Managing Personal Libraries of Broadcast TV Content
This event took place on Wednesday 10 September 2008 at 11:30
Dr Cathal Gurrin Centre for Digital Video Processing, Dublin City University
This is a general talk about our experiences of developing digital video search technologies since 1999 at the Centre for Digital Video Processing at Dublin City University. No prior knowledge is required.
As the volume of digital video data in existence constantly increases, the resulting vast archives of broadcast video content and user created content are presenting both an opportunity and a requirement for the development of content-based video retrieval systems. In this seminar I will describe experiences from almost ten years of research into managing broadcast TV content, from the early days of the Físchlár digital video library and the early TRECVid retrieval experiments, to the more recent deployment of broadcast TV search technologies in the living room. I will discuss our experiences of providing effective retrieval from broadcast TV content, the challenges that are presented as broadcast TV search technologies are deployed in the home, and also how we see these search technologies progressing into the near future.

Social Software is...

Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
