As translation quality is far below the work of professional human translators, machine translation is targeted to situations where instant access and low cost are key and high quality is not demanded, for example:

• Internet search (cross-language document retrieval)
• Internet (on-the-fly translation of foreign-language websites or news feeds)

The targeted users are companies interested in integrating face analysis into their products.

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.

Everyone who has to deal with document classification with a large amount of already classified documents.

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.

All content providers may be interested in the violent scenes detection technology to manage efficiently their content database. In particular, the violent scenes detection technology is an interesting feature for VOD services, as it may help users select a movie suitable for the entire family.

• Content structuring & browsing: Knowing where the most violent scenes are in a movie gives direct access to these events, thus enabling a non linear browsing in the document.
• Content retrieval: By adding additional metadata to contents (i.e., timecodes of violent scenes), the module finds a direct application in the context of content retrieval in videos databases.

Tempo and meter of a music file are among the major perceptual characteristics of a music file. Their automatic estimation allows to get these values for large collections of music files. They can therefore be used to perform automatic music classification of large music collections, search by similarity over large music collections and automatic music play-list generation. The technology can therefore benefit to music providers, online music portals or offline media-player developers.

Beats and downbeats define the time-grid of a music file. They are used as front-end – for the estimation of many other music parameters and – for other processings (time-stretching, segmentation, DJ-ing). The technology for their automatic estimation can therefore benefit to music software developers (music production, music DJ-ing software).
