Australia's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Centre of Excellence NICTA (National ICT Australia) has announced that it is collaborating with Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) to develop technology to improve the performance of online video search engines.
With new research funding from Microsoft Research Asia, NICTA will investigate a hierarchical approach to video search which will map action words from video titles and transcripts to action segments within the video. The NICTA team will develop algorithms and prototype software and test them using Microsoft's video metadata.
This is reportedly the first such project between Microsoft Research Asia and NICTA. It will see close collaboration between the researchers in the MSRA Computing group led by Dr Shipeng Li and a team of NICTA researchers led by Dr Jian Zhang.
