Abstract
We present a method for creating video summaries in real-time on commodity hardware. Real-time here refers to the fact that the time required for video summarization is less than the duration of the input video. First, low-level features are use to discard undesirable frames. Next, video is divided into segments, and segment-level features are extracted for each segment. Tree-based models trained on widely available video summarization and computational aesthetics datasets are then used to rank individual segments, and top-ranked segments are selected to generate the final video summary. We evaluate the proposed method on The SumMe Video Summarization (SumMe) dataset and show that our method is able to achieve summarization accuracy that is comparable to that of a current state-of-the-art deep learning method, while posting significantly faster run-times. Our method on average is able to generate a video summary in time that is shorter than the duration of the video.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
