The TOSCA-MP project aimed to develop user-centric content annotation and search tools for professionals in networked media production and archiving (television, radio, online), addressing their specific use cases and workflow requirements. The project brought together 10 partners from 6 European countries including industry partners providing solutions for the media industry, public service broadcasters as well as their European association, a university and research centres. TOSCA-MP investigated scalable and distributed content processing methods performing advanced multimodal information extraction and semantic enrichment. Other key technology areas included search methods across heterogeneous networked content repositories and novel user interfaces. An open standards based service oriented framework integrated the components of the system.

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

Our pick of the week by
@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.
