One of the core parts of the MICO project will be the MICO platform, an environment that will allow to analyse “media in context” by orchestrating a set of different analysis components that can work in sequence on content, each adding their bit of additional information to the final result. Analysis components can e.g. be a “language detector” (identifying the language of text or an audio track), a “keyframe extractor” (identifying relevant images from a video), a “face detector” (identifying objects that could be faces), a “face recognizer” (assigning faces to concrete persons), an “entity linker” (assigning objects to concrete entities) or a “disambiguation component” (resolving possible alternatives be choosing the more likely given the context).
