Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically inserting advertisements into source video content playback streams are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods communicate a source video content playback stream to a video player to present source video to a user. During playback of the source video, and in response to receipt of a request from the user to navigate portions of the source video (e.g., a user command to fast forward the source video, rewind the source video, or other action), the systems and methods dynamically define a video advertisement clip insertion point (e.g., and insertion point based on a current playback position). The systems and methods then insert a contextually relevant and/or targeted video advertisement clip into the playback stream for presentation to the user.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing multi-class image classification by leveraging negative multimedia data items to train and update classifiers are described. The techniques describe accessing positive multimedia data items of a plurality of multimedia data items, extracting features from the positive multimedia data items, and training classifiers based at least in part on the features. The classifiers may include a plurality of model vectors each corresponding to one of the individual labels. The system may iteratively test the classifiers using positive multimedia data and negative multimedia data and may update one or more model vectors associated with the classifiers differently, depending on whether multimedia data items are positive or negative. Techniques for applying the classifiers to determine whether a new multimedia data item is associated with a topic based at least in part on comparing similarity values with corresponding statistics derived from classifier training are also described.

Abstract: Optimizing multi-class image classification by leveraging patch-based features extracted from weakly supervised images to train classifiers is described. A corpus of images associated with a set of labels may be received. One or more patches may be extracted from individual images in the corpus. Patch-based features may be extracted from the one or more patches and patch representations may be extracted from individual patches of the one or more patches. The patches may be arranged into clusters based at least in part on the patch-based features. At least some of the individual patches may be removed from individual clusters based at least in part on determined similarity values that are representative of similarity between the individual patches. The system may train classifiers based in part on patch-based features extracted from patches in the refined clusters. The classifiers may be used to accurately and efficiently classify new images.
