Motivated by the grand challenge to endow computers with human-level abilities for multimodal and multisensory information processing, COGNIMUSE undertakes basic research in modeling multisensory and sensory-semantic integration via a synergy between system theory, computational algorithms and experimental research on human cognition. The project focuses on integrating three modalities (audio, vision and text) at both the signal and semantics level for detecting salient perceptual events in hollywood movies. The objective is the creation of a movie-trailer generation algorithm which will incorporate salient events of the movie as indicated through the integration of linguistic and perceptual information and its experimental validation through cognitive experiments on saliency with high level (complex) stimuli.
