    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for selecting a frame of video content that is representative of a media title. The technique includes applying an embedding model to a plurality of faces included in a set of frames of the video content to generate a plurality of face embeddings. The technique also includes aggregating the plurality of face embeddings into a plurality of clusters representing a plurality of characters included in the media title. The technique further includes computing a plurality of prominence scores for the plurality of characters based on one or more attributes of the plurality of clusters, and selecting, from the set of frames, a frame of video content as representative of the media title based on one or more prominence scores for one or more characters included in the frame.

    Abstract: A neural network system that is trained to identify one or more portions of a media title where synchronization errors are likely to be present. The neural network system is trained based on a first set of media titles where synchronization errors are present and a second set of media titles where synchronization errors are absent. The second set of media titles can be generated by introducing synchronization errors into a set of media titles that otherwise lack synchronization errors. Via training, the neural network system learns to identify specific visual features included in one or more video frames and corresponding audio features that should be played back in synchrony with the associated visual features. Accordingly, when presented with a media title that includes synchronization errors, the neural network can indicate the specific frames where synchronization errors are likely to be present.
