Instead of clustering video shots into scenes using low level image features, in this paper, we propose a rule-based model to extract simple dialog or action scenes. Through analyzing video editing rules and observing temporal appearance patterns of shots in dialog scenes of movies, we deduce a set of rules to recognize dialog or action scenes. Based on these rules, a finite state machine is de...

We explore insertion/deletion systems as underlying systems in a continuation of work on insertion systems. The main result states that insertion and deletion rules with contexts of length one and insertions / deletions of size ...
