JUMAS addresses the need to build an infrastructure able to optimise the information workflow in order to facilitate later analysis. New models and techniques for representing and automatically extracting the embedded semantics derived from multiple data sources will be developed. The most important goal of the JUMAS system is to collect, enrich and share multimedia documents annotated with embedded semantic minimising manual transcription activity. JUMAS is tailored at managing situations in which multiple cameras and audio sources are used to record assemblies in which people debates and event sequences need to be semantically reconstructed for future consultations. The prototype of JUMAS will be tested interworking with legacy systems, but the system can be viewed as able to support business processes and problem-solving in a variety of domains.

Cool to see a work that adaptively chooses at inference how much to compress the input speech sequence, to control inference costs and quality based on the input, without enforcing a global trade-off to each segment: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.31247

@FBKZhihangXie : "Speech-XL: Towards Long-Form Speech Understanding in Large Speech Language Models" by Haoqin Sun, @Chenyang_Lyu, Shiwan Zhao, Xuanfan Ni, Xiangyu Kong, @wangly0229, Weihua Luo and Yong Qin
#SpeechLLM #LongFormSpeech #SLU
🚀 New paper: Speech-XL for long-form SpeechLLMs
📄 https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05373
🧩 Uses Speech Summarization Tokens to compress local speech intervals into compact KV states efficiently.
✨ Improves long-form speech understanding while reducing memory and FLOPs on 10-minute audio.
