Matching Sounds and Songs

There's a good article over on the NY Times about a search engine for sound files -- Armchair Movie Criticism and Sound Searches. It describes a new site that can match sounds with your queries, and organise them together; this allows you to easily find similar related results. This is interesting for Speech Recognition, as noise and accents can often be an issue. No doubt the name of the file is also used to help, but it sounds like a step in the right direction!

Another related story can be found in the Post Gazette; Undergrad Research Wins Backing. It talks about a student that wants to create an NLP system for a multi-media player. You tell it what to play, and loads the appropriate files into Winamp. I don't know how he got funding, this is nothing new. I seem to remember one of James Matthew's recent projects... with source code!
