In the past few years there has been an increasing trend towards personalization in the TV world. IMS-based IPTV is a good example of a highly personalized IPTV architecture, featuring an advanced identity management subsystem. This article studies a next step in the personalization of the television experience: concurrent use of TV services that are supported by the IMSbased IPTV system. That ...

This study examines the relationship between social media site Facebook and TV ratings drawing from audience factors of integration model of audience behavior. Based on context of Taiwan television network programs, this study collected measures for Facebook likes, shares, comments, posts for three genres of television shows and their Nielsen ratings over a period of eleven weeks, resulting in ...

This paper shows how a robot can detect its self-image in a TV monitor and use the realtime video to guide its own actions in order to reach an object that can only be observed through the TV image. The robot exploits the temporal contingency between its motor commands and the observed self-movements in the TV monitor to extend its body schema representation. The extended body schema allows the...

Matrix Factorization (MF) is known as an effective technique in collaborative filtering for recommendation. The MF approaches have often been applied for movie recommender systems which have user rating data. However, they cannot effectively be applicable for TV program recommender systems because (i) explicit rating values are not available; (ii) many TV programs are broadcast under single TV ...

“Social TV” is a term that broadly describes the online social interactions occurring between viewers while watching television. In this paper, we show that TV networks can derive value from social media content placed in shows because it leads to increased word of mouth via online posts, and it highly correlates with TV show related sales. In short, we show that TV event triggers change the on...

The dependence of the rate of the reaction CO+OH-->H+CO2 on the CO-vibrational excitation is treated here theoretically. Both the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) rate constant kRRKM and a nonstatistical modification knon [W.-C. Chen and R. A. Marcus, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 094307 (2005).] are used in the analysis. The experimentally measured rate constant shows an apparent (large error bars) ...

This paper presents one of the rst investigations of the use of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for content-based video indexing. A real-time video indexing system for TV news is described, which is able to distinguish between six diierent classes. The huge potential of these methods for video indexing of movies and TV shows is demonstrated by presenting the rst very promising results.
