IG-AVProcessing

This repository is intended to organize the work, output and documentation of the CLARIAH Interest Group (IG) on Audiovisual Processing infrastructure

Aims of the Interest Group

The aims of the IG on Audiovisual Processing Infrastructure are:

• foster discussion and knowledge sharing regarding infrastructure for AV processing such as automatic speech recognition or computer vision
• develop and share best practices
• inform development of CLARIAH annotation tools and services

Scope of the Interest Group

• support for the scholarly use of tools for automatic annalysis of audiovisual media
• support for the implementation of AV analysis services/pipelines in the CLARIAH infrastructure
• support for the maintenance, updates and upgrades of tools for automatic annalysis of audiovisual media
• primary focus tools: segmentation, text-audio alignment, speech/speaker recognition, computer vision.

Aspects of audiovisual processing that are outside the scope of this Interest Group (because they are covered by other IGs):

• annotation processes and/or correction of automatic annotation
• crowdsourcing
• ...

Communication

We use the following communication channel:

• gitter?
• slack

Tasks

AV processing infrastructure problems that we try to tackle are:

• pipelines for robust and efficient large scale AV processing
• services related to AV processing
• auxiliary tools needed
