Visual Subtitle Feature Enhanced Video Outline Generation

With the tremendously increasing number of videos, there is a great demand for techniques that help people quickly navigate to the video segments they are interested in. However, current works on video understanding mainly focus on video content summarization, while little effort has been made to explore the structure of a video. Inspired by textual outline generation, we introduce a novel video understanding task, namely video outline generation (VOG). This task is defined to contain two sub-tasks: (1) first segmenting the video according to the content structure and then (2) generating a heading for each segment. To learn and evaluate VOG, we annotate a 10k+ dataset, called DuVOG. Specifically, we use OCR tools to recognize subtitles of videos. Then annotators are asked to divide subtitles into chapters and title each chapter. In videos, highlighted text tends to be the headline since it is more likely to attract attention. Therefore we propose a Visual Subtitle feature Enhanced video outline generation model (VSENet) which takes as input the textual subtitles together with their visual font sizes and positions. We consider the VOG task as a sequence tagging problem that extracts spans where the headings are located and then rewrites them to form the final outlines. Furthermore, based on the similarity between video outlines and textual outlines, we use a large number of articles with chapter headings to pretrain our model. Experiments on DuVOG show that our model largely outperforms other baseline methods, achieving 77.1 of F1-score for the video segmentation level and 85.0 of ROUGE-L_F0.5 for the headline generation level.
