Movie Tags Prediction and Segmentation Using Deep Learning

Abstract

The sheer volume of movies generated these days requires an automated analytics for efficient classification, query-based search, and extraction of desired information. These tasks can only be efficiently performed by a machine learning based algorithm. We address the same issue in this paper by proposing a deep learning based technique for predicting the relevant tags for a movie and segmenting the movie with respect to the predicted tags. We construct a tag vocabulary and create the corresponding dataset in order to train a deep learning model. Subsequently, we propose an efficient shot detection algorithm to find the key frames in the movie. The extracted key frames are analyzed by the deep learning model to predict the top three tags for each frame. The tags are then assigned weighted scores and are filtered to generate a compact set of most relevant tags. This process also generates a corpus which is further used to segment a movie based on a selected tag. We present a rigorous analysis of the segmentation quality with respect to the number of tags selected for the segmentation. Our detailed experiments demonstrate that the proposed technique is not only efficacious in predicting the most relevant tags for a movie, but also in segmenting the movie with respect to the selected tags with a high accuracy.
