Co-Regularized Deep Representations for Video Summarization
Compact keyframe-based video summaries are a popular way of generating
viewership on video sharing platforms. Yet, creating relevant and compelling
summaries for arbitrarily long videos with a small number of keyframes is a
challenging task. We propose a comprehensive keyframe-based summarization
framework combining deep convolutional neural networks and restricted Boltzmann
machines. An original co-regularization scheme is used to discover meaningful
subject-scene associations. The resulting multimodal representations are then
used to select highly-relevant keyframes. A comprehensive user study is
conducted comparing our proposed method to a variety of schemes, including the
summarization currently in use by one of the most popular video sharing
websites. The results show that our method consistently outperforms the
baseline schemes for any given amount of keyframes both in terms of
attractiveness and informativeness. The lead is even more significant for
smaller summaries.Comment: Video summarization, deep convolutional neural networks,

Self-Supervised and Controlled Multi-Document Opinion Summarization
We address the problem of unsupervised abstractive summarization of
collections of user generated reviews with self-supervision and control. We
propose a self-supervised setup that considers an individual document as a
target summary for a set of similar documents. This setting makes training
simpler than previous approaches by relying only on standard log-likelihood
loss. We address the problem of hallucinations through the use of control
codes, to steer the generation towards more coherent and relevant
summaries.Finally, we extend the Transformer architecture to allow for multiple
reviews as input. Our benchmarks on two datasets against graph-based and recent
neural abstractive unsupervised models show that our proposed method generates
summaries with a superior quality and relevance.This is confirmed in our human
evaluation which focuses explicitly on the faithfulness of generated summaries
We also provide an ablation study, which shows the importance of the control
setup in controlling hallucinations and achieve high sentiment and topic
alignment of the summaries with the input reviews.Comment: 18 pages including 5 pages appendi
