  • Patent number: 10885344
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for generating a video. The method may include: determining a commentary of a target news cluster, each piece of news in the target news cluster being specific to a given news event; generating a voice corresponding to each paragraph in the commentary using a speech synthesis technology; determining a candidate material resource set corresponding to the commentary based on a video and an image included in the target news cluster, the candidate material resource being a video or image; determining a candidate material resource sequence corresponding to the each paragraph in the commentary; and generating a video corresponding to the commentary based on the voice corresponding to the each paragraph in the commentary and the candidate material resource sequence.

  • Patent number: 10878247
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for generating information. The method may include: determining at least one video segment obtained by semantically segmenting videos included in a target news cluster as a target video set, where respective pieces of news in the target news cluster directs to a given news event; determining a commentary for the target news cluster; determining, based on the target video set and a target image set, a candidate material resource set corresponding to the commentary, where the target image set is composed of respective images included in the target news cluster; and for each paragraph in the commentary, determining degrees of matching between the paragraph and candidate material resources in the candidate material resource set.

  • Patent number: 10699127
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting a parameter are provided. The method may include: acquiring a current value of at least one parameter which is in a process of generating a video corresponding to a commentary of the news cluster based on a news cluster; determining a video evaluation score of the video which is generated based on the news cluster and according to the current value of the at least one parameter; performing feature extraction on the current value of the at least one parameter to obtain a feature representation; inputting the feature representation and the determined video evaluation score into a pre-trained evaluation network to obtain a predicted video evaluation score; inputting the feature representation and the predicted video evaluation score into a pre-trained operation network, to obtain current operation information; and adjusting the current value of the at least one parameter based on the current operation information.
