• Abstract summary: We conduct a large-scale data-driven analysis of Kuaishou, one of the largest short-form video platforms in China. Based on 248 million videos uploaded to the platform across all categories, we identify their notable differences from long-form video platforms. We find that videos are shortened by multiples on Kuaishou, with distinctive categorical distributions over-represented by life-related rather than interest-based videos.

• Abstract: The emerging short-form video platforms have been growing tremendously and become one of the leading social media recently. Although the expanded popularity of these platforms has attracted increasing research attention, there has been a lack of understanding of whether and how they deviate from traditional long-form video-sharing platforms such as YouTube and Bilibili. To address this, we conduct a large-scale data-driven analysis of Kuaishou, one of the largest short-form video platforms in China. Based on 248 million videos uploaded to the platform across all categories, we identify their notable differences from long-form video platforms through a comparison study with Bilibili, a leading long-form video platform in China. We find that videos are shortened by multiples on Kuaishou, with distinctive categorical distributions over-represented by life-related rather than interest-based videos. Users interact with videos less per view, but top videos can even more effectively acquire users' collective attention. More importantly, ordinary content creators have higher probabilities of producing hit videos. Our results shed light on the uniqueness of short-form video platforms and pave the way for future research and design for better short-form video ecology.

• Video Generation Beyond a Single Clip [76.5306434379088]
  Video generation models can only generate video clips that are relatively short compared with the length of real videos. To generate long videos covering diverse content and multiple events, we propose to use additional guidance to control the video generation process. The proposed approach is complementary to existing efforts on video generation, which focus on generating realistic video within a fixed time window.

  This study explores differences in video production across 27 co-active channels on YouTube and BitChute. We find that the majority of channels use significantly more moral and political words in their video titles on BitChute than in their video titles on YouTube. In some cases, we find that channels produce videos on different sets of topics across the platforms, often producing content on BitChute that would likely be moderated on YouTube.
