Abstract

Recent TV series tend to have more and more complex plot. They follow the lives of numerous characters and are made of multiple intertwined stories. In this paper, we introduce StoViz, a web-based interface allowing a fast overview of this kind of episode structure, based on our plot de-interlacing system. StoViz has two main goals. First, it provides the user with a useful overview of the episode by displaying each story separately and a short abstract extracted from them. Then, it allows an efficient visual comparison of the output of any automatic plot de-interlacing algorithm with the manual annotation in terms of stories and is therefore very helpful for evaluation purposes. StoViz is available online at http://stoviz.niderb.fr.
