Abstract

Social services like Twitter are increasingly used to provide a conversational backdrop to real-world events in real-time. Sporting events are a good example of this and this year, millions of users tweeted their comments as they watched the World Cup matches from around the world. In this paper, we look at using these time-stamped opinions as the basis for generating video highlights for these soccer matches. We introduce the PASSEV system and describe and evaluate two basic summarization approaches.
