”We want to record our entire life by video” is the motivation of this research. Recently developing wearable devices and huge storage devices will make it possible to keep entire life by video. We could capture 70 years of our life, however, the problem is how to handle such a huge data. Automatic summarization based on personal interest should be required. In this paper we propose an approach...

1 report on an empirical approach to expert summarizing, emphasizing the qualitative modeling methods that shaped the system. In the framework of model-based knowledge engineering, the empirical grounded theory of summarizing is subsequently transferred to a small simulation system called SimSum (Simulation of Summarizing). SimSum shows that an empirical design of summarizing system is feasible...
