Video is the only medium that is capable of capturing the complete spectrum of human communication including: gestures, tone, facial expressions, and so on. By its nature, video carries more meaning than can be narrowed down into a few lines of text. Thanks to its unique underlying pattern matching technology combined with video and audio analytics, IDOL is able to extract meaning from all data files and to form a conceptual and contextual understanding of the entire data set. Because the value of information can only be extracted once it is processed, Autonomy Virage unlocks the value hidden in video and audio files. When computers “understand” information, they can start to automatically process it and begin to bring information to the user rather than the other way round. Through understanding, computers can automatically create taxonomies, alert users to new and relevant information as it becomes available in real-time or automatically profile an individual’s interests based on what they read and write, offer them interesting information without the need to search, or connect them with people with similar interests. Understanding the concepts within data allows computers to cluster information, identifying inherent themes or groups of conceptually similar information. In addition, by using this approach, it is possible to detect irregularities in everyday scenes for security purposes, identify well-known speakers in broadcast media and analyze conversations to detect positive or negative sentiment.
