Deep Sentiment Features of Context and Faces for Affective Video Analysis

Given the huge quantity of hours of video available on video sharing platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc. development of automatic tools that help users find videos that fit their interests has attracted the attention of both scientific and industrial communities. So far the majority of the works have addressed semantic analysis, to identify objects, scenes and events depicted in videos, but more recently affective analysis of videos has started to gain more attention. In this work we investigate the use of sentiment driven features to classify the induced sentiment of a video, i.e. the sentiment reaction of the user. Instead of using standard computer vision features such as CNN features or SIFT features trained to recognize objects and scenes, we exploit sentiment related features such as the ones provided by Deep-SentiBank, and features extracted from models that exploit deep networks trained on face expressions. We experiment on two recently introduced datasets: LIRIS-ACCEDE and MEDIAEVAL-2015, that provide sentiment annotations of a large set of short videos. We show that our approach not only outperforms the current state-of-the-art in terms of valence and arousal classification accuracy, but it also uses a smaller number of features, requiring thus less video processing.
