Summary: | Video summarization is the process of selecting a subset of informative keyframes to expedite storytelling with limited loss of information. In this paper, we propose an EEG-Video Emotion-based Summarization (EVES) model based on a multimodal deep reinforcement learning (DRL) architecture that leverages neural signals to learn visual interestingness to produce quantitatively and qualitatively better video summaries. As such, EVES does not learn from the expensive human annotations but the multimodal signals. Furthermore, to ensure the temporal alignment and minimize the modality gap between the visual and EEG modalities, we introduce a Time Synchronization Module (TSM) that uses an attention mechanism to transform the EEG representations onto the visual representation space. We evaluate the performance of EVES on the TVSum and SumMe datasets. Based on the rank order statistics benchmarks, the experimental results show that EVES outperforms the unsupervised models and narrows the performance gap with supervised models. Furthermore, the human evaluation scores show that EVES receives a higher rating than the state-of-the-art DRL model DR-DSN by 11.4% on the coherency of the content and 7.4% on the emotion-evoking content. Thus, our work demonstrates the potential of EVES in selecting interesting content that is both coherent and emotion-evoking. |
