This paper describes the Arabic Multi-Genre Broadcast (MGB-2) Challenge for SLT-2016. Unlike last year’s English MGB Challenge, which focused on recognition of diverse TV genres, this year, the challenge has an emphasis on handling the diversity in dialect in Arabic speech. Audio data comes from 19 distinct programmes from the Aljazeera Arabic TV channel between March 2005 and December 2015. Pr...

This paper presents the results of a study of dynamic parallel media processing using Speculative Broadcast Loop (SBL), a speculative run-time loop-level parallelization method. Due to processing regularity, multimedia applications typically contain extensive parallelism. Data parallelism between independent loop iterations may be supported by subword parallelism methods, but much of the data p...

www.grassvalley.com Choices for a playout solution have usually fallen between implementing a traditional automation system that links together a complex collection of many devices from different providers, or a basic single-channel box consisting of a standard PC with cards. There is now a viable alternative that brings a file-based, networked, and scalable approach to the task of well managed...

In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source node wishes to broadcast two confidential messages for two respective receivers, while a wire-tapper also receives the transmitted signal. This model is motivated by wireless communications, where individual secure messages are broadcast over open media and can be received by any illegitimate receiver. The secrecy level is measured by equivoc...

As a new mass media, network media has influenced the history of with its two-way interaction information, multimedia communication and extensive public participation. Modern provides ordinary people opportunity to express themselves. Network broadcast popular performance situation for female group. Although on surface, it shows liberation women’s thoughts, discourse power independent conscious...

This paper explores issues relating to the use of broadcast media such as speech and gesture for interacting with non-human (i.e. application) objects in collaborative virtual environments. These issues arise from a recognition that broadcast media such as these are inherently social in nature and that, in order to join in such media, an object should possess a degree of social awareness. Put i...

This paper addresses the patterns of influence between the news media and the public, by specifically targeting breaking stories, or shocks, to a news system. Specifically, we assess media agenda setting and selective exposure by looking at the relative public attention spans to hard and soft news (as measured by query volume), in comparison with the volume of news coverage (in print, broadcast...

In this research, we analyze the pattern of conversation resulting from second screen interactions. Second screen refers to the phenomenon of people simultaneously engaged with more than one computer technologies. Specifically, we examine people’s social media conversations while watching TV shows, both live and previously recorded. In our work, we analyze the user’s social media conversation p...

The Media Broadcast industry has evolved from Serial Digital Interface (SDI) based infrastructures to IP networks. While video broadcast is well established in the data plane, use of networks transport media flows still poses challenges terms resource management and orchestration. SDN orchestration architectures have emerged that route a service across provider network. Several approaches multi...

This paper examines the influence of news credibility on corporate image broadcast media in Nigeria. The was anchored preliminary assumption that a relationship exists between disseminated and how public perceives it. Source Credibility Theory Perception were used as its theoretical framework. A Survey 375 respondents, eventual outcome distributed 400 copies questionnaire provided evidence conf...
