Metadata extraction and classification of YouTube videos using sentiment analysis

Abstract

MPEG media have been widely adopted and is very successful in promoting interoperable services that deliver video to consumers on a range of devices. However, media consumption is going beyond the mere playback of a media asset and is geared towards a richer user experience that relies on rich metadata and content description. This paper proposes a technique for extracting and analysing metadata from a video, followed by decision making related to the video content. The system uses sentiment analysis for such a classification. It is envisaged that the system when fully developed, is to be applied to determine the existence of illicit multimedia content on the Web.
