An overwhelming volume of news videos from different channels and languages is available today, which demands automatic management of this abundant information. To effectively search, retrieve, browse and track cross-lingual news stories, a news story similarity measure plays a critical role in assessing the novelty and redundancy among them. In this paper, we explore the novelty and redundancy detection with visual duplicates and speech transcripts for cross-lingual news stories. News stories are represented by a sequence of keyframes in the visual track and a set of words extracted from speech transcript in the audio track. A major difference to pure …

Current web video search results rely exclusively on text keywords or user-supplied tags. A search on typical popular video often returns many duplicate and near-duplicate videos in the top results. This paper outlines ways to cluster and filter out the nearduplicate video using a hierarchical approach. Initial triage is performed using fast signatures derived from color histograms. Only when a video cannot be clearly classified as novel or nearduplicate using global signatures, we apply a more expensive local feature based near-duplicate detection which provides very accurate duplicate analysis through more costly computation. The results of 24 queries in a data …
