• Authors: Minho Shim, Taeoh Kim, Jinhyung Kim, Dongyoon Wee
• Abstract summary: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is acknowledged for its robustness and flexibility to multiple downstream tasks. We claim an unsupervised autoencoder with sufficient self-supervised learning does not need any extra downstream architecture design or fine-tuning weights to be utilized as a video summarization model. We evaluate the method in major unsupervised video summarization benchmarks to show its effectiveness under various experimental settings.

• Abstract: Summarizing a video requires a diverse understanding of the video, ranging from recognizing scenes to evaluating how much each frame is essential enough to be selected as a summary. Self-supervised learning (SSL) is acknowledged for its robustness and flexibility to multiple downstream tasks, but the video SSL has not shown its value for dense understanding tasks like video summarization. We claim an unsupervised autoencoder with sufficient self-supervised learning does not need any extra downstream architecture design or fine-tuning weights to be utilized as a video summarization model. The proposed method to evaluate the importance score of each frame takes advantage of the reconstruction score of the autoencoder's decoder. We evaluate the method in major unsupervised video summarization benchmarks to show its effectiveness under various experimental settings.

  Video summarization aims to select the most informative subset of frames in a video to facilitate efficient video browsing. We propose three metrics featuring a desirable key frame: local dissimilarity, global consistency, and uniqueness. We show that by refining the pre-trained features with a lightweight contrastively learned projection module, the frame-level importance scores can be further improved.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.
