Retrieving related TV news reports and newspaper articles

Using TV newscasts and newspaper together can enable more effective communication. TV newscasts typically report events clearly and intuitively with speech and image information, but without much detail. In contrast, newspapers usually report the same events in greater detail but primarily use text information. However, using TV newscasts and newspapers together without aligning the newspaper articles with the TV news reports is difficult. To solve this problem, we propose an alignment method that extracts text from TV captions and newspaper articles. We also propose a method for extracting a newspaper article and its follow-up articles. With these methods, we´ve developed a system for browsing and retrieving newspaper articles and TV news reports
