This paper surveys the first, three-year phase of a project at the National Research Council of Canada that is developing software to assist Indigenous communities in Canada in preserving their languages and extending their use. The project aimed to work within the empowerment paradigm, where collab…
This paper describes a video fingerprinting system that is highly robust to audio and video transformations. The proposed system adapts a robust audio fingerprint extraction approach to video fingerprinting. The audio fingerprinting system converts the spectrogram into binary images, and then encode…
This paper presents the latest improvements on our Spectro system that detects transformed duplicate audio content. We propose a new binary image feature derived from a spectrogram matrix by using a threshold based on the average of the spectral values. We quantize this binary image by applying a ti…
We investigate the use of deep neural nets (DNN) to provide initial speaker change points in a speaker diarization system. The DNN trains states that correspond to the location of the speaker change point (SCP) in the speech segment input to the DNN. We model these different speaker change point loc…
