The 1st Workshop on User-Centric Narrative Summarization of Long Videos (NarSUM)
(In conjunction with ACM MM 2022, Oct 10-14, 2022, Lisbon, Portugal)
===============================================================================
Workshop website: https://narsum.cf/

With video capture devices becoming widely popular, the amount of video data generated per day has seen a rapid increase over the past few years. Browsing through hours of video data to retrieve useful information is a tedious and boring task. Video Summarization technology has played a crucial role in addressing this issue. It is a well-researched topic in the multimedia community. However, the focus so far has been limited to creating summary to videos which are short (only a few minutes).

This workshop aims to call for researchers on relevant background to focus on novel solutions for user-centric narrative summarization of long videos. Specifically, the goal is to provide the users with meaningful information and insights from long input videos, potentially captured from multiple cameras. Since the generated output of any video summarization task will be finally consumed by humans, it is also important to have an element of storytelling, where the resulting summary is presented in the form of a narrative for humans to understand easily. This workshop will also cover other important aspects of video summarization research like what is "important" in a video, how to evaluate the goodness of a created summary, etc.
