Abstract

This paper describes a novel browsing paradigm, taking benefit of the various types of links (e.g. thematic, temporal, references, etc.) that can be automatically built between multimedia documents. This browsing paradigm can help eliciting multimedia archives' hidden structures or expanding search results to related media. The paper intend to present a novel model for browsing any kind of multimedia archives and further focuses on an archive of meetings recordings, in order to illustrate the advantage of our method to perform cross-meetings and in general cross-documents browsing. First of all, the structure of meeting datasets is presented, describing in particular the media implied, the annotations used for cross-document linking and the major mining techniques integrated in this work. Then, the paper presents at a glance the visual browser we developed that combines searching and browsing by links. Further, the performances of the actual system are discussed, i.e. the automatic indexing and linking processes for the two different meeting corpora, as well as the access and browsing performances. Finally, the paper presents the major unsolved issues and our perspectives for future works.
