Abstract
SHAMUS (UFAL Search and Hyperlinking Multimedia System) is a system for an easy search and navigation in multimedia archives. The system consists of a text-based Search, an automatic selection of Anchoring segments and video-based retrieval of Hyperlinks.
The segments of the videos in a collection relevant to the user-typed query are provided by the Search component. The Anchoring component determines the most important segments of the videos.
The beginnings of the most informative segments are marked in each video and the transcription of the beginning of each Anchoring segment is displayed. The segments topically related to each Anchoring segments (the Hyperlinks) are then retrieved.
The list of the segments is generated on the fly for each Anchoring segment. All three system components use Terrier IR Platform.
