Introduction:

Video:

 Video data is great asset for information extraction and knowledge discovery.
 Due to its size and variability, it is extremely hard for users to monitor.

Video Summarization:

 Intelligent video summarization algorithms allow us to quickly browse a lengthy video by


capturing the essence and removing redundant information.

Applications:
The application of video summarization can be divided into three main categories:

1) Consumer Video Applications


2) Browsing the recorded content
3) View the interesting parts quickly

Limitations:

 Loss of information
 Computationally expensive
 Evaluate the performance of a video summarizer
 No single video summarizer fits all users

Query-Conditioned Three-Player Adversarial Network for Video Summarization BMBC 2018

Video summarization plays an important role in video understanding by selecting key frames/shots.
Traditionally, it aims to find the most representative and diverse contents in a video as short
summaries. In this paper, Author propose a query-conditioned three-player generative adversarial
network to tackle this challenge. The generates or learns the joint representation of the user query
and the video content, and the discriminator takes three pairs of query-conditioned summaries as
the input to discriminate the real summary from a generated and a random one.
