The scope of AMI project research is large, encompassing studies of social interaction and human behavior on the one hand and the most advanced image and speech processing algorithms and search techniques on the other.

Some of the research underway in the AMI project lends itself to visual or aural representation. On this site we provide description of showcase and, in some cases access, to movies captured or sites/web pages developed to illustrate the research.

Hierarchy of showcase

AMI research core building blocks reside in one of three areas: Audio/Speech Processing, Still and Moving Image Processing and the development of Standards and Tools for research and development.

Based on these components, some demonstrations illustrate the research underway which spans multi-modal inputs and treats the meeting as an integrated source of knowledge and information.

In order to interact and use the meeting data and metadata, several computer-human interface paradigms are being explored. These are grouped together as demonstrations of integrated systems for meeting interactivity.

Beyond descriptions and movies

To more fully understand the way a user might benefit from a particular technology, one needs to experience an interactive demonstration. Interactive demonstrations can be arranged with the most appropriate scientist or groups at AMI research facilities on an appointment basis. Many research initiatives are cross institutional. Contact AMI Technology Transfer for assistance. We will assist you to identify the AMI scientist or group best placed to answer your questions and to schedule an appointment.

Evaluations of run time demonstrators are also available in some cases or can be developed to meet the needs of specific projects. For more information on evaluations.
