • Numeric data, multimedia, and social media are emerging forms of scientific information • Each form presents special opportunitiesand challenges

  11. Search and Retrieval Challenges with Multimedia Science Information • Lack of written transcripts, i.e. no “full text” to search • Metadata, if available, is often minimal • Scientific, technical, and medical terminology/vocabulary • Videos can be long, often up to an hour or more

  12. OSTI and Microsoft Research Partnership • Video files collected from DOE’s National Laboratories • RSS feeds with metadata and URLs sent to Microsoft Research • Audio indexing performed via MAVIS • Audio index blob (AIB) returned to OSTI and integrated with SQL servers • Users can search for a precise term within the video, and be directed to the exact point in the video where the term was spoken

  13. Demonstration of ScienceCinema

  14. Looking to the Future • Additional content from DOE researchers • Integration of multimedia searches into WorldWideScience.org by June • High quality automatic closed captions • Multilingual translation capabilities
