IAIS: Galileo Videolexikon Fraunhofer IAIS lieferte neben der Ausarbeitung der Projekt-Idee die nötige Technologie, um die große Menge an Galileo-Sendungen im Videolexikon ohne manuellen Aufwand durchsuchbar zu machen. Mittels Audio-Mining-Verfahren werden die Sendungen automatisch erschlossen. Eine Spracherkennungs-Software wandelt dazu den Audio-Kommentar der Clips zunächst in Text um. Anschließend extrahiert das System daraus relevante Schlagworte (‚Tags‘), die den Benutzern der Seite als Suchbegriffe vorgeschlagen werden. Der Benutzer kann die Suchbegriffe kombinieren, und wird so schrittweise zu dem Thema geführt, das ihn interessiert. Mit dem Launch der Seite lassen sich im Galileo Videolexikon zunächst die Sendungen, die seit 2008 im Fernsehen ausgestrahlt wurden, online durchsuchen.

Look for a new category of free software titles every month. Topics from 2014:
