Transcription-based video genre classification
Stanislas Oger, Mickaël Rouvier, Georges Linarès · 2010
In this paper, we present a new method for video genre identification based on the linguistic content analysis. This approach relies on the analysis of the most frequent words in the video transcriptions provided by an automatic speech recognition system. Experiments are conducted on a corpus composed of cartoons, movies, news, commercials, documentary, sport and music. On this 7-genre identification task, the proposed transcription-based method obtains up to 80% of correct identification. Finally, this rate is increased to 95% by combining the proposed linguistic-level features with low-level acoustic features.
