Video Highlights Detection and Summarization with Lag-Calibration based on Concept-Emotion Mapping of Crowdsourced Time-Sync Comments
Qing Ping, Chaomei Chen · 2017
With the prevalence of video sharing, there are increasing demands for automatic video digestion such as highlight detection.Recently, platforms with crowdsourced time-sync video comments have emerged worldwide, providing a good opportunity for highlight detection.However, this task is non-trivial: (1) time-sync comments often lag behind their corresponding shot; (2) time-sync comments are semantically sparse and noisy; (3) to determine which shots are highlights is highly subjective.The present paper aims to tackle these challenges by proposing a framework that (1) uses concept-mapped lexical-chains for lagcalibration; (2) models video highlights based on comment intensity and combination of emotion and concept concentration of each shot; (3) summarize each detected highlight using improved SumBasic with emotion and concept mapping.Experiments on large real-world datasets show that our highlight detection method and summarization method both outperform other benchmarks with considerable margins.
