The ACLD: Speech-based Just-in-Time Retrieval of Multimedia Documents and Websites

The Automatic Content Linking Device (ACLD) is a just-in-time retrieval system that monitors an ongoing conversation or a monologue and enriches it with potentially related documents, including transcripts of past meetings, from local repositories or from the Internet. The linked content is displayed in real-time to the participants in the conversation, or to users watching a recorded conversation or talk. The system can be demonstrated in both settings, using real-time automatic speech recognition (ASR) or replaying offline ASR, via a flexible user interface that displays results and provides access to the content of past meetings and documents.
