Automatic subtitling of television content has become an approachable challenge due to the advancement of the technology involved. In addition, it has also become a priority need for many Spanish TV broadcasters, who will have to broadcast up to 90% of subtitled content by 2013 to comply with recently approved national audiovisual policies. APyCA, the prototype system described in this paper, has been developed in an attempt to automate the process of subtitling television content in Spanish through the application of state-of-the-art speech and language technologies. Voice activity detection, automatic speech recognition and alignment, discourse segment detection and speaker diarization have proved to be useful to generate time-coded colour-assigned draft transcriptions for post-editing. The productive benefit of the followed approach heavily depends on the performance of the speech recognition module, which achieves reasonable results on clean read speech but degrades as this becomes more noisy and/or spontaneous.

A novel method for blind separation of digital signals based on elitist genetic algorithms is presented in this paper. Contrast function, consisting in a weighted sum of high order statistics measures (cumulants of different orders), plays the role of genetic fitness function, and also guide the genetic algorithm by a Gauss-Newton adaptation applied to the genetic population, that reduces the search space and provide faster convergence rate. The use of elitism assures the convergence of the algorithm. Several experiments were conducted on digital signals and mixing models, and the high amount of simulations derived from them provided the best combination of the constant parameters in terms of separation accuracy and convergence rate. In this sense, we also achieve a robust blind source separation method that efficiently adapts to the statistical nature of the mixing signals, within a low population of the genetic algorithm.
Since the world presents a dynamically changing environment, we need synthetic systems that can process and respond to motion. The main contribution of this work is the efficient implementation of a biologically inspi...
