transLectures (Transcription and Translation of Video Lectures)
is an EU STREP project in which advanced automatic speech
recognition and machine translation techniques are being tested on large
video lecture repositories. The project began in November 2011 and will
run for three years. This paper will outline the project¿s main motivation
and objectives, and give a brief description of the two main repositories
being considered: VideoLectures.NET and poliMedia. The first results
obtained by the UPV group for the poliMedia repository will also be
provided.The research leading to these results has received funding
from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 287755. Funding was also provided by the Spanish Government (iTrans2 project, TIN2009-14511; FPI scholarship BES-2010-033005;
