ABSTRACT:: 
This paper presents a new model for multiple
media stream data analysis as well as descriptions of some
applications of this model in development at Dartmouth College.  This
model formalizes the exploitation of correlations between multiple,
potentially heterogeneous, media streams in support of numerous
application areas.  The goal of the technique is to determine temporal
and spatial alignments which optimize a correlation function and
indicate commonality and synchronization between media streams.  It
also provides a framework for comparison of media in unrelated
domains.  Applications such as text-to-speech alignment, functional
magnetic resonance imaging, speaker localization, and degraded media
realignment are described.
