A brief introduction to tools from the LinkedTV project which can be used together to build new media applications based on conceptual linking of media fragments.
MICO — Towards Contextual Media AnalysisThomas Kurz
With the tremendous increase in multimedia content on the Web and in corporate intranets, discovering hidden meaning in raw multimedia is becoming one of the biggest challenges. Analysing multimedia content is still in its infancy, requires expert knowledge, and the few available products are associated with excessive price tags, while still not delivering sufficient quality for many tasks. This makes it hard, especially for small and medium-size enterprises, to make use of this technology. Ina addition analysis components typically operate in isolation and do not consider the context (e.g. embedding text) of a media resource. This paper presents how MICO tries to address these problems by providing an Open Source service platform, that allows to analyse media in context and includes various analysis engines for video, images, audio, text, link structure and metadata.
Annotating TV programming and linking to related content on the WebLinkedTV
At the D-WERFT conference in Potsdam, November 2014, LinkedTV scientific coordinator Dr Lyndon Nixon spoke about the LinkedTV project experiences in overcoming the challenges of knowing what happens inside TV programming and using that knowledge to automatically link parts of a TV program to related content on the Web.
LinkedTV - an added value enrichment solution for AV content providersLinkedTV
Linked Television is offering a solution for audiovisual content owners to semi-automatically enrich media with links to additional information and content related to objects and topics in the program and build client applications which access this data and provide new added value services to consumers.

Semantic annotation of media resources has been a focus in research since many years, the closing of the "semantic gap" being seen as key to signicant improvements in media retrieval and browsing and
enabling new media applications and services. However, current tools and services exhibit varied approaches which do not easily integrate and
act as a barrier to wider uptake of semantic annotation of online multimedia.
In this paper, we outline the Linked Media principles which can help form a consensus on media annotation approaches, survey current media annotation tools against these principles and present two emerging
toolsets which can support Linked Media conformant annotation, closing with a call to future semantic media annotation tools and services to follow the same principles and ensure the growth of a Linked Media
layer of semantic descriptions of online media which can be an enabler to richer future online media services.

Television Linked to the Web
Our vision of future Television Linked To The Web (LinkedTV) is of a ubiquitously online cloud of Networked Audio-Visual Content decoupled from place, device or source. Accessing audio-visual programming will be “TV” regardless whether it is seen on a TV set, smartphone, tablet or personal computing device, regardless of whether it is coming from a traditional or new media broadcaster, a Web video portal or a user-sourced media platform.

LinkedTV Deliverable 9.3 Final LinkedTV Project ReportLinkedTV
This document comprises the final report of LinkedTV. It includes a publishable summary of the project's scientific results and technological outcomes, a plan for use and dissemination of foreground IP and a list of dissemination activities (publications and events)
NexGenTV: Providing Real-Time Insight during Political Debates in a Second Sc...Benoit HUET
Second screen applications are becoming key for broadcasters exploiting the convergence of TV and Internet. Authoring such applications however remains costly. In this paper, we present a second screen authoring application that leverages multimedia content analytics and social media monitoring. A back-office is dedicated to easy and fast content ingestion, segmentation, description and enrichment with links to entities and related content. From the back-end, broadcasters can push enriched content to front-end applications providing customers with highlights, entity and content links, overviews of social network, etc. The demonstration operates on political debates ingested during the 2017 French presidential election, enabling insights on the debates.
The general aim of LinkedCulture is to describe how the information need of the Tussen Kunst & Kitsch (Antiques Roadshow) viewers can be satisfied from both their couch and on-the-go, supporting both passive and more active needs. Linking to external information and content, such as Europeana, museum collections but also auction information has been incorporated in these scenarios
The EUscreen project aims to promote the use of television content to explore Europe's rich and diverse cultural history.
It will create access to over 30,000 items of programme content and information, and by developing a number of interactive functionalities and dynamic links with Europeana it will prove valuable to the widest range of cultural, educational and recreational users.
EUscreen started in October 2009 and the project consortium, which includes 27 partner institutions from around Europe, is being co-ordinated by Utrecht University.
More information about the project can be found on www.euscreen.eu
This deliverable presents the LinkedTV Public Demonstrator which will be an online, publicly accessible Website collecting showcases of the key project outputs which form together our LinkedTV solution: the Editor Tool, Platform and Player, complemented by demonstrations of the provision of this solution for the content of two European broadcasters: the LinkedCulture and LinkedNews scenario demonstrators.
Engaging Content Providers in Development EffortsMariana Salgado
This is the presentation we used for a workshop in Mykonos, Greece. The goal of the workshop was to get ideas from other partners of the EUscreenXL project on the development work (interactive tools for the portal). September 2013.
LinkedTV Deliverable 6.5 - Final evaluation of the LinkedTV ScenariosLinkedTV
The deliverable presents the results of evaluating the final
scenario demonstrators LinkedNews and LinkedCulture in the LinkedTV project. We tested specifically user satisfaction with the enriched TV experience we enabled for cultural heritage and news TV programs. We also supported the evaluation of other aspects of the LinkedTV technologies in the trials, specifically the personalization and content curation.
LinkedTV Deliverable 5.7 - Validation of the LinkedTV ArchitectureLinkedTV
The LinkedTV architecture lays the foundation for the
LinkedTV system. It consists of the integrating platform for the end-to-end functionality, the backend components and the supporting client components. Since the architecture of a software system has a fundamental impact on quality
attributes, it is important to evaluate its design. The document at hand reports on the validation of the LinkedTV architecture.

This deliverable covers all the aspects of evaluation of the overall LinkedTV personalization workflow, as well as re-evaluations of techniques where newer technology and / or algorithmic capacity offer new insight into the general performance. The implicit contextualized personalization workflow, the implicit uncontextualized workflow in the premises of the final LinkedTV application, the advances
in context tracking given new technologies emerged and the outlook of video recommendation beyond LinkedTV is measured and analyzed in this document.
LinkedTV Deliverable 3.8 - Design guideline document for concept-based presen...LinkedTV
This document presents guidelines on how to setup enriched video experiences.
We provide user-centric guidelines on the named entities that should be detected and selected to effectively enrich video news broadcasts. This is presented in the form of a user study.
We selected 5 news videos and manually extracted the
candidate entities from various sources, such as the transcript, visual content and related articles. An expert was asked to also provide interesting entities for the videos. The resulting 99 candidate entities were presented to 50 participants via an online survey. The participants rated the level of interestingness of the entities and the usefulness of
information from Wikipedia about these entities. Analysis of
the results shows that users prefer entities of the type
organization and person and have little interest for entities of the type location. They also indicate that subtitles are not
enough as a source of interesting entities and that the amount of interesting entities can be improved by the combined use of subtitles with entities extracted from related articles or entities suggested by an expert. The expert suggestions showed to be more accurate than any other source of entities. Wikipedia seems to be a suitable source of additional information about the entities in the news, but should be complemented with additional sources.
We provide engineering guidelines on how to present,
aggregate and process content for TV program companion
applications. We describe the content processing pipeline that was developed in WP3 to feed the content for the LinkedNews and Linked Culture demonstrators. This shows how content from the Web can be re-purposed to enrich videos by extracting the core display content and presenting it in a uniform way to the user.
LinkedTV Deliverable 2.7 - Final Linked Media Layer and EvaluationLinkedTV
This deliverable presents the evaluation of content annotation and content enrichment systems that are part of the final tool set developed within the LinkedTV consortium. The evaluations were performed on both the Linked News and Linked Culture trial content, as well as on other content annotated for this purpose. The evaluation spans three languages: German (Linked News), Dutch (Linked
Culture) and English. Selected algorithms and tools were also subject to benchmarking in two international contests: MediaEval 2014 and TAC’14. Additionally, the Microposts 2015 NEEL Challenge is being organized with the support of LinkedTV.
LinkedTV Deliverable 1.6 - Intelligent hypervideo analysis evaluation, final ...LinkedTV
This deliverable describes the conducted evaluation activities for assessing the performance of a number of developed methods for intelligent hypervideo analysis and the usability of the implemented Editor Tool for supporting video annotation and enrichment. Based on the performance evaluations reported in D1.4 regarding a set of LinkedTV analysis components, we extended our experiments for assessing the effectiveness of newer versions of these methods as well as of entirely new techniques, concerning the accuracy and the time efficiency
of the analysis. For this purpose, in-house experiments and participations at international benchmarking activities were made, and the outcomes are reported in this deliverable. Moreover, we present the results of user trials regarding the developed Editor Tool, where groups of experts assessed its usability and the supported functionalities, and
evaluated the usefulness and the accuracy of the implemented video segmentation approaches based on the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios. By this deliverable we complete the reporting of WP1 evaluations that aimed to assess the efficiency of the developed
multimedia analysis methods throughout the project, according to the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios.
LinkedTV Deliverable 5.5 - LinkedTV front-end: video player and MediaCanvas A...LinkedTV
The LinkedTV media player and API has evolved from a single player and limited API in version 1 to a toolkit to allow rapid development and creation of different kind of applications within the HTML5 / multiscreen space. The main reason for this transition is that during the course of the Linked TV project different partners had different requirements for their scenarios. Instead of trying to fit all these requirements into one player and, most likely, compromise on the functionalities of the scenarios we wanted to offer something that would allow all partners a satisfiable solution.
Therefore the Springfield Multiscreen Toolkit, or short SMT, has been developed. The aim for the SMT was to allow flexibility for developing multiscreen applications. Also from a commercial point of view a toolkit with examples is more interesting than a pure player as it gives the freedom of developing new ideas with the LinkedTV platform.
LinkedTV Deliverable D4.6 Contextualisation solution and implementationLinkedTV
This deliverable presents the WP4 contextualisation final im-plementation. As contextualization has a high impact on all the other modules of WP4 (especially personalization and recom-mendation), the deliverable intends to provide a picture of the final WP4 workflow implementation.
LinkedTV Deliverable D3.7 User Interfaces selected and refined (version 2)LinkedTV
This report describes the LinkedTV user interfaces. Based on the results user studies and the initial evaluation of the year 2 prototype we selected and refined the interfaces. We selected a single screen application that uses HbbTV technology to provide additional information about a TV program as an overlay on the TV broadcast. In addition, we worked towards TV program companion applications that are tailored for two domains: news and cultural heritage. With these applications we demonstrate different types of interaction modes, such as synchronized content on a second screen, and bookmarking chapters combined with the exploration of related content after the program. The interfaces are built on top of the Multiscreen Toolkit. We created a component-based infrastructure that allows us to quickly create tailored companion applications by reusing and configuring interface components. In the final part of the project we finalize this approach and test it by applying it to a new domain.
LinkedTV Deliverable D2.6 LinkedTV Framework for Generating Video Enrichments...LinkedTV
This deliverable describes the final LinkedTV framework that provides a set of possible enrichment resources for seed video content using techniques such as text and web mining, information extraction and information retrieval technologies. The enrichment content is obtained from four type of sources: a) by crawling and indexing web sites described in a white list specified by the content partners,
b) by querying the API or SPARQL endpoint of the Europeana digital library network which is publicly exposed, c) by querying multiple social networking APIs, d) by hyperlinking to other parts of TV programs within the same collection using a Solr index. This deliverable
also describes an additional content annotation functionality, namely labelling enrichment (as well as seed) content with thematic topics, as well as the process of exposing content annotations to this module and to the filtering services of LinkedTV’s personalization workflow. We illustrate the enrichment workflow for the two main scenarios of LinkedTV which have lead to the development of the LinkedCulture and LinkedNews applications, which respectively use the TVEnricher and TVNewsEnricher enrichment services. The original title of this deliverable from the DoW was Advanced concept labelling by complementary Web mining.
LinkedTV Deliverable D1.5 The Editor Tool, final release LinkedTV
This document reports on the design and implementation of the final version of the editor tool (ET) v2.0, where its purpose is to serve the program editing teams of broadcasters that have adopted LinkedTV’s interactive television solution into their workflow. Two of these teams are currently represented in the LinkedTV project, namely the RBB team and the AVROTROS team (formerly known as AVRO).
The main purpose of the ET is to provide a means to correct and curate automatically generated annotations and hyperlinks created by the audiovisual and textual analysis technologies developed in WP 1 and 2 of the LinkedTV project. Without the intervention of human editors to correct this data, there is a reasonable risk of exposing inappropriate, incorrect or irrelevant information to the viewers of a LinkedTV interactive broadcast.
LinkedTV Deliverable D1.4 Visual, text and audio information analysis for hyp...LinkedTV
Having extensively evaluated the performance of the technologies included in the first release of WP1 multimedia analysis tools, using content from the LinkedTV scenarios and by participating in international benchmarking activities, concrete decisions regarding the
appropriateness and the importance of each individual method or combination of methods were made, which, combined with an updated list of information needs for each scenario, led to a new set of analysis requirements that had to be addressed through the release of the final set of analysis techniques of WP1. To this end, coordinated efforts on three directions, including
(a) the improvement of a number of methods in terms of accuracy and time efficiency,
(b) the development of new technologies and (c) the definition of synergies between methods for obtaining new types of information via multimodal processing, resulted in the final bunch of multimedia analysis methods for video hyperlinking. Moreover, the different developed analysis modules have been integrated into a web-based infrastructure, allowing the fully automatic linking of the multitude of WP1 technologies and the overall LinkedTV platform.
LinkedTV D8.6 Market and Product Survey for LinkedTV Services and TechnologyLinkedTV
D8.6 presents the results of the market analysis for LinkedTV products and services and consists of
two parts: an overall analysis of current and future
developments in the TV and digital video market and a specific market analysis of potential LinkedTV customers and competitors. Based on the market analysis it was possible to provide a first rough estimation of the LinkedTV market potential and to position LinkedTV on the market.
LinkedTV Deliverable D6.3 User Trial ResultsLinkedTV
User trials were prepared and conducted in the first quarter of 2014 in order to assess the appropriateness of the innovative functionalities of the second screen demonstrator developed in Y2 of the LinkedTV project. A sample installation of LinkedTV was set up at three different locations: at Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg (RBB), Sound & Vision (S&V), and at the University of St. Gallen (USG). The LinkedTV installation included a TV showing sample content (“main screen”) and an tablet (“second screen”) showing chapters of the program as well as semi-automaticaly acquired additional information about persons, topics and places depicted in the program on the main screen. In total 24 participants took part in the trial at all three locations (9 at RBB, 5 at S&V and 10 at USG). To assess the appropriateness of the LinkedTV features, the trial participants were provided with a “hands-on” opportunity to use the LinkedTV Application and were observed while using the installation. The participants also filled in a questionnaire at the end of the session.
LinkedTV Deliverable D5.6 Final LinkedTV End-to-End PlatformLinkedTV
This Deliverable describes the final LinkedTV End-to-End Platform, which integrates a whole workflow from video ingestion over video analysis, annotated media fragment generation, content enrichment to personalized playout by a dedicated media player.
This deliverable describes the final LinkedTV scenario demonstrators, which have been implemented with the most recent versions of the LinkedTV technology set. The demonstrators use real broadcaster TV programming (news from RBB and cultural heritage from AVRO) and show the benefits of LinkedTV through providing seamless access during the programme to related information and content from the Internet. They also validate the maturity of the LinkedTV technologies which were used to implement the scenario demonstrators.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Editor's Notes
Fragment media assets (since a consumer may be interested in only a part of a larger asset)
Annotate those fragments (so that media retrieval can be at the fragment level)
With Linked Data concepts (so programs can access metadata about any concept in an annotation and have a shared understanding of the semantics of the annotation)
And use the Links in Linked Data to derive Links between Annotated Media.
Space for Editor Tool: automated annotation can be inaccurate, process allows for editor checking and correcting annotations, use of named graphs/LinkedTV Ontology to maintain provenance information between automated and curated annotations in the media metadata
