Title: Audiovisual Linking: Scenarios, Approaches and Evaluation
Presenter: Roeland Ordelman, University of Twente, Twente,
Netherlands.
Abstract: The concept of (hyper)linking, well-known in the text do-
main, has been inspiring researchers and practitioners in the audiovi-
sual domain since many years. In this talk, an overview of a number
of use scenarios that can benefit from audiovisual linking is given,
some approaches that have been proposed over the last few years are
presented and the evaluation of audiovisual linking is discussed.
