Multimodal interactions for multimedia content analysis

In this paper, we are presenting a model for multimodal con-tent analysis. We are distinguishing between media and modality, which helps us to define and to characterize 3 inter-modal relations. Then we are applying this model for recorded course analysis for e-learning. Different useful re-lations between modalities are explained and detailed for this application. We are also describing on two other ap-plications: telemonitoring and minute meetings. Then we compare the use of multimodality in these applications with existing inter-modal relations. 1
