TrentinoMedia: Exploiting NLP and Background Knowledge to Browse a Large Multimedia News Store

TRENTINOMEDIA provides access to a large and daily updated repository of multimedia news in the Trentino Province. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are used to automatically extract knowledge from news, which is then integrated with background knowledge from (Semantic) Web resources and exploited to enable two interaction mechanisms that ease information access: entity-based search and contextualized semantic enrichment. TRENTINOMEDIA is a real multimodal archive of public knowledge in Trentino and shows the potential of linking knowledge and multimedia and applying NLP on a large scale.
