Instead of just collecting and making them available in a raw form (as social platforms like YouTube), we automatically generate semantically coherent summarizations of the entire event. The individual consuming user gets thus a compact view generated by a large number of producing users. We call this idea the "Vision of Crowds". A case study has been conducted at a social event where we used user-generated content to automatically generate live reports about that event. Furthermore, we have implemented a GUI that allows users to interactively compose personalized video summaries, based on the user-generated data collected at the case study.}, language = {EN}, location = {Vancouver, BC, Canada}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/The Vision of Crowds - Social Event Summarization Based on User-Generated Multimedia Content.pdf}, talkdate = {2011.05.08}, talktype = {registered} }
