Correspondences between frames encode rich information about dynamic content in videos. However, it is challenging to effectively capture and learn those due to their irregular structure and complex dynamics. In this paper, we propose a…
Graph summarization is the problem of producing smaller graph representations of an input graph dataset, in such a way that the smaller compressed graphs capture relevant structural information for downstream tasks. There is a recent graph…
Video captioning aims to automatically generate natural language sentences that can describe the visual contents of a given video. Existing generative models like encoder-decoder frameworks cannot explicitly explore the object-level…
A keyframe summary, or "static storyboard", is a collection of frames from a video designed to summarise its semantic content. Many algorithms have been proposed to extract such summaries automatically. How best to evaluate these outputs is…
