• Abstract: With the exponential growth of video content, the need for automated video highlight detection to extract key moments or highlights from lengthy videos has become increasingly pressing. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance user experiences by allowing quick access to relevant content across diverse domains. Existing methods typically rely either on expensive manually labeled frame-level annotations, or on a large external dataset of videos for weak supervision through category information. To overcome this, we focus on unsupervised video highlight detection, eliminating the need for manual annotations. We propose an innovative unsupervised approach which capitalizes on the premise that significant moments tend to recur across multiple videos of the similar category in both audio and visual modalities. Surprisingly, audio remains under-explored, especially in unsupervised algorithms, despite its potential to detect key moments. Through a clustering technique, we identify pseudo-categories of videos and compute audio pseudo-highlight scores for each video by measuring the similarities of audio features among audio clips of all the videos within each pseudo-category. Similarly, we also compute visual pseudo-highlight scores for each video using visual features. Subsequently, we combine audio and visual pseudo-highlights to create the audio-visual pseudo ground-truth highlight of each video for training an audio-visual highlight detection network. Extensive experiments and ablation studies on three highlight detection benchmarks showcase the superior performance of our method over prior work.

  We present results from two experiments: efficacy study of single features on the task, and an ablation study where we leave one feature out at a time. For the video summarization task, our results indicate that the visual features carry most information, and including audiovisual features improves over visual-only information. Results indicate that we can transfer knowledge from the video summarization task to a model trained specifically for the task of highlight detection.

  A new problem, named audio-visual video parsing, aims to parse a video into temporal event segments and label them as audible, visible, or both. We propose a novel hybrid attention network to explore unimodal and cross-modal temporal contexts simultaneously. Experimental results show that the challenging audio-visual video parsing can be achieved even with only video-level weak labels.

We achieve state of the art results for emotion recognition and competitive results for speech recognition.
