To help you illustrate your content more easily and quickly, Nudgis has an A.I. help function that allows you to automate certain tasks under your control. In this section, we'll explore the possibilities offered by this feature.

A.I. enrichment functions

To access the A.I. enrichment options for your media, simply press the corresponding button above the player :

  To access this feature, the user must have editing rights to the media  

A window will open, offering you four options (three for Gladia, which does not have questionnaire generation) :

You can generate a title for your video, a description based on the content, create automated keywords, and finally, generate a questionnaire extracted from your presentation. You can choose one or more options. Once you have made your selection, click on ‘Generate data’ to launch the task:

A ‘X task running’ button will appear next to the I.A. enrichment button. Clicking on it will display a progress window:

Once the task has been completed, you will be warned and offered the chance to reload the page to see the changes made:

  Remember to save your current changes before reloading the page  

When the page is reloaded, the options added by the A.I. are applied. In our example, there is a new title and a questionnaire at the end of the video:

Auto-generated questionnaires can be edited directly, either in terms of their content, their conditions, or their temporal placement in the video. Generally speaking, all the options generated by the A.I. can be modified manually afterwards. To find out more about questionnaires in Nudgis, see the article ‘Nudgis media activities’.

  Gladia does not allow the creation of questionnaires

The description is also present:

The keywords are not directly visible, but they are automatically extracted, and searchable from the site's search bar:

The language applied to A.I. processing of your content is that of your video. If no language has been set in the media or the channel that hosts it, then the site's default language will be selected

Keywords can be edited in the Edit mode of your media, in the ‘Settings’ tab. In the ‘Main metadata’ section, you'll find a function for adding and deleting keywords. Here you will find those automatically extracted by the A.I. :

You can modify the entries at will to create your own customised keywords from the suggestion generated by the A.I.

Enriching media uploads

If you can enrich your existing media using the A.I. integrated to Nudgis, you can also do so when you upload media to the portal. To do this, click on ‘Create’, then ‘Upload’:

A page will open allowing you to import one or more videos simultaneously:

Once your media has been added to the queue, you can choose to enrich it using A.I. :

When you select the language, an icon indicates whether A.I. enrichment is supported  

Selecting this option will give you the same choices as in the previous chapter:

Once you have completed your settings, press ‘Upload files’ to send your media to Nudgis. An enrichment task will be applied to each video:

Once the task has been completed, the chosen content options are generated by the A.I. :

The enrichment task when the video is uploaded is not available for WebStudio and the ‘Advanced’ function in ‘Create’ mode. It will have to be launched from the media page after submission, unless the enrichment task is automated for all incoming content

Administration settings

The administration settings for the A.I. service can be accessed from the Site Administration panel, in the ‘Site settings’ section, ‘Automatic subtitling and A.I.’ tab. :

Your account must have the right to ‘Manage the subtitling service’ in its ‘Global permissions’. To find out more about the rights and permissions of user accounts, please see the article ‘Managing permissions’

This is where you can choose and configure the subtitling and A.I. services that the site will use. The features Nudgis offers are Authot, a subtitling service, and Aristote or Gladia, which both allow subtitling and the use of A.I. :

We won't go into setting subtitling services here, but you can find out more about the subject in the article ‘Subtitles in Nudgis’. 

The A.I. service can be set for the site from the tab corresponding to the chosen provider. In the following, we will differentiate between the configuration and operation of Aristote and Gladia.

Aristote is a totally independent provider, made available by Nudgis, but not maintained by UbiCast teams. Below, we will look at the configuration controls available, as well as possible support tools for this service. In the Aristote tab, you can enter the identifiers for the service, change the languages allowed, as well as requesting that every data communicated to the provider is deleted once the job is completed :

You can also configure the behaviour of certain elements of the request sent to Aristote. The "Long running job timeout" is used to set a time (expressed in hours) beyond which the task is considered to have failed at the provider.  It is important to leave enough time to avoid the failure of long-running tasks (long-running media, large number of simultaneous requests to the provider, etc.). We recommend that you do not set a delay of less than 12h. If the configured delay is exceeded, the task will display the status “Failed”.

In addition, the "Callback timeout" authorizes the setting of a period of time (expressed in seconds) after which Nudgis will automatically trigger a callback to the provider if, for whatever reason, it has not been sent on one of the stages of the request. This ensures that the task doesn't get stuck at the provider's end, even though the required step has been completed. Thanks to the automatic callback, you can be sure that the task will go through to the end of the process, whether it succeeds or fails, and that you will receive the corresponding information in the task status.

These last two features are available from Nudgis 13.1.3 and higher

In any case, the status and evolution of each request to Aristote will be reflected in the corresponding task on your media:

You also have access to the job ID at the service provider, since, as mentioned above, UbiCast does not provide support for Aristote. If an incident occurs with Aristote, it's up to the administrator team to contact the A.I. service provider to resolve the situation. Thanks to the task identifier, Aristote support will be able to easily identify the problematic request, and assist you as best as possible in resolving the issue. To put you in touch with the provider, the support email is available on the Aristote configuration page:

Just above, you will also find a link allowing you to request an API key for the service, as well as its terms of use. Finally, just below, you will find a link enabling you to configure the default channel and media behaviour for the site. Clicking on it takes you to the page below:

This page can also be accessed from the Administration panel, ‘Media and channels default setting’ tab, ‘Subtitling and A.I.’ sub-tab. Here you can configure the default behaviour of these services. The A.I. settings are at the bottom of the page:

In this way, you can automate the generation of a title, description, questionnaire and/or keywords for all media entering the site.

If you wish to modify the behaviour chosen for an individual channel, you will find the same possibilities in the editing settings for that channel:

You can change the behaviour of the service for media uploaded in this specific channel, while those uploaded elsewhere will adopt the site's default behaviour (or the behaviour of the target channel if its settings are different). Every channel can be set individually.

Whether it's the site's default behaviour or that set in a channel, if A.I. enrichment is automated, all new media will be affected, including those produced with WebStudio or uploaded using the ‘Advanced’ function in ‘Create’ mode

The configuration of Gladia, the other A.I. service offered by Nudgis, is quite similar and broadly follows the same rules, but it is not possible to modify the Long-running job and Callback timeouts, nor is the task identifier available in the Tasks status. This is due to the fact that, unlike Aristote, UbiCast provides support for this service, whether for subtitling or A.I. You will, however, be able to choose/modify the transcription/translation languages, and to activate the request for data deletion at the provider's once the job is completed. A link to the general A.I. behaviour described above is also available.

A.I. enrichment in Nudgis is now completely under your control, and you can test its extensive possibilities. Improve your content automatically and save time with A.I.!
