We describe an approach to Machine Translation of transcribed speech, as found in closed captions. We discuss how the colloquial nature and input format peculiarities of closed captions are dealt with in a pre-processing pipeline that prepares the input for effective processing by a core MT system. In particular, we describe components for proper name recognition and input segmentation. We eval...

As a fine-grained video understanding task, dense video captioning involves first localizing events in a video and then generating captions for the identified events. We present the Joint Event Detection and Description Network (JEDDi-Net) that solves the dense captioning task in an end-to-end fashion. Our model continuously encodes the input video stream with three-dimensional convolutional la...

We investigate the impact of captions on deaf and hearing perception of multimedia video clips. We measure perception using a parameter called Quality of Perception (QoP), which encompasses not only a user's satisfaction with multimedia clips, but also his/her ability to perceive, synthesise and analyse the informational content of such presentations. By studying perceptual diversity, it is our...

Our MARIE project has been investigating information retrieval of multimedia data using a new idea: putting primary emphasis on caption processing. Although content analysis methods such as substring searching for text media and shape matching for picture media can obviate captions, content analysis usually requires unacceptably-large amounts of time at retrieval time. Captions can be cachings ...

Figure 1. Convergence factors for various discretizations of the Laplacian (Case 1). The lines show smoothing factors of optimally weighted point Jacobi (solid line), line Jacobi (dashes), and unweighted point RB (alternating dashes). The symbols correspond to numerical calculations using V(1,0) cycles with point Jacobi (), line Jacobi (+), and point RB (2), and also two-level (1,0) cycles usin...

Closed captions in television broadcasts, intended to aid the hearing impaired, also have potential as training data for speech-recognition software. Use of closed captions for automatic extraction of virtually unlimited training data has already been demonstrated [1]. This paper reports some preliminary work on the use of non-speech sound tokens included in closed captions to extract training ...

Closed captioning has been enabling access to television for people who are deaf and hard of hearing since the early 1970s. Since that time, technology and people’s demands have been steadily improving and increasing. Closed captioning has not kept up with these changes. We present the results of a study that used graphics, colour, icons and animation as well as text, emotive captions, to captu...
