Abstract

We present in this article a method for detecting similarity links between documents' content and speech recordings' content. This process, further called thematic alignment, is a novel research area that combines both document and speech analysis. This alignment will a) provide temporal indexes to documents, which are non-temporal data, and b) help discovering hidden thematic structures. This article first introduces a multi-layered document structure and quickly introduces the traditional speech structure. Further, it presents a simple similarity measure and various multi-level simple alignments between those two structures. Later, the meeting corpus is presented, as well as an evaluation of the implemented alignments. Finally, we present our future works on multi-alignments and thematic structure discovery.
