Summarization of Video Clips using Subtitles

Abstract

Due to the ever growing world of high speed internet, videos have become a common medium for information on the web. When we want to gain information about anything from educational topics to entertainment we prefer watching videos instead of reading long paragraphs. With the vast diversity of videos available on the internet today on every single topic possible it gets confusing to find the right content for our needs. People end up wasting time on trying to find a good video instead of on the actual work the video is needed for. Video content being such a big part of our information source today it is necessary to have a system that will enable users to understand a gist of the video instead of having to sit through hours of content just to find nothing useful. The primary objective of this given paper is to propose a method to create a video summary in a way that it contains only the necessary and important information in a concise format by using various NLP algorithms such as Textrank, LexRank and LSA(Latent Semantic Analysis).
