video by the people (who) and locations (where) appearing
in the footage as well as the time (when) of news events. The
people names, locations, and time expressions are recognized
from video transcript and their ambiguous references are
resolved. As a key advantage, 3WNews distinguishes the
people and locations that actually appear in the video from
those merely mentioned in the transcript, and uses them as
(better) indexes for browsing. It also supports browsing of
news video by event time instead of broadcasting time.
