Audio Description is a narrated commentary designed to aid vision-impaired
audiences in perceiving key visual elements in a video.
DANTE-AD is an enhanced video description model, leveraging a dual-vision
Transformer-based architecture designed to improve long-term contextual
understanding. This has great potential to open moving image archives and
collections to wider audiences. In this talk, we will hear directly from the
designer of DANTE-AD to discuss the technology and explore this potential from a
computational humanities perspective.
