Generative Outpainting To Enhance the Memorability of Short-Form Videos
This addresses the need for more memorable short-form videos in advertising, social media, and other domains, but it is incremental as it applies an existing technique to a new context.
The paper tackled the problem of improving the memorability of short-form videos by using generative outpainting to expand screen sizes, finding that this method enhanced memorability scores based on quantitative evaluation.
With the expanding use of the short-form video format in advertising, social media, entertainment, education and more, there is a need for such media to both captivate and be remembered. Video memorability indicates to us how likely a video is to be remembered by a viewer who has no emotional or personal connection with its content. This paper presents the results of using generative outpainting to expand the screen size of a short-form video with a view to improving its memorability. Advances in machine learning and deep learning are compared and leveraged to understand how extending the borders of video screensizes can affect their memorability to viewers. Using quantitative evaluation we determine the best-performing model for outpainting and the impact of outpainting based on image saliency on video memorability scores
