00:03 Hello. My name is just balsa and this is a short video to

00:09 you an idea about my research. research is in the context of a

00:15 called Video points First. I'll get why we decided to go into this

00:24 of research as you all know. is a growing as a technology to

00:31 and sometimes replace live lecture. So is extremely important, especially now as

00:37 instructional tool or an instructional medium. the most important shortcoming of the video

00:44 is that it's extremely difficult to quickly to the content that interests you the

00:51 to your question in a video. we've done a lot of work on

00:57 various uh tools and methods to make essentially what I call an interactive learning

01:10 . So now I'm going to show few screenshots from this system. You

01:15 have see this demo of the system at this that site called Video points

01:22 org. And this is something that being used quite a bit at the

01:27 of Houston. So one of the interesting things Video points does is called

01:33 . So here you see the length the timeline of of a lecture video

01:39 is an hour plus and it's been up into this subsection and each one

01:46 um um a subtopic within that And for each of these segments there

01:55 a frame called the summary frame. is currently is highlighting the summary frame

02:01 believe for this segment, but it be another one and the summary frame

02:05 of the keywords that are the most for that video as well as a

02:11 of representative images? So that's segmentation summarization. Another interesting feature of the

02:21 is multi model search where we can a search term here. The system

02:29 show all these parts of the video the search has a match. The

02:35 of matches is captured by this white green bar and the matches are also

02:41 on the transcript of the audio for video and here are some examples of

02:50 . There is also support for This uh image is showing this usage

02:57 in terms of the number of duration , number of accesses. So it's

03:02 for an instructor to track how students using a lecture video. I'm going

03:09 give one or two example research challenges terms of what goes under the hood

03:16 make all of this possible. So central challenge is how to automatically divide

03:21 lecture video into segments where each segment a subtopic. We could look at

03:28 if the a section of video has images, it is likely to be

03:35 the same or similar topics. we could look at the text on

03:39 screen or speech and see the patterns the change of vocabulary in there.

03:45 might give us an idea of where topics are the same and where our

03:50 changes. So a related problem is . Now I have a video

03:56 I want a single frame summary of segment. So one part of the

04:02 could be key words. But then do I find out these keywords?

04:05 can look at the frequency of I can look at feel important.

04:10 words for example, like python or have a special meaning in computer science

04:16 if that's a factor and I could look at on size, location on

04:20 and whatnot and the challenges to how we put all these together to get

04:24 best keywords? I also want to the best images to represent a lecture

04:31 segment and there again, what constitutes best image? I could look at

04:37 size time on the screen complexity and on as well as uh, we

04:43 to look at the similarity between images a good summary is not repetitive.

04:48 image is unique and represent something. this gives you an idea at a

04:53 level of the challenges and the underlying . We have to do tax

04:59 speech analysis, image analysis to work user interfaces as well as do service

05:06 see the real world impact of this research. And this also involves by

05:12 way, what's commonly known as artificial and machine learning, which is a

05:18 of analysis we are talking about. we have projects for all levels of

05:24 as I mentioned earlier, you can out more about the system at video

05:29 dot org and for everything else, contact me and we can have a

05:35 and see if this is an area research that is of interest to

05:41 So that concludes this
