To support the replication of "MMSF: A Multimodal Sentiment-Fused Method to Recognize Video Speaking Style", which was presented at ICMR'23, this companion paper provides the details of the artifacts. Speaking style recognition is aimed at recognizing the styles of conversations, which provides a fine-grained description about talking. In the original paper, we proposed a novel multimodal sentiment-fused method, MMSF, which extracts and integrates visual, audio and textual features of videos and introduced sentiment in MMSF with cross-attention mechanism to enhance the video feature to recognize speaking styles. In this paper, we explain the details of the implement code and the dataset used for experiments.

As talking takes a large proportion of human lives, it is necessary to perform deeper understanding of human conversations. Speaking style recognition is aimed at recognizing the styles of conversations, which provides a fine-grained description about talking. Current works focus on adopting only visual clues to recognize speaking styles, which cannot accurately distinguish different speaking styles when they are visually similar. To recognize speaking styles more effectively, we propose a novel multimodal sentiment-fused method, MMSF, which extracts and integrates visual, audio and textual features of videos. In addition, as sentiment is one of the motivations of human behavior, we first introduce sentiment into our multimodal method with cross-attention mechanism, which enhance the video feature to recognize speaking styles. The proposed MMSF is evaluated on long-form video understanding benchmark, and the experiment results show that it is superior to the state-of-the-arts.

Travelogues are a common media form that incorporates both text and images. Typically, they are composed after the completion of a travel period. Creating a travelogue demands substantial time and effort, particularly in the curation of suitable images from the extensive collection of photos taken during the journey to complement the text. Consequently, we have developed and implemented Easy Travelogue, a travelogue editor that utilizes visual and language models. It offers real-time image suggestions while writing the text and can automatically insert fitting images into the finished content. The editor is versatile and can be readily utilized for personal travelogues, travel blogs, and various social media platforms, facilitating users in effortlessly sharing and showcasing their travel experiences.

The Deep Video Understanding Challenge (DVU) is a task that focuses on comprehending long duration videos which involve many entities. Its main goal is to build relationship and interaction knowledge graph between entities to answer relevant questions. In this paper, we improved the joint learning method which we previously proposed in many aspects, including few shot learning, optical flow feature, entity recognition, and video description matching. We verified the effectiveness of these measures through experiments.
