Video Genre Classification using Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks

A wide amount of media in the internet is in the form of video files which have different formats and encodings. Easy identification and sorting of videos becomes a mammoth task if done manually. With an ever-increasing demand for video streaming and download, the Video Classification problem is brought into foresight for managing such large and unstructured data over the internet and locally. We present a solution for classifying videos into genres and locality by training a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network. It involves feature extraction from video files in the form of frames and audio. The Neural Networks makes a suitable prediction. The final output layer will place the video in a certain genre. This problem could be applied to a vast number of applications including but not limited to search optimization, grouping, critic reviews, piracy detection, targeted advertisements, etc. We expect our fully trained model to identify, with acceptable accuracy, any video or video clip over the internet and thus eliminate the cumbersome problem of manual video classification.
