Summary :

In this paper, we address the problem of analyzing topics, included in a social video group, to improve the retrieval performance of videos. Unlike previous methods that focused on an individual visual aspect of videos, the proposed method aims to leverage the “mutual reinforcement” of heterogeneous modalities such as tags and users associated with video on the Internet. To represent multiple types of relationships between each heterogeneous modality, the proposed method constructs three subgraphs: user-tag, video-video, and video-tag graphs. We combine the three types of graphs to obtain a heterogeneous graph. Then the extraction of latent features, i.e., topics, becomes feasible by applying graph-based soft clustering to the heterogeneous graph. By estimating the membership of each grouped cluster for each video, the proposed method defines a new video similarity measure. Since the understanding of video content is enhanced by exploiting latent features obtained from different types of data that complement each other, the performance of visual reranking is improved by the proposed method. Results of experiments on a video dataset that consists of YouTube-8M videos show the effectiveness of the proposed method, which achieves a 24.3% improvement in terms of the mean normalized discounted cumulative gain in a search ranking task compared with the baseline method.
