MOSAIC has the objective to develop a prototypical European AI-enhanced platform, serving as a central, scalable hub for broadcasters and news creators, distributors and consumers. The platform will enable the leveraging of knowledge repositories by a sophisticated, multilingual and multimodal AI-based integrated system linking to producers and making use of the abundance and richness of cultural heritage, media and news repositories, whilst providing a source of monetisation from accumulated knowledge repositories. MOSAIC has been designed:
- To enhance the Union’s autonomy in the media domain, addressing these technological challenges, and helping citizens and media professionals with informative content of relevance to citizens.
- To contribute to enhance the EU’s autonomy in the media domain, respond to current technological challenges and opportunities allowing to provide citizens and media professionals with a broader range of informative content.
Mosaic will address these objectives and all priorities by:
- A single, central processing hub for media content creators, distributors and consumers allowing citizens to search informative content provided by public and/or private TV stations and online news and information/content platforms in the consortium’s Member States.
- Mosaic easy-to-connect APIs will provide scalable services to future EU users, such as translated subtitles of news and documentaries in a first version dealing with any combination between 7 European languages, including some low-resourced. This will be done by custom LLM technologies of European origin that will support cross-linguality and zero-shot translation beyond SOTA neural automatic translation.
- The platform will make use of existing resources and provide automated content aggregation, discovery and search, with a recommendation system functioning in line with democratic values, and facilitating Video on Demand streaming, thereby providing a pluralistic view of content (WP3, WP4); and finally,
- To facilitate access to rich and varied informative online content from TV stations and online news and information platforms across Member States and re-use European rich repositories from broadcasters and news agencies. It will open a new opportunity window for commercial monetization of multimodal knowledge and content and establish a technology and content alliance among interested actors in Member States. Mosaic will set the basis to prepare and to harness the potential of new technologies including upcoming augmented reality content and media formats.
MOSAIC is co funded by DIGITAL EUROPE grant no. 479833
