Indexing Audio Documents by using Latent Semantic Analysis and SOM

1999
Book Chapters

Abstract

This paper describes an important application for state-of-art automatic speech recognition, natural language processing and information retrieval systems. Methods for enhancing the indexing of spoken documents by using latent semantic analysis and self-organizing maps are presented, motivated and tested. The idea is to extract extra information from the structure of the document collection and use it for more accurate indexing by generating new index terms and stochastic index weights. Indexing methods are evaluated for two broadcast news databases (one French and one English) using the average document perplexity defined in this paper and test queries analyzed by human experts

Search engine indexing

Search engine indexing is the collecting, parsing, and storing of data to facilitate fast and accurate information retrieval. Index design incorporates interdisciplinary concepts from linguistics, cognitive psychology, mathematics, informatics, and computer science. An alternate name for the process, in the context of search engines designed to find web pages on the Internet, is web indexing. Popular search engines focus on the full-text indexing of online, natural language documents.

Multimedia information retrieval

Multimedia information retrieval (MMIR or MIR) is a research discipline of computer science that aims at extracting semantic information from multimedia data sources. Data sources include directly perceivable media such as audio, and video, indirectly perceivable sources such as text, semantic descriptions, biosignals as well as not perceivable sources such as bioinformation, stock prices, etc. The methodology of MMIR can be organized in three groups: Methods for the summarization of media content (feature extraction).

Information retrieval

Information retrieval (IR) in computing and information science is the process of obtaining information system resources that are relevant to an information need from a collection of those resources. Searches can be based on full-text or other content-based indexing. Information retrieval is the science of searching for information in a document, searching for documents themselves, and also searching for the metadata that describes data, and for databases of texts, images or sounds.
