Abstract: A method and system for auto-curating a media are provided. Media content is received over the network interface. A set of markers is identified for the media content, each marker corresponding to one of a plurality of visible and audible cues in the media content. Segments in the media content are identified based on the identified set of markers. An excitement score is computed for each segment based on the identified markers that fall within the segment. A highlight clip is generated by identifying segments having excitement scores greater than a threshold.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide devices that subtitle streaming video with audio and identify a speaker in a streaming video with audio according to words spoken by the speaker matched to a cognitive print. The cognitive print includes traits classified according a hierarchical long short term model (LSTM). The hierarchical LSTM includes layers of LSTMs and each layer corresponds to the classification of one trait. A processor annotates a subtitle of the words spoken by the speaker, which decorates the subtitle with a label representative of the identified speaker, and streams the decorated subtitle with the streaming video with audio.

Abstract: A hierarchy of agents is constructed from a set of agents. Each agent in the hierarchy is trained to answer a question according to a corresponding corpus associated with the agent, which contains a portion of knowledge about a subject-matter. The question is submitted to a first subset of agents, the agents in the first subset occupying a first level in the hierarchy. From a first agent in the first subset, a first answer is propagated to a second agent in a second subset of agents, the first agent computing the first answer using a first portion of knowledge about the subject-matter. to form a first morphed answer, a second answer is added to the first answer, the second answer being computed by the second agent using a second portion of knowledge about the subject-matter. The morphed answer is produced in response to the question.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating several crypto tokens, each token includes a content portion that is encrypted. For each pair of tokens, a first token and a second token, in response to a correlation score between content portions of the first token and the second token exceeding a predetermined correlation threshold, creating a grid link between the first token and the second token. The tokens are added into a ledger. A group of tokens is created, based on a similarity score. A series of forecasting equations is distributed to the group of tokens. A forecast reveal rate is generated based on the series of forecasting equations, and in response to the forecast reveal rate meeting a forecast threshold, a key is generated for revealing at least one content portions embedded in the group of tokens. The key is released to decrypt the at least one content portion.

Abstract: Techniques for padding audiovisual clips (for example, audiovisual clips of sporting events) for the purpose of causing the clip to have a predetermined duration so that the padded clip can be evaluated for viewer interest by a machine learning (ML) algorithm. The unpadded clip is padded with audiovisual segment(s) that will cause the padded clip to have a level of viewer interest that it would have if the unpadded clip had been longer. In some embodiments the padded segments are synthetic images generated by a generative adversarial network such that the synthetic images would have the same level of viewer interest (as adjudged by an ML algorithm) as if the unpadded clip had been shot to be longer.

Abstract: Provided is a method, a system, and a program product for determining a policy using semi-supervised reinforcement learning. The method includes observing a state of an environment by a learning agent. The method also includes taking an action by the learning agent. The method further includes observing a new state of the environment and calculating a reward for the action taken by the learning agent. The method also includes determining whether a policy related to the learning agent should be changed. The determination is conducted by a teaching agent that inputs the state of the environment and the reward as features. The method can also include changing the policy related to the learning agent upon a determination that a label outputted by the teaching agent exceeds a reward threshold.
