Abstract
A system and methodology provide for annotating videos with entities and associated probabilities of existence of the entities within video frames. A computer-implemented method selects an entity from a plurality of entities identifying characteristics of a video item, where the video item has associated metadata. The computer-implemented method receives probabilities of existence of the entity in video frames of the video item, and selects a video frame determined to comprise the entity responsive to determining the video frame having a probability of existence of the entity greater than zero. The computer-implemented method determines a scaling factor for the probability of existence of the entity using the metadata of the video item, and determines an adjusted probability of existence of the entity by using the scaling factor to adjust the probability of existence of the entity. The computer-implemented method labels the video frame with the adjusted probability of existence.
