WORKSHOP AIM AND TOPICS




The aim of the DataTV 2019 workshop will be to address the increasing importance and relevance of richly granular and semantically expressive data about TV content in the media value chain. Such data needs extraction, modelling and management before it can be meaningfully reused in new, innovative services for TV content such as:

  • - Content Summarization (e.g. to provide highlights of a program according to a specific user, theme or channel)
  • - Recommendation and Scheduling across Publication Channels (Broadcast, Streaming, Social Networks)
  • - In Stream Personalisation of Content (both spatial and temporal modification of text, audio, video)
  • - The workshop will solicit latest research and development in all areas of data creation and management for TV content and aims to support the growth of a community of researchers and practitioners interested in data value for personalised TV

Topics for the workshop include:
  • - Curation of this data throughout the media value chain, e.g. use of the MPEG Value Chain Ontology
  • - Matching of TV content data with user profiles for recommendation or personalisation (respecting data privacy and security)
  • - Tools and services for the composition of personalised TV, including object based media, making use of TV content data (e.g. creation of video summaries or alternative content versions, recommendation of auxiliary assets for delivery alongside TV content, dynamic insertion or modification of media in streams)



CALL FOR PAPERS




DataTV 2019 foresees two types of submission, full papers which will have an oral presentation at the workshop and short papers which may be presented as either a poster or a demo at the workshop:

  • - Full papers (7 000-9 000 words in New SIGCHI Proceedings Format with 150 word abstract) describing original research, to be presented in the oral session, which covers at least one of the workshop topics. We expect papers to show data-driven solutions which are completed or close to completion.
  • - Short papers (3 500-5 500 words in New SIGCHI Proceedings Format with 150 word abstract) describing works in progress or demos, to be included in the poster and demo session. Please specifically provide links to the work that will be presented and outline in the short paper why this is relevant to the topic of Data-driven TV as well as identify if the submission is for a poster or a demo to be shown at the workshop. We expect new concepts and early work-in-progress to be reported here.

Keynote talk abstracts:

Speaker 1: Matthew Brooks, BBC R&D
StoryFormer is a cloud-based tool for creating responsive stories, built by BBC Research & Development. Responsive storytelling uses an object-based media approach that allows the contents of a programme to change according to the requirements of each viewer. StoryFormer aims to enable anyone with an idea for a responsive story to be able to create it quickly and easily, without the need for coding. In this session, you'll learn about the principles behind StoryFormer, and the potential it has to bring meaningful interactivity and personalisation to media experiences.

Speaker 2: Lyndon Nixon, MODUL Technology
The ReTV project is building a platform that aggregates data about TV programming in order to give functionality to media organizations that optimises the reach of their future content publications. In this keynote, we briefly consider the potential for future TV when we can offer dynamic adaptation of media streams to insert content personalized to the viewer, automatic recommendation of the most relevant programming in broadcaster archives or schedules as well as video summarization emphasizing the topics of most interest to the audience.
