Crim's content-based audio copy detection system for TRECVID 2009
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report results on audio copy detection for TRECVID 2009 copy detection task. This task involves searching for transformed audio queries in over 385 hours of test audio. The queries were transformed in seven different ways, three of them involved mixing unrelated speech to the original query, making it a much more difficult task. We give results with two different audio fingerprints and show that mapping each test frame to the nearest query frame (nearest-neighbor fingerprint) results in robust audio copy detection. The most difficult task in TRECVID 2009 was to detect audio copies using predetermined thresholds computed from 2008 data. We show that the nearest-neighbor fingerprints were robust to even this task and gave actual minimal normalized detection cost rate (NDCR) of around 0.06 for all the transformations. These results are close to those obtained by using the optimal threshold for each transform. This result shows the robustness of the nearest-neighbor fingerprints. These nearest-neighbor fingerprints can be efficiently computed on a graphics processing unit, leading to a very fast search.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
