Aggregating textual and video data from movies
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, we present an automatically annotated corpus based on movie screenplays (script) and subtitles. We extract the relevant textual information from movie screenplays and subtitles using a regular expression approach. Then, we synchronize screenplays with subtitles using a matching algorithm, thus bounding each sentence from a script between two temporal limits. We also developed an application using the corpus to test our approach and to show practical situations where this corpus is useful. The application employs topic detection and it involves searching for a specified topic in the movie text and marking the topic as non-existent, episodic or primary topic for the analyzed text. The major problem we faced while working on this system was the unexpected structure of the screenplay sheets as this kind of files are not entirely written using a standardized format which can be easily parsed and structured automatically. Some types of errors can be overcome with regular expressions, but there are other errors that need a machine learning approach to be surpassed.
