LaVie (Learning Adapted Video Information Enhancer)

The La Vie project would develop a proof-of-concept system that would provide users with advice on suitable videos for their needs. The key additional components that the project will bring to videolectures are: topic extraction and modeling based on text extracted from associated slides and audio transcriptions. This will ensure that the devised user models can capture semantic level interests of the users. inclusion of the information currently being logged about individual users in the recommender system running live on the videolectures site. visualisation of the developed recommender system. This will provide a topic landscape that will enable users to see the available videos emphasising those likely to be of interest to the user.
