It was an insightful event to participate in - CCSUBS in Berlin, where we explored key challenges and quality metrics for live subtitling and captioning. This session reinforced the critical need for implementing modern standards in live subtitling, echoing the findings from the NAB meetup. The presentations highlighted the market’s immediate needs for improvement and it was particularly interesting for me to discuss potential hybrid approaches for various live localization tasks. Special thanks to CCSUBS for organizing this impactful event, Fraunhofer FOKUS for their support, and Netflix for their sponsorship. Looking forward to the continued discussion and collaboration. https://lnkd.in/gHFFhZZd

Machine learning's influence permeates every aspect of the broadcast landscape. Tim Jung, CEO at XL8, shares his insights on the profound implications of this impact in the FEED Summer magazine. Q. HOW HAS ML EVOLVED THE MEDIA TECHLANDSCAPEIN THE PAST TEN YEARS? A. "ML comprises algorithms and methodologies which enable software programs to learn from data – either labelled or unlabelled – without requiring explicit programming for specific conditions by human engineers. In contrast, AI is a broader term encompassing systems mimicking human intelligence, including ML and explicitly programmed software. Deep learning – a subset of ML – structures its computational models similarly to how neurons are interconnected in the human brain. The precise distinctions among these terms have become quite blurred recently, particularly to the general public. This is because the recent advancements in deep learning have led to its predominance within the field of ML, and consequently, some people started using the terms interchangeably. Nowadays, the term AI seems to be used more in the marketing space to attract general attention, while ML is used more in the technology space to specifically describe the type of ML algorithms being used. Q. WHAT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES LIE AHEAD FOR ML IN BROADCAST? A. As more processing power is added and more ML models are optimised for real time use cases, we can expect broader adoption of ML algorithms in the broadcasting industry. These applications can range from validation and analysis to production and post-production processes. Real-time broadcasting monitoring offers significant opportunities for censorship compliance, copyright management and delivering personalised ads. Expanding viewership through real-time transcription and translation – along with the integration of sign languages – will greatly enhance accessibility. In the near future, content might be entirely or partially created by ML models in real time, such as generating video streams from radio broadcasts.
