Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for selection of the best image of a particular speaker's face in a video, and visualization in a diarized transcript. In an example embodiment, candidate images of a face of a detected speaker are extracted from frames of a video identified by a detected face track for the face, and a representative image of the detected speaker's face is selected from the candidate images based on image quality, facial emotion (e.g., using an emotion classifier that generates a happiness score), a size factor (e.g., favoring larger images), and/or penalizing images that appear towards the beginning or end of a face track. As such, each segment of the transcript is presented with the representative image of the speaker who spoke that segment and/or input is accepted changing the representative image associated with each speaker.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating a synopsis video. A system may receive an input video of a first duration and a request to generate a synopsis video of a second duration based on the input video. The system generates a timed text transcription of the input video and divides the timed text transcription into a plurality of sentences. The system then ranks each of the plurality of sentences based on a similarity matrix and selects a subset of the plurality of sentences that includes highest ranked sentences of the plurality of sentences, with the subset having a summed time duration that is less than or equal to the second duration. The system extracts and combines respective clips from the input video that correspond to the selected subset of sentences to generate the synopsis video.

Abstract: Systems and methods for searching, identifying, scoring, and providing access to companion media assets for a primary media asset are disclosed.
