First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of targeting one or more digital media for a spoken topic understanding application, comprising:
- receiving one or more selection criteria;
performing a top-down criterion recognition of the digital media using the selection criteria as a starting point;
recognizing spoken words in the digital media in context of each selection criteria; and
identifying a first set of the digital media relevant to the selection criteria.

Abstract
Systems and methods for automated analysis and targeting of digital media based upon spoken topic or criterion recognition of the digital media are provided. Pre-specified criteria are used as the starting point for a top-down topic or criterion recognition approach. Individual words used in the audio track of the digital media are recognized only in context of each candidate topic or criterion hypothesis, thus yielding greater accuracy than two-step approaches that first transcribe speech and then recognize topic based upon the transcription.

15. A method of targeting one or more digital media for a spoken topic understanding advertising application, comprising:
-
receiving one or more advertising criteria; generating a broad criterion set from the advertising criteria and pre-sorting the one or more digital media to the broad criterion set; generating candidate criterion hypotheses at a finer granularity by using topically or demographically relevant query terms, wherein topically or demographically relevant query terms are obtained using metadata or inference on proprietary or publicly available ontologies; classifying the one or more digital media at the finer granularity; recognizing spoken words in the digital media in context of each advertising criteria; and identifying a first set of the digital media for advertisement insertion. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for targeting digital media based upon spoken criteria recognition of the digital media, comprising:
-
a communications module configured to receive one or more target criteria; a model generation module configured to perform a top-down criterion recognition of the digital media using the target criteria as a starting point; and an analyzer module configured to recognize spoken words in the digital media in context of each target criteria, wherein the system identifies a first set of the digital media relevant to the target criteria based upon the analysis. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
