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 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 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 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 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 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.
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.

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.

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 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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
