Media Summarization

摘要

Techniques for summarizing media are described. A viewer-interaction analyzer receives a media file containing media, the media file including a plurality of segments. A segment of the media file is scored based on interactions of a set of raters. Viewer metrics on the segment of the media file are measured based on interactions with the segment of the media file by a set of viewers. A set of feature vectors are formed based on the measured viewer interactions, where feature vectors in the set of feature vectors are based on interactions of the set of viewers. A model is trained based on the set of feature vectors and the score assigned to the segment of the media file. The model is applied to segments of the media file to generate an interest rating for segments of the media file. An edited media file is generated based on segments of the media file having interest ratings that meet a criterion. The Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

主权项

1. At least one computing device comprising:
a data store configured to store media; a processor communicatively coupled to the data store, the processor configured to:
maintain a model indicating which media file segments are likely to be more interesting to media viewers, the model being trained based on user interactions with individual segments of a training set of media files and interest scores assigned by users to the individual segments of the training set of media files, wherein the user interactions comprise a change in viewership during a presentation of one of the individual segments;apply, by the computing device, the model to segments of a current media file to generate interest ratings for the segments, wherein an interest rating for a segment is based on a change in viewership during a presentation of the segment;generate, based on the interest ratings, an edited media file for the current media file, the edited media file including segments of the current media file having interest ratings that meet a threshold criterion; andadd the edited media file to the data store as a summarized version of the current media file.
