SUMMA: Scalable Understanding of Multilingual Media

SUMMA is a 3-year, multi-partner Research and Innovation Action
(2/2016–1/2019), funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020
Framework Programme. The project’s aim is to develop a highly
scalable open-source software platform for monitoring live TV and
radio broadcasts as well as internet-based content (text, video, and
audio), and ingesting said content into a database of news reporting.
This extended abstract briefly describes the SUMMA Platform’s
functionality, architecture, and use cases.
