Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for music-aware speaker diarization. In an example embodiment, one or more audio classifiers detect speech and music independently of each other, which facilitates detecting regions in an audio track that contain music but do not contain speech. These music-only regions are compared to the transcript, and any transcription and speakers that overlap in time with the music-only regions are removed from the transcript. In some embodiments, rather than having the transcript display the text from this detected music, a visual representation of the audio waveform is included in the corresponding regions of the transcript.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for face-aware speaker diarization. In an example embodiment, an audio-only speaker diarization technique is applied to generate an audio-only speaker diarization of a video, an audio-visual speaker diarization technique is applied to generate a face-aware speaker diarization of the video, and the audio-only speaker diarization is refined using the face-aware speaker diarization to generate a hybrid speaker diarization that links detected faces to detected voices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for identifying candidate boundaries for video segments, video segment selection using those boundaries, and text-based video editing of video segments selected via transcript interactions. In an example implementation, boundaries of detected sentences and words are extracted from a transcript, the boundaries are retimed into an adjacent speech gap to a location where voice or audio activity is a minimum, and the resulting boundaries are stored as candidate boundaries for video segments. As such, a transcript interface presents the transcript, interprets input selecting transcript text as an instruction to select a video segment with corresponding boundaries selected from the candidate boundaries, and interprets commands that are traditionally thought of as text-based operations (e.g., cut, copy, paste) as an instruction to perform a corresponding video editing operation using the selected video segment.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a snap point segmentation that defines the locations of selection snap points for a selection of video segments. Candidate snap points are determined from boundaries of feature ranges of the video indicating when instances of detected features are present in the video. In some embodiments, candidate snap point separations are penalized for being separated by less than a minimum duration corresponding to a minimum pixel separation between consecutive snap points on a video timeline. The snap point segmentation is computed by solving a shortest path problem through a graph that models different snap point locations and separations. When a user clicks or taps on the video timeline and drags, a selection snaps to the snap points defined by the snap point segmentation. In some embodiments, the snap points are displayed during a drag operation and disappear when the drag operation is released.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to segmentation and hierarchical clustering of video. In an example implementation, a video is ingested to generate a multi-level hierarchical segmentation of the video. In some embodiments, the finest level identifies a smallest interaction unit of the video—semantically defined video segments of unequal duration called clip atoms. Clip atom boundaries are detected in various ways. For example, speech boundaries are detected from audio of the video, and scene boundaries are detected from video frames of the video. The detected boundaries are used to define the clip atoms, which are hierarchically clustered to form a multi-level hierarchical representation of the video. In some cases, the hierarchical segmentation identifies a static, pre-computed, hierarchical set of video segments, where each level of the hierarchical segmentation identifies a complete set (i.e., covering the entire range of the video) of disjoint (i.e.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to techniques for interacting with a hierarchical video segmentation using a metadata panel with a composite list of video metadata. The composite list is segmented into selectable metadata segments at locations corresponding to boundaries of video segments defined by a hierarchical segmentation. In some embodiments, the finest level of a hierarchical segmentation identifies the smallest interaction unit of a video—semantically defined video segments of unequal duration called clip atoms, and higher levels cluster the clip atoms into coarser sets of video segments. One or more metadata segments can be selected in various ways, such as by clicking or tapping on a metadata segment or by performing a metadata search. When a metadata segment is selected, a corresponding video segment is emphasized on the video timeline, a playback cursor is moved to the first video frame of the video segment, and the first video frame is presented.

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.
