MOVING platform: Videolectures.NET Chapters

VideoLectures.NET is part of the H2020 project MOVING, which has been working on developing new and more effective methods for lecture video fragmentation and fragment-level annotation, to allow for fine-grained access to lecture video collections. In the latest MOVING method, developed by CERTH (also a member, and coordinator of the MOVING consortium), automatically-generated speech transcripts of the lecture video are analysed with the help of word embeddings that are generated from pre-trained state-of-the-art neural networks. This lecture video fragmentation method is part of the MOVING platform, and its results are also being ingested in the VideoLectures.NET platform, making it possible for the users of both platforms to access and view specific fragments of lecture videos that cater to their information needs. For now, the fragments are accessible only for some lectures in VideoLectures.NET (testing phase); see for instance the lecture on deep learning. The fragments are presented as "chapters" to the right of the video player window, and can serve as a tool to find particular video parts easier and faster.
