  • 用带上下文信息的AI草稿辅助新手撰写视频解说
  • 高质量草稿使完成时间减少50%以上,认知负担显著降低
  • 草稿质量需匹配内容复杂度,是设计关键

音频描述(AD)为视障和低视力人群讲述视频中的视觉内容。近期研究显示,让新手基于AI生成的草稿开始撰写,能提高内容质量并降低入门门槛。但草稿质量如何影响修改过程仍不清楚。我们通过GenAD(整合可访问性指南与视频上下文信息的生成管道)和RefineAD(人类修订界面)开展研究,从文本、时序和表达三个维度衡量人机贡献。在被试内实验中,对比了从零开始撰写与编辑不同质量草稿的效果。结果显示,GenAD生成的草稿使完成时间缩短超过一半,显著降低认知负荷;而仅用简单无指导提示生成的基线草稿仅带来有限收益,表明存在最低质量阈值。定性分析发现,该阈值随视觉复杂度增加而提高。因此我们提出:有效的AI辅助应达到适配目标内容的质量阈值,而非仅仅存在。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Audio description (AD) narrates visual elements in video for blind and low-vision audiences. Recent work has shown that giving novice describers an AI-generated draft to start from helps produce higher-quality AD and lowers the barrier to entry. What remains an open question is how draft quality shapes the editing process. We investigate this through GenAD, an AD generation pipeline that incorporates accessibility guidelines and contextual video information, and RefineAD, an editing interface for human revisions. Human-AI contributions are measured across text, timing, and delivery. In a within-subjects study, we compared authoring from scratch against editing AI drafts of varying quality. GenAD drafts cut completion time by more than half and significantly reduced cognitive load. In contrast, baseline drafts generated from simple, unguided prompts offered only modest benefits, pointing to a minimum quality threshold for effectiveness. Qualitative findings suggest this threshold is content-dependent; as visual complexity increases, so does the quality needed from AI drafts. We propose this as a design principle: effective AI assistance should clear a quality threshold suited to the target content, rather than simply be present.
