We introduce a new benchmarking dataset VISIOCITY which comprises of longer videos across six different categories.

• Abstract: Automatic video summarization is still an unsolved problem due to several challenges. We take steps towards making automatic video summarization more realistic by addressing them. Firstly, the currently available datasets either have very short videos or have few long videos of only a particular type. We introduce a new benchmarking dataset VISIOCITY which comprises of longer videos across six different categories with dense concept annotations capable of supporting different flavors of video summarization and can be used for other vision problems. Secondly, for long videos, human reference summaries are difficult to obtain. We present a novel recipe based on pareto optimality to automatically generate multiple reference summaries from indirect ground truth present in VISIOCITY. We show that these summaries are at par with human summaries. Thirdly, we demonstrate that in the presence of multiple ground truth summaries (due to the highly subjective nature of the task), learning from a single combined ground truth summary using a single loss function is not a good idea. We propose a simple recipe VISIOCITY-SUM to enhance an existing model using a combination of losses and demonstrate that it beats the current state of the art techniques when tested on VISIOCITY. We also show that a single measure to evaluate a summary, as is the current typical practice, falls short. We propose a framework for better quantitative assessment of summary quality which is closer to human judgment than a single measure, say F1. We report the performance of a few representative techniques of video summarization on VISIOCITY assessed using various measures and bring out the limitation of the techniques and/or the assessment mechanism in modeling human judgment and demonstrate the effectiveness of our evaluation framework in doing so.

  We introduce an automated and scalable pipeline for generating a large-scale video summarization dataset.

  We present a modular approach where separate components perform specialized sub-tasks. Our modules involve detecting scene boundaries, reordering scenes so as to minimize the number of cuts between different events, converting visual information to text, summarizing the dialogue in each scene, and fusing the scene summaries into a final summary for the entire episode. We also present a new metric, PRISMA, to measure both precision and recall of generated summaries, which we decompose into atomic facts.

  The aim of video summarization is to shorten videos automatically while retaining the key information necessary to convey the overall story. Video summarization methods rely on visual factors, such as visual consecutiveness and diversity, which may not be sufficient to fully understand the content of the video. A new approach to video summarization is proposed based on insights gained from how humans create ground truth video summaries.

We show that this simple combination of two metrics in the zero-shot achieves higher correlations than existing factuality metrics for document summarization. Our analysis demonstrates the robustness and high correlation of CLIPBERTScore and its components on four factuality metric-evaluation benchmarks.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.
