Structuring a collection of news shows requires some level of semantic understanding of the content in order to segment shows into their successive stories and to create links between stories in the collection, or between stories and related resources on the Web. Spoken material embedded in videos, accessible by means of automatic speech recognition, is a key feature to semantic description of video contents. We have developed multimedia content analysis technology combining automatic speech recognition, natural language processing and information retrieval to automatically create a fully navigable news portal from a collection of video files.

In 2013, we extended the Texmix demonstration to include transcript-free summarization using word discovery.
