Abstract:
Systems and methods for recommending media content to a user based on information associated with a referral source that referred the user to a media item provided by a source of the media content are presented. In one or more aspects, a system is provided that includes a presentation component that presents, via user a interface, a first media item associated with a media presentation source referred to a user through a referral source. The system further includes an analytics component that identifies a second media item based on media items associated with the media presentation source that are referred to other users through the referral source, and a recommendation component that recommends the second media item to the user through the user interface.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for managing notifications directed to multiple applications installed on a user device are provided. In some embodiments, a method for managing notifications is provided, the method comprising: receiving, using a hardware processor, a first notification for a first application; determining a first user device associated with the first application; receiving a second notification for a second application; determining a second user device associated with the second application; determining that the first user device and the second user device are the same device; determining that the first notification and the second notification are corresponding notifications; determining that the first notification has priority over the second notification; sending the first notification to the first user device upon determining that the first notification has priority over the second notification; and inhibiting the second notification from being sent to the first user device.
Abstract:
Providing content in a content list may include identifying positions within the list where content can be provided. A client agent may automatically play items of content at a first position when determining that the first position is within a displayed region of the content list. The client agent may identify a duration during which the first item is within the displayed region of the list, pause playback of the first item at a point in time when the displayed region of the list is advanced to no longer include the first position, and compare the first duration to a threshold value. The client agent may determine that the displayed region of the list has advanced to a second position and resume playback of the first item near the point in time and at the second position if the duration is less than the threshold value.
Abstract:
Recommending channels is disclosed. A method for recommending a channel includes identifying multiple component channels of a content platform. The method further includes generating a user interest score for the user for each of the component channels. The method further includes defining a composite channel that includes a subset of the component channels. The method further includes providing a recommendation to the user to subscribe to the composite channel.
Abstract:
A method for identifying insertion points for inserting live content into a continuous content stream is disclosed. The method includes identifying a live content item to include in a continuous content stream, and identifying an interesting portion of the live content stream, the interesting portion corresponding to a time duration. The method further includes computing an estimated end time of a first content item included in the continuous content stream, and scheduling the live content item to be included in the continuous content stream as a next content item to be presented after the first content item in response to a determination that the estimated end time of the first content item occurs within the time duration.
Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to image overlay compositing. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a first image and a second image. The method further includes determining one or more attributes of each of the first image and the second image, where the one or more attributes includes one or more image types. The method further includes determining one or more compositing techniques combine the first image and the second image based on one or more of the attributes.

Abstract:
Described herein is a method for managing media item playback. A method includes receiving a media request to play a media item via a first user interface (UI) on a mobile device. The method further includes causing a media player in a second UI to play the media item. The method also includes displaying a representation of the media item in a first portion of the first UI, the first portion of the first UI being associated with the media player in the second UI. The method includes receiving, via a second portion of the first UI, an activity request to perform an activity that is independent of the viewing of the media item. The method further includes and presenting content associated with the requested activity in the first UI while continuing to display, in the first portion of the first UI, the representation of the media item played in the media player in the second UI.
Abstract:
A messaging system for a live event is described. A processing device presents a live event having at least one participant. The processing device presents one or more participant messages within a native messaging interface associated with the event. The processing device also presents one or more viewer messages within the native messaging interface. The viewer messages are integrated with the participant messages and the viewer messages are entered via a non-native messaging interface.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request for content to be presented in a specified content slot of a specified content page; calculating an active view scroll distance of the specified content slot with respect to the specified content page, the active view scroll distance corresponding to a measurement of a distance that the specified content page would have to be scrolled to change visibility of content displayed in the specified content slot by a specified amount; performing an auction of content items utilizing in part the active view scroll distance; and providing one or more content items in response to the request and as a result of the auction.
