Annonce en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau : aucun

Laboratoire/Entreprise : LIMSI / Spoken Language Processing Group
Durée : 6 mois
Contact : guinaudeau@limsi.fr
Date limite de publication : 2016-01-01

Contexte :
From the original idea to the actual distribution on TV, VOD and DVD, the production process and subsequent “life” of a TV program are divided into numerous stages, involving numerous actors (e.g. distribution, production, direction, screenwriting, casting, post-production or dubbing) and thus leading to the generation of a huge amount of heterogeneous metadata. However, only a few metadata eventually survive the tortuous production and distribution processes, making their integration difficult into novel TV-centric products.

Sujet :
The candidate will design new algorithms for information extraction from fictional multimedia documents (TV series, movies, etc…) and their associated metadata. Depending on their profile, the candidate may focus only on a few modalities, and collaborate with other members of the group to build fully multimodal approaches.

Additionally, the candidate will have the opportunity to be one of the main organizers of a new MediaEval task around TV and associated metadata (as a follow-up of the 2015 Person Discovery task [1])
