Behavioral profiling for adaptive video summarization: From generalization to personalization.

In today's world of managing multimedia content, dealing with the amount of CCTV footage poses challenges related to storage, accessibility and efficient navigation. To tackle these issues, we suggest an encompassing technique, for summarizing videos that merges machine-learning techniques with user engagement. Our methodology consists of two phases, each bringing improvements to video summarization. In Phase I we introduce a method for summarizing videos based on keyframe detection and behavioral analysis. By utilizing technologies like YOLOv5 for object recognition, Deep SORT for object tracking, and Single Shot Detector (SSD) for creating video summaries. In Phase II we present a User Interest Based Video summarization system driven by machine learning. By incorporating user preferences into the summarization process we enhance techniques with personalized content curation. Leveraging tools such as NLTK, OpenCV, TensorFlow, and the EfficientDET model enables our system to generate customized video summaries tailored to preferences. This innovative approach not only enhances user interactions but also efficiently handles the overwhelming amount of video data on digital platforms. By combining these two methodologies we make progress in applying machine learning techniques while offering a solution to the complex challenges presented by managing multimedia data.

Multimodal Abstractive Summarization using bidirectional encoder representations from transformers with attention mechanism.

In recent decades, abstractive text summarization using multimodal input has attracted many researchers due to the capability of gathering information from various sources to create a concise summary. However, the existing methodologies based on multimodal summarization provide only a summary for the short videos and poor results for the lengthy videos. To address the aforementioned issues, this research presented the Multimodal Abstractive Summarization using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (MAS-BERT) with an attention mechanism. The purpose of the video summarization is to increase the speed of searching for a large collection of videos so that the users can quickly decide whether the video is relevant or not by reading the summary. Initially, the data is obtained from the publicly available How2 dataset and is encoded using the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) encoder and the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) encoder. The textual data which is embedded in the embedding layer is encoded using a bidirectional GRU encoder and the features with audio and video data are encoded with LSTM encoder. After this, BERT based attention mechanism is used to combine the modalities and finally, the BI-GRU based decoder is used for summarizing the multimodalities. The results obtained through the experiments that show the proposed MAS-BERT has achieved a better result of 60.2 for Rouge-1 whereas, the existing Decoder-only Multimodal Transformer (D-MmT) and the Factorized Multimodal Transformer based Decoder Only Language model (FLORAL) has achieved 49.58 and 56.89 respectively. Our work facilitates users by providing better contextual information and user experience and would help video-sharing platforms for customer retention by allowing users to search for relevant videos by looking at its summary.
