Abstract
We present Meeting Miner, a multimodal meeting browser for navigating recordings of online text and speech collaborative meetings. Meetings are recorded through a collaborative writing environment specially designed to capture participants activities. This information, usually lost in common recordings of multimodal meetings, offers novel possibilities for indexing, navigation and information retrieval in archived meetings. Meeting Miner uses temporal information from the logs of actions captured on self-contained information items (paragraphs of text) to uncover potential information links between these semantic data units. A novel space-based action navigation scheme is presented. Keywords and topic search as well as more advanced queries can be performed by the system. We illustrate the system navigation modalities with several browsing examples.
Keywords
- Speech Recognition
- Topic Search
- Editing Action
- Audio Segment
- Temporal Neighbourhood
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
