Abstract

A method for detecting one or more topic transitions in a multimedia content includes identifying, one or more frames from a plurality of frames of the multimedia content based on a comparison between one or more content items in a first frame of the plurality of frames, and the one or more content items in a first set of frames of the plurality of frames. The method further includes determining at least a first score, and a second score for each of the one or more frames. Additionally, the method includes determining a likelihood for each of the one or more frames based at least on the first score, and the second score, wherein the likelihood is indicative of a topic transition among the one or more frames.
