Broadcasters, Monitoring and News Agencies all acknowledge media files contain valuable information, which is difficult to unlock without extensive teams of personnel to review and catalogue the media. This is a time consuming and expensive task. With XENTAURIX "Smart Media" this valuable information is automatically unlocked using Artificial Intelligence (AI) generating a wide range of smart metadata enabling advanced search capabilities and content recognition of faces, persons, objects, locations, styles, sound, speech transcription, brands, sport events, audience reactions and much more by using advanced machine learning with our partner Valossa (Oulu, Finland). "The co-operation with Valossa, now enables XENTAURIX AI to automatically detect a wide range of advanced "Smart Media" attributes without the need for large teams of personnel to catalog their media. With XentauriX AI and Valossa, the number of media monitoring personnel is significantly reduced, enabling media monitoring personnel to focus on the automated detection results to catalogue their media rather than scanning each second of footage. This technological approach will save XENTAURIX customers significant personnel staffing budgets with greater operational efficiencies and allow media expansion with a well defined linear financial metric, thereby allowing more media to be processed with reduced personnel", states Thomas Hoffmann, Managing Director of artec technologies AG. XENTAURIX AI integrates closely with Valossa to provide "Smart Media" intelligence results quickly and efficiently, whilst combining these results with XentauriX metadata, ensuring the XentauriX AI search engine is enriched to provide a rich data source of company wide media intelligence. "Our collaboration with XENTAURIX delivers significant value add to media industry by making video production more manageable, and enabling new ways for digital content monetization. Valossa AI delivers superhuman cognitive capabilities for content screening tasks, and this power can now be harnessed to good use via XENTAURIX platform.", says Valossa CEO Mika Rautiainen. artec technologies presents the new technology at the International Broadcast Exhibition IBC 2018 in Amsterdam, booth B16, hall 7, September 14-18, 2018 About XENTAURIX AI platform Customers use the XENTAURIX cloud platform to systematically evaluate their audiovisual information material from a wide variety of sources, including TV, radio, streaming services and social media. For this purpose, various cognitive analysis tools - so-called engines - are available to users, which will be expanded in the future by the use of deep learning and artificial intelligence programmes. These cognitive engines accelerate meaningful data collection that enables industry experts to stay competitive with real-time intelligence and powerful applications, both now and in the future. In addition to its own artec engines, the platform is also open to third parties in order to offer customers maximum added value and the greatest possible flexibility from a data analysis. The XENTAURIX Cloud's current and future applications include: audience ratings and sentiment, audio and video fingerprinting analysis, face and object recognition, translation of a wide range of languages, and fake news recognition.
