DESCRIPTION:The AMI project is about interpreting human communication usin
 g  \naudio\, video and other signals\, in the context of multiparty  \nmee
 tings.  This is an interdisciplinary problem involving signal  \nprocessin
 g and machine learning (how to make sense of multimodal  \ncommunication s
 cenes)\, understanding the content of the recognised  \nsignals\, and deve
 loping useful applications.\n\nIn this talk I shall discuss some of the wo
 rk we have been doing to  \nautomatically annotated and interpret multimod
 al meeting recordings.\nSpecific issues that I'll discuss include the use 
 of multistream  \nstatistical models to segment meetings at different leve
 ls (dialogue  \nacts and ``meeting actions'') and approaches to meeting su
 mmarisation.\n
