Summary
The GAMES project will leverage Large Pre-Trained Language Models to build complex media search instructions.

In addition, the generative approach will empower users by nudging them toward interesting, novel and unusual moments that might otherwise be missed.

Description (French)
Le projet GAMES s’appuiera sur de grands modèles de langage préentraînés pour élaborer des instructions de recherche complexes dans les médias. L’interaction entre les utilisateurs et l’application frontale sera simplifiée lorsque le langage naturel sera utilisé à la place des widgets plus traditionnels pour construire les pipelines de recherche et de formatage des médias. En outre, l’approche générative permettra aux utilisateurs d’être plus autonomes en les orientant vers des moments intéressants, nouveaux et inhabituels qu’ils pourraient autrement manquer.
