  • Patent number: 9330171
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, a video content, selecting at least one video frame from the video content, subsampling the at least one video frame to generate a first representation of the at least one video frame, selecting a sub-region of the at least one video frame to generate a second representation of the at least one video frame, and applying a convolutional neuron network to the first and second representations of the at least one video frame to generate an annotation for the video content.

  • Publication number: 20160070962
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for selecting representative frames for videos is provided. The method includes receiving a video and identifying a set of features for each of the frames of the video. The features including frame-based features and semantic features. The semantic features identifying likelihoods of semantic concepts being present as content in the frames of the video. A set of video segments for the video is subsequently generated. Each video segment includes a chronological subset of frames from the video and each frame is associated with at least one of the semantic features. The method generates a score for each frame of the subset of frames for each video segment based at least on the semantic features, and selecting a representative frame for each video segment based on the scores of the frames in the video segment. The representative frame represents and summarizes the video segment.

  • Patent number: 9280742
    Abstract: Methods and systems for suggesting one or more semantic tags for a media clip are disclosed. In one aspect, a media clip provided by a user is identified, and a first set of semantic tags is generated for the media clip based on a feature vector associated with the media clip. The first set of semantic tags is then provided to a classifier that is trained based on user selection of semantic tags. Further, a second set of semantic tags is obtained from the classifier and is suggested to the user for the media clip.
