3 Introduction In document-centric meetings (lectures, teleconferencing, press reviews, etc.): Static documents are present Should be integrated in a common multimedia archive Need to build links between documents and other media Introduction Thematic Alignment One-best Alignment Multiple Alignments o Meeting Segmentation Alignments Grouping Conclusion & Perspectives

4 Document Alignments Several way to link static documents with other meeting data: Document/Image alignment Document/Speech alignment Introduction Thematic Alignment One-best Alignment Multiple Alignments o Meeting Segmentation Alignments Grouping Conclusion & Perspectives

5 Document/Speech Alignment Links static data (documents) to temporal data (audio). Enriches the documents with temporal indexes and thematic links. Helps: Building document-based browsing interfaces. Improving documents search and retrieval.

13 Thematic Segmentation Evaluation Manual ground-truth for 22 meetings 1. Speech: 2 main sets Stereotyped: 2.7 utterances/turn (ratio>2) Non-stereotyped: 1.3 utterances/turn (ratio<=2) 2. Documents: 2 main sets Mono-document Multi-documents Comparison with 2 mono-modal methods: Texttiling, Baseline Speech Baseline: turn-based segmentation Documents Baseline : reflexive alignment/clustering Introduction Thematic Alignment One-best Alignment Multiple Alignments o Meeting Segmentation Alignments Grouping Conclusion & Perspectives

16 Alignments Grouping 1.Implementation of a framework that: a. Combine the various levels, to correct the false alignments pairs, e.g. (sentences x utterances) & (logical blocks x turns) Speech T1 T2 U1 U2 U3 Document L1 L2 S1 S2 b. Combine the 3 alignments categories (Thematic, Quotations and References) to improve the document/speech alignment Speech Document Introduction Thematic Alignment One-best Alignment Multiple Alignment o Meeting Segmentation Alignments Grouping Conclusion & Perspectives
