ReTV – Trending topic prediction and dynamic re-purposing of TV media assets to optimally reach audiences

Über den Vortrag

In the ReTV project, we develop a media content re-purposing and online publication tool which uses prediction to suggest topics and events to focus the future online promotion of an organization’s media assets on. The tool guides the creation of a publication at an optimal time, with the automatic re-purposing of the media asset to fit the channel, to maximise the content’s potential reach and engagement.
