Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| This paper, describes our experience with the creation, indexing and providing access to a very large archive of videotaped oral histories—116,000 hours of digitized interviews in 32 languages from 52,000 survivors, liberators, rescuers and witnesses of the Nazi Holocaust— and identifies a set of critical research issues in user requirement studies, automatic speech recognition, automatic classification, segmentation, and summarization, retrieval, and user interfaces that must be addressed if we are to provide full and detailed access to collections of this size. | |||||||||||||||||
