Interesting entities in News videos
We investigated the user preferences for identifying interesting entities to enrich news videos. The Linked News application helps viewers answer questions that are triggered by the content of the video. Who is that person? Where is this organization located? To effectively support viewers to answer these types of questions the application needs to present the entities that are interesting to the user to receive more information about and link to the appropriate source of this information. In the study we created a dataset of candidate entities for 5 short videos from the
BBC One Minute World News Website. We manually identified the entities from different sources and annotated them with their type and their relation to the topic of the video. We also asked an expert to provide the interesting entities for each video. With an online survey we collected feedback on the interestingness of these named entities from 50 participants.
