The document discusses AXES, a European Commission-funded project that develops tools for interacting with audiovisual archives. AXES allows users to discover, browse, navigate and enrich archives using weakly supervised, metadata-independent techniques based on video segment and keyframe analysis. It is designed for archivists, academics, journalists and home users to reuse, research and explore archive content through visual search and retrieval of speech, speakers, faces, places, objects and events. The document outlines AXES research features and demo system and previews future plans to improve search capabilities and availability.
