Abstract

News videos delivered from different sources constitute a huge volume of daily information. These videos, overall, form a huge collection of news stories that are intertwined with various novel and old topic themes. To date, it remains a challenging task on how to automatically extract a concise view of news stories according to topic themes. This doctoral thesis studies the issues in story dependency threading and topical auto-documentary in news stories. Initially, a co-clustering algorithm is proposed to perform the news story clustering by exploiting the duality between stories and multi-modal concepts. Then, the novelty and redundancy detection is performed to capture the relationship among stories of a topic. To facilitate the fast navigation of news topic, a novel topic structure is then proposed to chains the dependencies of stories. A main thread is extracted to highlight the important aspects of a theme. A news video editing optimization algorithm can be directly applied to automatically select suitable video and speech contents from the original video source to create an edited video documentary.
