From Semantically Annotated Media To Video Documentaries Stefano Bocconi CWI Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Talk Outline Motivation Example Scenarios Technical details – Annotations – Editing Process Conclusions Talk Outline

Philips, Case Study Subject: the opinion of American people after 9-11 Shooting: from to in Stamford (CT), New York (NY), Boston (MA) and Cleveland (OH) Editing: approximately 3 months

Philips, The problems Only one final version: what do we show? Who is pro and who is against? What are the numbers? Biased versus objective trade-off: a choice must be made

Philips, Authoring Documentaries Traditional video editing: there is only one final version, what is shown is the choice of the author/editor Proposed video authoring: ● Annotate the video material semantics ● Show automatically what the user asks to see, using presentation forms a film editor would use

Philips, Example “I am never a fan of military action, in the big picture I don’t think it is ever a good thing, but I think there are circumstances in which I certainly can’t think of a more effective way to counter this sort of thing

Claim Concession Claim contradict support Claim I am not a fan of military actions War has never solved anything Two billions dollar bombs on tents I cannot think of a more effective solution weaken Analysis of the Example

Scenarios Vox Populi: Augmenting one interview with man- on-the-street opinion Overview of the content of video footage: ● Example: trailers ● Browse the content by opinion Voices of Iraq

Philips, What question was asked Who answered (social categories) Filmic (e.g. location/time/framing/gaze) Possible query: show me all the answers to question “what do you think of the war in Afghanistan” given by black men Descriptive Annotations

Statements formally annotated: – – E.g. “war best solution” A thesaurus containing: – Terms (155) – Relations between terms: similar (72), opposite (108), generalization (10), specialization (10) – E.g. war opposite diplomacy Annotations: 1 hour annotated, 15 interviews, 60 interview segments, 120 statements Rhetorical Annotations

ClaimData Qualifier WarrantBackingConditionConcession 57 Claims, 16 Data, 4 Concessions, 3 Warrants, 1 Condition Toulmin Model

Using the thesaurus, generate related statements and query the repository – E.g. from “war best solution” “diplomacy best solution”, “war not solution” Create a graph of related statements – Nodes are the statements (video segments), edges are either support or contradict The Generation Process

Partially tunable: examining the Segment graph gives feedback on the quality of the annotations and the thesaurus The annotator can revise the annotations in a guided manner S1 S2 S3 S5 S4 S7 S6 S8 S9 S10 = support = contradict The Semantic Graph

Video documentaries are not neutral account of reality: the selection and editing of the footage expresses a point of view Editing strategy: Balanced, Pro opinion X and Against opinion X Vox Populi uses: – Logos (the statements) – Ethos (based on user profile) – Film editing (framing, transitions, counterpoint editing) Controlling Bias

Vox Populi automatically presents video interviews augmented with supporting and/or contradicting material The user can determine the subject and the bias of the presentation Extensive annotations are needed Conclusions This presentation and a Demo available at:

Philips, Discussion

Philips, Issues Advantages Reuse the reasoning of the humans, no need for a very complex system like Cyc Disadvantages Extensive annotation is needed Need for a knowledge base Validation User studies? Mimicking the reality

This presentation and a Demo available at: This research was funded by the Dutch national ToKeN2000 I 2 RP and CHIME projects.

Philips, Using the Pathos How and what emotions can we use to persuade? Cognitive structure of emotions (Ortony) The expressions for happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise, anger and fear are culture-, gender- and age independent (Ekman & Friesen) Open Documentary PROPRO AGAINSTAGAINST

The annotations Descriptive – Question asked – Interviewee (social) – Filmic (e.g. location/time/framing/gaze) Rhetorical – Rhetorical Statement (mostly verbal, but visual also possible) – Argumentation model: Toulmin model Annotations

Philips, Rhetorical Tools According to Aristotle, rhetoric is "the ability, in each particular case, to see the available means of persuasion” Three main forms of rhetoric: ● Ethos: appeal based on the character of the speaker. ● Logos: appeal based on logic or reason. ● Pathos: appeal based on emotion.
