Content Structure Discovery in Educational Videos Using Shared Structures in the Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models

چکیده
In this paper, we present an application of the hierarchical HMM for structure discovery in educational videos. The HHMM has recently been extended to accommodate the concept of shared structure, ie: a state might multiply inherit from more than one parents. Utilising the expressiveness of this model, we concentrate on a specific class of video – educational videos – in which the hierarchy of semantic units is simpler and clearly defined in terms of topics and its subunits. We model the hierarchy of topical structures by an HHMM and demonstrate the usefulness of the model in detecting topic transitions.

Unsupervised discovery of multilevel statistical video structures using hierarchical hidden Markov models
Structure elements in a time sequence (e.g. video) are repetitive segments with consistent deterministic or stochastic characteristics. While most existing work in detecting structurs follow a supervised paradigm, we propose a fully unsupervised statistical solution in this paper. We present a unified approach to structure discovery from long video sequences as simultaneously finding the statis...

متن کاملUnsupervised Mining of Statistical Temporal Structures in Video
In this paper, we present algorithms for unsupervised mining of structures in video using multi-scale statistical models. Video structure are repetitive segments in a video stream with consistent statistical characteristics. Such structures can often be interpreted in relation to distinctive semantics, particularly in structured domains like sports. While much work in the literature explores th...
متن کاملFeature Selection and Order Identification for Unsupervised Discovery of Statistical Temporal Structures in Video
We present algorithms for automatic feature selection and model order identification based on our previous solution to unsupervised structure discovery from video sequences. The overall problem is presented as simultaneously finding the statistical descriptions of structure and locating segments that matches the descriptions. Structures in video was modelled with hierarchical hidden Markov mode...
متن کاملFeature selection for unsupervised discovery of statistical temporal structures in video
We present algorithms for automatic feature selection for unsupervised structure discovery from video sequences. Feature selection in this scenario is hard because of the absence of class labels to evaluate against, and the temporal correlation among samples that prevents the direct estimation of posterior probabilities of the cluster given the sequence. The overall problem of structure discove...
