The 2nd Workshop on User-Centric Narrative Summarization of Long Videos (NarSUM)
(In conjunction with ACM MM 2023, Ottawa, Canada)
===============================================================================
Workshop website: https://narsum.cf/
With video capture devices becoming widely popular, the amount of
video data generated per day has seen a rapid increase over the past
few years. Browsing through hours of video data to retrieve useful
information is a tedious and boring task. Video Summarization
technology has played a crucial role in addressing this issue. It is a
well-researched topic in the multimedia community. However, the focus
so far has been limited to creating summary to videos which are short
(only a few minutes).
This workshop aims to call for researchers on relevant background to
focus on novel solutions for user-centric narrative summarization of
long videos. Specifically, the goal is to provide the users with
meaningful information and insights from long input videos,
potentially captured from multiple cameras. Since the generated output
of any video summarization task will be finally consumed by humans, it
is also important to have an element of storytelling, where the
resulting summary is presented in the form of a narrative for humans
to understand easily. This workshop will also cover other important
aspects of video summarization research like what is "important" in a
video, how to evaluate the goodness of a created summary, etc.
