Abstract

This work presents and compare two approaches for the semantic segmentation of broadcast news: the first is based on Social Network Analysis, the second is based on Poisson Stochastic Processes. The experiments are performed over 27 hours of material: preliminary results are obtained by addressing the problem of splitting different episodes of the same program into two parts corresponding to a news bulletin and a talk-show respectively. The results show that the transition point between the two parts can be detected with an average error of around three minutes, i.e. roughly 5 percent of each episode duration.

Poisson point process

In probability, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process is a type of random mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential feature that the points occur independently of one another. The Poisson point process is often called simply the Poisson process, but it is also called a Poisson random measure, Poisson random point field or Poisson point field.

Stochastic process

In probability theory and related fields, a stochastic (stəˈkæstɪk) or random process is a mathematical object usually defined as a sequence of random variables, where the index of the sequence has the interpretation of time. Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of systems and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner. Examples include the growth of a bacterial population, an electrical current fluctuating due to thermal noise, or the movement of a gas molecule.

Exponential distribution

In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate. It is a particular case of the gamma distribution. It is the continuous analogue of the geometric distribution, and it has the key property of being memoryless. In addition to being used for the analysis of Poisson point processes it is found in various other contexts.
