Transcrigal: A Bilingual System for Automatic Indexing of Broadcast News
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a Broadcast News (BN) database called Transcrigal-DB. The news shows are mainly in Galician language, although around 11% of data is in Spanish. This database has been constructed for automatic speech recognition (ASR) purposes. A BN-ASR reference system is also described and evaluated on the test partition of Transcrigal-DB. The reference system has been designed having in mind that both languages, Spanish and Galician, may be used. Performance of the reference is improved when language adaptation techniques are taken into consideration.

متن کاملContent-based video indexing of TV broadcast news using hidden Markov models
This paper presents a new approach to content-based video indexing using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). In this approach one feature vector is calculated for each image of the video sequence. These feature vectors are modeled and classified using HMMs. This approach has many advantages compared to other video indexing approaches. The system has automatic learning capabilities. It is trained by pr...
