• Title: FastPerson: Enhancing Video Learning through Effective Video Summarization that Preserves Linguistic and Visual Contexts
• Authors: Kazuki Kawamura, Jun Rekimoto,
• Abstract summary: We propose FastPerson, a video summarization approach that considers both the visual and auditory information in lecture videos. FastPerson creates summary videos by utilizing audio transcriptions along with on-screen images and text. It reduces viewing time by 53% at the same level of comprehension as that when using traditional video playback methods.

• Abstract: Quickly understanding lengthy lecture videos is essential for learners with limited time and interest in various topics to improve their learning efficiency. To this end, video summarization has been actively researched to enable users to view only important scenes from a video. However, these studies focus on either the visual or audio information of a video and extract important segments in the video. Therefore, there is a risk of missing important information when both the teacher's speech and visual information on the blackboard or slides are important, such as in a lecture video. To tackle this issue, we propose FastPerson, a video summarization approach that considers both the visual and auditory information in lecture videos. FastPerson creates summary videos by utilizing audio transcriptions along with on-screen images and text, minimizing the risk of overlooking crucial information for learners. Further, it provides a feature that allows learners to switch between the summary and original videos for each chapter of the video, enabling them to adjust the pace of learning based on their interests and level of understanding. We conducted an evaluation with 40 participants to assess the effectiveness of our method and confirmed that it reduced viewing time by 53\% at the same level of comprehension as that when using traditional video playback methods.

  We address the problem of video scene recognition, whose goal is to learn a high-level video representation to classify scenes in videos. Most existing works identify scenes for videos only from visual or textual information in a temporal perspective. We propose a novel two-stream framework to model video representations from multiple perspectives.

  We propose verbalizing long videos to generate descriptions in natural language, then performing video-understanding tasks on the generated story as opposed to the original video. Our method, despite being zero-shot, achieves significantly better results than supervised baselines for video understanding. To alleviate a lack of story understanding benchmarks, we publicly release the first dataset on a crucial task in computational social science on persuasion strategy identification.

  We introduce the novel task of visual narration detection, which entails determining whether a narration is visually depicted by the actions in the video. We propose What You Say is What You Show (WYS2), a method that leverages multi-modal cues and pseudo-labeling to learn to detect visual narrations with only weakly labeled data. Our model successfully detects visual narrations in in-the-wild videos, outperforming strong baselines, and we demonstrate its impact for state-of-the-art summarization and temporal alignment of instructional videos.
