Access to recorded interviews: A research agenda

Recorded interviews form a rich basis for scholarly inquiry. Examples include oral histories, community memory projects, and interviews conducted for broadcast media. Emerging technologies offer the potential to radically transform the way in which recorded interviews are made accessible, but this vision will demand substantial investments from a broad range of research communities. This article reviews the present state of practice for making recorded interviews available and the state-of-the-art for key component technologies. A large number of important research issues are identified, and from that set of issues, a coherent research agenda is proposed

Masculinidad y heterodoxia: una mirada desde la literatura decimonónica

This is a summary report about the Cross-Language Spoken Document Retrieval Track held at CLEF 2004. The report gives brief details of CL-SDR task based again this year on the TREC 8-9 SDR task. This year the CL-SDR task worked with an unknown story boundaries condition. The paper reports results from the participants showing that as expected cross-language results are reduced relative to a monolingual baseline, although the amount to which they are degraded varies for topic languages
