    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed to generate light control information. An example apparatus comprises a beat tracking network to determine a length of time between a first media onset and a second media onset, a light drive waveform generator to compare the length of time to a time threshold, the time threshold corresponding to a desired time between consecutive light pulses, when the time threshold is not satisfied, increase the length of time, the increased length of time corresponding to light pulse spacing, and generate light control information based on the light pulse spacing, the light control information to cause the consecutive light pulses, and an effect engine to generate intensity information based on a first amplitude of the first media onset and a second amplitude of the second media onset, an amplitude of the consecutive light pulses corresponding to the intensity information.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an example method includes (i) extracting a sequence of audio features from a portion of a sequence of media content; (ii) extracting a sequence of video features from the portion of the sequence of media content; (iii) providing the sequence of audio features and the sequence of video features as an input to a transition detector neural network that is configured to classify whether or not a given input includes a transition between different content segments; (iv) obtaining from the transition detector neural network classification data corresponding to the input; (v) determining that the classification data is indicative of a transition between different content segments; and (vi) based on determining that the classification data is indicative of a transition between different content segments, outputting transition data indicating that the portion of the sequence of media content includes a transition between different content segments.

    Abstract: Example systems and methods for automated cover song identification are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory, and one or more processors to execute instructions to identify query audio from a content source based on a search query using rights metadata associated with the query audio, execute a constant Q transform on query time slices of the query audio, binarize the constant Q transformed query time slices, execute a two-dimensional Fourier transform on query time windows within the binarized and constant Q transformed query time slices to generate two-dimensional Fourier transforms of the query time windows, generate a query data structure based on a sequential order of the two-dimensional Fourier transforms, select a subset including reference audio of a reference database based on the rights metadata, and identify the query audio as a cover rendition of the reference audio based on a comparison between the query and reference data structures.

    Abstract: As a user is being presented with interactive media by a presenting device, a separate monitoring device may be used to monitor the presentation of the interactive media and detect an event that occurs therein. Such a monitoring device may be configured and positioned to access media content from the presentation of the interactive media. For example, the monitoring device may be configured and positioned to record video content with a camera and record audio content with a microphone. Having accessed this media content, the monitoring device may generate an identifier, such as a fingerprint or watermark, of the media content and compare the generated identifier with a reference identifier that is generated from the source of the media content. Based on the generated identifier matching the reference identifier, the monitoring device may detect that an event has occurred within the interactive media presentation and present a corresponding notification.
