Conclusions  and  future  works

• Mid-­level  visual  descriptors          Affective  nature  of  interestingness

• Our  features  are  all  static  and  frame-­based

• Temporal  information     The  small  size  of  the  dataset

• Larger  scale  datasets           Sophisticated  methods

• Audio  features
