Introduction to a Task on Context of Experience: Recommending Videos Suiting a Watching Situation

We propose a Context of Experience task, whose aim it is to explore the suitability of video content for watching in certain situations. Specically, we look at the situation of watching movies on an airplane. As a viewing context, airplanes are characterized by small screens and distracting viewing conditions. We assume that movies have properties that make them more or less suitable to this context. We are interested in developing systems that are able to reproduce a general judgment of viewers about whether a given movie is a good movie to watch during a ight. We provide a data set including a list of movies and human judgments concerning their suitability for airplanes. The goal of the task is to use movie metadata and audio-visual features extracted from movie trailers in order to automatically reproduce these judgments. A basic classication system demonstrates the feasibility and viability of the task.
