Video highlight detection using pairwise deep ranking neural network training is described. In some examples, highlights in a video are discovered, then used for generating summarization of videos, such as first-person videos. A pairwise deep ranking model is employed to learn the relationship between previously identified highlight and non-highlight video segments. This relationship is encapsulated in a neural network. An example two stream process generates highlight scores for each segment of a user's video. The obtained highlight scores are used to summarize highlights of the user's video.
