ANR OTMedia (2010-2013)

The Transmedia Observatory project, launched in November 2010, aims to develop processes, tools and methods to better understand the challenges and changes in the media sphere. Studying and tracking media events on all media (web, press, radio and television) are the two prioritized research areas. OTMedia brings together six partners: INRIA (ZENITH), AFP (French Press Agency), INA (French National Audiovisual Institute), Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle (researchers in Information Science and Communication), Syllabs (a SME specialized in semantic analysis and automatic creation of text) and the Computer Science Laboratory of Avignon University. ZENITH addresses more specifically the research challenges related to the trans-media tracking of visual contents (images and videos) and the clustering of heterogeneous information sources.
