Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for attributing advertisement exposure in a cinema environment. A ticket event is accessed, indicating a user's purchase of a movie ticket at a specific location, screening room, and showtime. Advertisement schedule data is accessed to identify ads shown before the movie. The system determines that the user was likely present during the advertisement window using ticket information and supplemental data such as geolocation or concession purchase records. Post-exposure events—such as transactions, store visits, or digital engagement—are analyzed to detect behavioral changes following ad exposure. A correlation engine links the exposure to user behavior, enabling ad attribution, effectiveness scoring, and campaign optimization. The system supports privacy-preserving data handling and applies statistical or machine learning models to improve attribution accuracy.

Abstract: An automatic flagging of sensitive portions of a digital dataset for media production includes receiving the digital dataset comprising at least one of audio data, video data, or audio-video data for producing at least one media program. A processor identifies sensitive portions of the digital dataset likely to be in one or more defined content classifications, based at least in part on comparing unclassified portions of the digital dataset with classified portions of the prior media production using an algorithm, and generates a plurality of sensitivity tags each signifying a sensitivity assessment for a corresponding one of the sensitive portions. The processor may save the plurality of sensitivity tags each correlated to its corresponding one of the sensitive portions in a computer memory for use by a media production or localization team.

Abstract: Approaches provide for predictive viewership associated with a device. Information associated with viewership by the device may be received over an interval. The received viewership information is merged with panel information to further generate merged information. The merged information is then aggregated at a predetermined increment to form aggregated date. The aggregated data can then be used as input training data to a model to generate probability of viewership by the device. One or more metrics associated with the predicted viewership can be tracked to evaluate model performance.
