S83 - Unlocking Data Trapped in Audio and Video Files
Conference Track
8. Emerging Technologies & Trends
Learning Objectives
- understand what sort of information is available from media files
- have an overview of the tools (both commercial and open source) that help extract that information
Abstract
Playing back audio and video files isn't enough. These files are full of extremely rich data that archivists can exploit thanks to an emerging category of signal and natural language processing technologies to extract words, emotions, identity, events, and even objects. Some of these are accessible via developer-friendly APIs.
