How do you find what you need in large amounts of data? What tools do you have to handle texts in different languages? How do you find an image containing a specific person in a large collection of images? Or that 10-second clip that is important to you in a long video?
On June 1st, 2011 we will show you how! On this day we present the most important breakthroughs from the AMASS++ project. We will demonstrate computer programs that learn automatically from video and text which face belongs to which name. Or programs that break up broadcast video into coherent stories, and find related stories in newspaper articles. We show algorithms that automatically create multi-document summaries of articles in different languages and detect locations, times and actions. And we show you how all this automatic inferred information is elegantly combined in a table-top touch screen interface.
Come for the morning program and discover the details behind the mathematical models used or join us in the afternoon to see the programs in action and experiment with the systems yourself on real-live data. Participation is free (lunch and reception included).
