This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised TV programs structuring. Program structuring allows direct and non linear access to the desired parts of a program. Our work addresses the structuring of recurrent TV programs like news, entertainment programs, TV shows, TV magazines... In our previous work [1] we proposed a program structuring method based on the detection of video recurrences. ...

BACKGROUND Television viewing time (TV time) is associated with increased weight and obesity, but it is unclear whether this relation is causal. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated changes in TV time, waist circumference (waist) and body mass index (BMI) in participants of the population-based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study (761 women, 626 men aged 33-50 years in 2011). Waist and BMI w...

UNLABELLED Tulane virus (TV), the prototype of the Recovirus genus in the calicivirus family, was isolated from the stools of rhesus monkeys and can be cultivated in vitro in monkey kidney cells. TV is genetically closely related to the genus Norovirus and recognizes the histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), similarly to human noroviruses (NoVs), making it a valuable surrogate for human NoVs. How...

Eating while watching TV has generally been found to increase both immediate and delayed energy intake. Here we examine two factors - gender and habitual processed-food intake - that may moderate these effects. Participants [n = 153; 95 women, 58 men; Mage = 19.7 (SD = 2.9); MBMI = 22.4 (SD = 3.1)] ate an ad libitum snack either with or without TV, followed around 1 h later by lunch. There was ...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the prognostic value of gross tumor volume (TV) in patients with locally recurrent, nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS Between 2001 and 2012, 291 consecutive patients with locally recurrent, nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma underwent salvage IMRT were retrospectively reviewed. The correlations between TV and recurrent T classification were analyzed....

Social TV is a recent trend that integrates social media access and TV viewing. In this paper, we investigate approaches for building effective language models for a voice-enabled social TV application, where viewers can speak their social media updates while watching TV. We propose to take advantage of social media data, more specifically TV-related Twitter messages (tweets). The challenge is ...

The advent of Digital TV has provided the growth in the volume of TV programs offered by TV operators. Consequently, the difficulty in finding the content the TV viewer wishes in a transparent way among the available TV programs increased. Within this scenario, the recommender systems stand out as a possible solution for this problem. However, the context has rarely been explored during the rec...
