Overview:

Videos have become an omnipresent source of knowledge: courses, presentations,
conferences, documentaries, livestreams, meeting recordings, vlogs. This has 
created a
strong demand for transcript understanding. However, the quality of audio and 
video
content shared online and the nature of speech, video transcripts pose many 
challenges to
the existing natural language processing technologies.

At the First workshop on Transcript Understanding (TU@COLING2022), we aim to 
bring
together researchers from various domains to make the best of the knowledge 
that all these
videos contain. Researchers from related domains are invited to paper on recent 
advanced
technologies, resources, tools, and challenges for Transcript Understanding.

Topics:

The TU workshop holds a research track and a shared task track. The research 
track aims to
explore recent advances and remaining challenges on video transcript 
understanding. As
this topic is a multi-modal subject, researchers from artificial intelligence, 
computer
vision, speech processing, natural language processing, data mining, 
statistics, and other
fields are invited to submit papers on recent advances, resources, tools, 
challenges for
video transcript understanding. To this end, the topics of the workshop include 
but are
not limited to the following:

- Fundamental processing for video transcript, such as punctuation restoration, 
chunking,
parsing, and named entity recognition.
- Subtitle segmentation
- Text summarization and keyword extraction for transcripts
- Event extraction, intent detection, and slot filling
- Sentiment analysis for speech text processing
- Noisy text processing
- Fact-checking, evidence extraction
- Question-Answering extraction from transcripts
- Automatic Speech Recognition, and related system such as speaker 
identification and
filler word detection
- Multi-modal, multilingual video-speech-text processing
