• Title: Content-based Analysis of the Cultural Differences between TikTok and Douyin
• Authors: Li Sun, Haoqi Zhang, Songyang Zhang, Jiebo Luo
• Abstract summary: Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.

• Abstract: Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years, while being tailored for different markets (e.g. the United States and China). The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research. To that end, we first employ the Faster Regional Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) pre-trained with the Microsoft Common Objects in COntext (MS-COCO) dataset to perform object detection. Based on a suite of objects detected from videos, we perform statistical analysis including label statistics, label similarity, and label-person distribution. We further use the Two-Stream Inflated 3D ConvNet (I3D) pre-trained with the Kinetics dataset to categorize and analyze human actions. By comparing the distributional results of TikTok and Douyin, we uncover a wealth of similarity and contrast between the two closely related video social media platforms along the content dimensions of object quantity, object categories, and human action categories.

  Video recognition is a hot-spot research topic with the explosive growth of multimedia data on the Internet and mobile devices. Most existing methods select the salient frames without awareness of the class-specific saliency scores. We propose a novel Temporal Saliency Query (TSQ) mechanism, which introduces class-specific information to provide fine-grained cues for saliency measurement.

  Analyzing the interactions between humans and objects from a video includes identification of relationships between humans and the objects present in the video. We present a hierarchical approach, LIGHTEN, to learn visual features to effectively capture truth at multiple granularities in a video. We achieve state-of-the-art results in human-object interaction detection (88.9% and 92.6%) and anticipation tasks of CAD-120 and competitive results on image based HOI detection in V-COCO.

  We consider the problem of Human-Object Interaction (HOI) Detection, which aims to locate and recognize HOI instances in the form of human, action, object> in images. We argue that multi-level consistencies among objects, actions and interactions are strong cues for generating semantic representations of rare or previously unseen HOIs. Our model takes visual features of candidate human-object pairs and word embeddings of HOI labels as inputs, maps them into visual-semantic joint embedding space and obtains detection results by measuring their similarities.

  We integrate comprehensive sources of information, including the content of consumer-generated videos, the narrative comment sentences supplied by consumers, and the product attributes, in an end-to-end modeling framework. To tackle this issue, the proposed method consists of two processes, i.e., granular-level interaction modeling and abstraction-level story-line summarization. We collect a large-scale dataset accordingly from real-world data in Taobao, a world-leading e-commerce platform.

  We propose a video question answering model which effectively integrates multi-modal input sources and finds the temporally relevant information to answer questions. Our model is also comprised of dual-level attention (word/object and frame level), multi-head self-cross-integration for different sources (video and dense captions), and which pass more relevant information to gates. We evaluate our model on the challenging TVQA dataset, where each of our model components provides significant gains, and our overall model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin.

• A multi-layer approach to disinformation detection on Twitter [4.663548775064491]
  We employ a multi-layer representation of Twitter diffusion networks, and we compute for each layer a set of global network features. Experimental results with two large-scale datasets, corresponding to diffusion cascades of news shared respectively in the United States and Italy, show that a simple Logistic Regression model is able to classify disinformation vs mainstream networks with high accuracy. We believe that our network-based approach provides useful insights which pave the way to the future development of a system to detect misleading and harmful information spreading on social media.
