The increasing amount of online videos brings several opportunities for training self-supervised neural networks. The creation of large scale datasets of videos such as the YouTube-8M allows us to deal with this large amount of data in…
The relationship between content production and consumption on algorithm-driven platforms like YouTube plays a critical role in shaping ideological behaviors. While prior work has largely focused on user behavior and algorithmic…
Vision videos are established for soliciting feedback and stimulating discussions in requirements engineering (RE) practices, such as focus groups. Different researchers motivated the transfer of these benefits into crowd-based RE (CrowdRE)…
Video description is the automatic generation of natural language sentences that describe the contents of a given video. It has applications in human-robot interaction, helping the visually impaired and video subtitling. The past few years…
Misinformation on YouTube is a significant concern, necessitating robust detection strategies. In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology for video classification, focusing on the veracity of the content. We convert the conventional…
User beliefs about algorithmic systems are constantly co-produced through user interaction and the complex socio-technical systems that generate recommendations. Identifying these beliefs is crucial because they influence how users interact…
The recent advance in vision-language models is largely attributed to the abundance of image-text data. We aim to replicate this success for video-language models, but there simply is not enough human-curated video-text data available. We…
Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is the field of study related to analyze opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions of users which they express on social media and other online resources. The revolution of social media…
Automatic transcriptions of consumer-generated multi-media content such as "Youtube" videos still exhibit high word error rates. Such data typically occupies a very broad domain, has been recorded in challenging conditions, with cheap…
The h-index can be a useful metric for evaluating a person's output of Internet media. Here we advocate and demonstrate adaption of the h-index and the g-index to the top video content creators on YouTube. The h-index for Internet video…
People increasingly use videos on the Web as a source for learning. To support this way of learning, researchers and developers are continuously developing tools, proposing guidelines, analyzing data, and conducting experiments. However, it…
As teenagers increasingly turn to social media for health-related information, understanding the values of teen-targeted content has become important. Although videos on healthy lifestyles and self-improvement are gaining popularity on…
In video recommendation, a critical component that determines the system's recommendation accuracy is the watch-time prediction module, since how long a user watches a video directly reflects personalized preferences. One of the key…
Sentiment analysis using big data from YouTube videos metadata can be conducted to analyze public opinions on various political figures who represent political parties. This is possible because YouTube has become one of the platforms for…
The paper provides a survey of the development of machine-learning techniques for video analysis. The survey provides a summary of the most popular deep learning methods used for human activity recognition. We discuss how popular…
We address the problem of action detection in videos. Driven by the latest progress in object detection from 2D images, we build action models using rich feature hierarchies derived from shape and kinematic cues. We incorporate appearance…
More and more people, especially females, create and view beauty videos covering topics like makeup tutorials and vlogs on social media platforms. Understanding the communication strategies that creators use in these videos and how they…
Learning text-video embeddings usually requires a dataset of video clips with manually provided captions. However, such datasets are expensive and time consuming to create and therefore difficult to obtain on a large scale. In this work, we…
Video classification problem has been studied many years. The success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in image recognition tasks gives a powerful incentive for researchers to create more advanced video classification approaches. As…
YouTube is widely used for informal learning, where learners explore lectures and tutorials without a predefined curriculum. However, learning across videos remains fragmented: learners must decide what to watch, how videos relate, and how…
