In the area of OSINT actionable intelligence can readily be retrieved using our high-end software products. SAIL Labs develops technologies to mine multi-media data and text including the indexing of audio, video and text, automatic speech recognition (ASR), transcriptions in multiple languages, named entity detection as well as topic detection. Our solutions allow content based search in multi-media files, automatic summarization and visualization (GIS, Trend, Cluster, Relationship). SAIL LABS Technology supports commercial applications (e.g., news monitoring, broadcast news transcription and indexing) as well as government applications (e.g., public opinion monitoring, surveillance and intelligence gathering).
SAIL LABS’ personnel has a proven track record in the field of natural language processing, acoustic modeling, language modeling, and speech recognition algorithms. This is complemented by profound skills and knowledge in software development (including design, internationalization and integration of research technology into software products and components), as well as linguistics, mathematics and computer science.
Research on the analysis of cross-media and multi-media data was started as early as 2001 and has since become one of the prime areas of expertise within SAIL LABS.
Together with a global network of partners, we provide comprehensive solutions for vertical markets. Continual innovation at the leading edge of linguistic and IT research drives our vision of creating technologies that enable advanced language understanding capabilities.
Vienna, Austria, March 5, 2010: SAIL LABS Technology today announced the immediate availability of Media Mining Indexer rel. 5.4, the new major release of its flagship product.
The Media Mining Indexer allows users to capitalize on data from video and audio sources by transcribing, translating and indexing it automatically in a variety of languages, such as Arabic, international English (US and UK), French, German, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and Spanish.
Standard Features:
• Automatic Speech Recognition enables accurate conversion of speech to text, even with high levels of background noise
• Speaker Change Detection segregates audio segments based on speaker for focused information retrieval
• Speaker Identification classifies "who" has been saying "what" in the news
• Topic Classification helps locating stories relating to user-specific interests
• Named Entity Detection makes finding relevant information easier by highlighting words within the text output that belong to certain categories (persons, locations, organizations)
New features in this release include:
• API
- Native C-API
- Plain C++ API without use of STL
• Speech Engine
- Multiple sources for enhanced named entity detection (NED)
- Enhanced audio diagnostics
Your benefits from updating to rel. 5.4:
• Improved narrow band processing
• Support for multiple language models
• Direct decoding from MP3
• Improved number detection
• Improved Speaker Identification
"This newest version of Media Mining Indexer represents the results of our ongoing investments in speech technology. It also incorporates the results of several national and EU funded research projects, such as KIRAS, Coast, and Pharos, just to name a few most recent ones. Looking at our ongoing research, we can expect more fantastic releases to be published, among them another major release later this year.
Our current customers will be pleased with the progress and we invite all others to join us on the way into the future.", says Christoph Prinz, CEO.
