All content providers may be interested by the soccer event detection technology to manage efficiently their content database. When repurposing applications are targeted, these same providers will see an interest in having this module to help automatically detect events of interest.

The soccer event detection module may also be used by end users to manage their own content at home.

• Content structuring & browsing: Knowing where actions of interest are in a soccer match allows structuring of soccer matches. It also gives direct access to events, thus enabling a non linear browsing in the document.
• Content retrieval: By adding additional metadata to contents (ie. timecodes of events), the module finds a direct application in the context of content retrieval in video databases.
• Content repurposing: Knowing where the events are in a soccer match allows to repurpose this content for other broadcasting channels such as the internet or portable devices. In the later case, building summary from the detected events is of interest for sending this new repurposed content to mobile phones.

End-user application, Question-Answering is the easiest way to find information for everybody: ask the question as you want and obtain answers, not snippets or pages.

Search and find precise answers in any collection of texts, from the Web or any other source (voice recognition, optical character recognition, etc.), with eventual correction of the source text, ability to generate questions from generic requests, eventually a single word, ability to find similar questions and their answers, etc.

Monolingual and multilingual Question-Answering system. Languages: English, French (+ Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, with partners using the same API).

The use of automatic speech recognition is so manifold that it is hard to list here. The main usages today are customer interaction via the telephone, healthcare dictation and usage on car navigation systems and smartphones. These applications will with increasingly better technology extend to audio mining, speech translation and an increased use of human computer interaction via speech.

Companies who want to integrate the transcription of human speech into their products.

Speech-to-Text technology is key to indexing multimedia content as it is found in multimedia databases or in video and audio collections on the World Wide Web, and to make it searchable by human queries. In addition, it offers a natural interface for submitting and executing queries.

This technology is further part of speech-translation services. In combination with machine translation technology, it is possible to design machines that take human speech as input and translate it into a new language. This can be used to enable human-to-human combination across the language barrier or to access languages in a cross-lingual way.

Ircamaudiosim allows the development of music recommendation based on music content similarity. It can therefore be used for any system (online or offline) requiring music recommendation, such as for the development of a recommendation engine for online music service or offline music collection browsing.
