Abstract

To improve information retrieval from films we attempt to segment movies into scenes using the subtitles Film subtitles differ significantly in nature from other texts; we describe some of the challenges of working with movie subtitles We test a few modifications to the TextTiling algorithm, in order to get an effective segmentation.
