Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for neural network based windowed contextual pooling. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes segmenting input feature channels into first and second groups of feature channels. The method also includes applying a first windowed pooling process to the first group of feature channels to generate a first group of pooled feature channels and applying a second windowed pooling process to the second group of feature channels to generate a second group of pooled feature channels. The method further includes performing a weighted merging of the first group of pooled feature channels and the second group of pooled feature channels to generate merged pooled feature channels.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a structured transcription from a speech file. In an example embodiment, a structured transcription system receives a speech file comprising speech from one or more people and generates a navigable structured transcription object. The navigable structured transcription object may comprise one or more data structures representing multimedia content with which a user may navigate and interact via a user interface. Text and/or speech relating to the speech file can be selectively presented to the user (e.g., the text can be presented via a display, and the speech can be aurally presented via a speaker).

Abstract: Highlighting key portions of text within a document is described. A document having text is obtained, and key portions of the document are determined using summarization techniques. Key portion data indicative of the key portions is generated and maintained for output to generate a highlighted document in which highlight overlays are displayed over or proximate the determined key portions of the text within the document. In one or more implementations, reader interactions with the highlighted document are monitored to generate reader feedback data. The reader feedback data may then be combined with the output of the summarization techniques in order to adjust the determined key portions. In some cases, the reader feedback data may also be used to improve the summarization techniques.
