Out-of-the-box strategy for Rich Speech Retrieval @ MediaEval 2011
Wouter Alink, Roberto Cornacchia · 2011
Evaluation tracks offer valuable opportunities to measure scientific and technological advances. Spinque approaches challenges as the MediaEval Rich Speech Recognition task with the additional goal of developing solutions that can easily transferred from academic labs to industry. The sys-tem used during this evaluation was obtained with minimal effort and no manual optimisation and yet it provides a rea-sonably good baseline to improve upon. More importantly, it is by nature an extensible approach, based on the concept of declarative search strategies, rather than an ad-hoc search system. 1.
