Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating the virality of a content item are disclosed herein. First data is collected relating to a first content item and second data is collected relating to a second content item. The first and second data are used to plot a continuous probability distribution and using the continuous probability distribution, a virality score is calculated for a third content item. In response to the virality score being greater than a first threshold, the third content item is classified as likely to be viral and the third content item is queued for auto-publishing.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for avoiding inadvertently trigging a voice assistant with audio played through a speaker. An audio signal is captured by sampling a microphone of the voice assistant at a sampling frequency that is higher than an expected finite sampling frequency of previously recorded audio played through the speaker to generate a voice data sample. A quality metric of the generated voice data sample is calculated by determining whether the generated voice data sample comprises artifacts resulting from previous compression or approximation by the expected finite sampling frequency. Based on the calculated quality metric, it is determined whether the captured audio signal is previously recorded audio played through the speaker. Responsive to the determination that the captured audio signal is previously recorded audio played through the speaker, the voice assistant refrains from being activated.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and an apparatus are provided for presenting an option to purchase an NFT based on a scene of a media asset to an advertiser. One example computer-implemented method includes obtaining, from a first source, a scene of a media asset, determining that the scene comprises a product, obtaining, from a second source, a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the scene, matching the NFT to an advertiser based on the product, and presenting an option to purchase the matched NFT to the advertiser.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing individualized meeting content to participants in online meetings. Participant preferences may be summarized and displayed for speakers to see and attempt to follow, thus increasing the likelihood that meetings will progress according to the preferences of their attendees. Participants may also have their individual meeting feeds tailored to their preferences, if those preferences can be met in real time, during the meeting. Participants may further receive individual recordings of the meetings afterward, for those preferences that cannot be met in real time. In this manner, meeting participants may experience personalized versions of meetings, tailored to their particular preferences. This may improve participant interest in, and engagement with, online meetings.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines when a viewer is likely to skip over supplemental content and adjusts supplemental content presentation to compensate. Systems of embodiments of the disclosure may utilize various inputs to determine the likelihood of skipping supplemental content, including cursor position at or near specified icons or other UI elements, as well as user actions such as gaze direction, various motions or actions, controller manipulations, and the like. Once a likelihood of skipping supplemental content is determined, various actions may be taken in response, including without limitation selection of supplemental content that conveys its intended message prior to skipping, supplemental content that can be played at increased speed, and designation of supplemental content slots as skippable or non-skippable.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining, based on recommendations provided by users that have consumed a media asset, which consumption options may be configured on a media device such that when configured enhance the user viewing experience for a specific media asset. The method includes accessing comments posted by other users that have consumed the media asset. The comments are analyzed to determine a consumption option recommendation. If the number of comments meet a threshold value, then the system either automatically configures the media device or configures the media device upon user approval with the recommended consumption option. The recommendation to configure a consumption option on the media device is made only if the recommendation is supported by the media device. The system also detects through audio and image analysis which users are consuming the media asset and accordingly configures the consumption options to their preferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically generating a product description personalized for a target user account. Product description data and/or product comment data associated with the product are obtained from a server via a communication network. Based on the product description data and/or product comment data, a product description template, comprising fields to be populated, is generated and stored in memory. Comment data associated with a product of interest is obtained from a server via the network. The comment data originates from a set of user accounts each having a similarity score with a target user account that is above a similarity threshold. Based on the set of comment data, comment-based description data are generated and stored in memory. Based on the product description template and the comment-based description data, a product description is generated for presentation for the target user account.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for resolving an unresolved plot or storyline of a series and resolving it. A user may not view all episodes in a series of episodes, particularly if the series runs over a long period of time, such as several years. The user may however be interested and curious to know how the series ends, with reference to a storyline that runs throughout the series. Therefore the disclosure provides methods and systems for determining if a user is interested in the resolution of an unresolved storyline and generating a resolution video for display.
