From echoes to ecosystems: Transforming sound recordings into knowledge through Artificial Intelligence (Long presentation)
The project, submitted to the National Library of Spain, is an initiative to contextualize the wealth of information compiled in more than 200 Subterfuge Radio podcasts titled "Sympathy for the Music Industry". These podcasts feature interviews with key figures from the Spanish music industry scene, aiming to share their insights, experiences, and outlooks on the recording industry.
Interviewees dissect their roles within this professional landscape, essentially crafting a comprehensive encyclopedia filled with diverse data, including previously undisclosed information. This proves valuable beyond the confines of the interview format. The collection encompasses individuals, events, dates, companies, and statistics, accumulated over more than 200 interviews, each lasting around an hour, that the program has released so far.
This project originates from these audio sources. After converting them into text and employing graph theory alongside ontological analysis principles, it compiles all discussed data into a semantic model. Once processed and interconnected, the narrative's components become navigable on a web platform through interactive visualizations. These visualizations span chronological, geographical, documentary aspects, and the relationships among the elements discussed.
Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the project's two primary phases: the conversion of speech to text, utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, and the recognition and classification of entities.
