Abstract
The disclosed technology includes techniques for improved content coverage in automatically-generated content summaries. The technique may include clustering a set of input content, determining diffusion for each cluster, and selecting representatives of each cluster to optimize other secondary metrics. Various types of input content may be used, including groups of images, video clips, or other multimedia content. Contiguous content may be manually or programmatically divided into discrete portions before clustering, for example, a lengthy video divided into a number of short clips. In some implementations, the disclosed technique may be implemented effectively on a mobile device. In other words, the processing required may be computationally feasible for execution on a smartphone or similar device.
