This paper describes an automatic content indexing system for news programs, with a special emphasis on its segmentation process. The process can successfully segment an entire news program into topic-centered news stories; the primary tool is a linguistic topic segmentation algorithm. Experiments show that the resulting speech-based segments are fairly accurate, and scene change points supplied by an external video processor can be of help in improving segmentation effectiveness.
We propose a concept search system called Kanshinji Antenna that searches for documents with semantic content similar to that of the input text. In this system, concept vectors are statistically generated as the semantic expressions of words, and the similarities between documents are judged based on these concept vectors. This makes it possible to provide search functions that cannot be implemented in ordinary keyword search systems. In this article we discuss the system configuration and useful functions of the Kanshinji Antenna and discuss its effectiveness based on the results of an accuracy evaluation and an online questionnaire.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
