Abstract

To detect subjective intentions in a multimedia news item and help users avoid the misleading, we propose a Material-Opinion model for ranking the multimedia news with a credibility score. In the model, material is the visual description of the video news. Opinion consists of the subjective words extracted from the surrounding text (or closed captions) of that video news. After extracting materials and opinions from multimedia news items, we compare any two news items to compute their material and opinion dissimilarities, respectively. By considering the support relationship between material and opinion, we compute a credibility score for each multimedia news item. Intuitively, the credibility score of a video news item consists of material and opinion credibility scores. In the event, material credibility score is computed based on the idea that high credible material should be used in most items and they support similar opinions. On the other hand, the idea of computing opinion credibility score is that high credible opinion should be claimed in most news items by using different materials. In this paper, we also present the experiment results that validate our methods.
