  • Patent number: 11966440
    Abstract: A method for automatic metadata tag identification for videos is described. Content features are extracted from a video into respective data structures. The extracted content features are from at least two different feature modalities. The respective data structures are encoded into a common data structure using an encoder of a recurrent neural network (RNN) model. The common data structure is decoded using a decoder of the RNN model to identify content platform metadata tags to be associated with the video on a social content platform. Decoding is based on group tag data for users of the social content platform that identifies groups of the users and corresponding group metadata tags of interest for the groups of users.

  • Patent number: 11928346
    Abstract: An approach for optimizing storage on a local storage device. The approach identifies a stored or being stored on a user's local storage device. The approach extracts metadata from the media file. The approach searches the user-associated storage locations for a matching media file based on the metadata. If the approach locates the matching media file, then the approach, using artificial intelligence (AI), predicts if the local device storage should be optimized for the media file, then the approach, using AI, stores a link to the matching media file on the local device storage and removes the media file from the local device storage.

  • Patent number: 11874888
    Abstract: The system generates a recommendation of content for use in collaboration, allowing relevant content to be used as base content. The system identifies a content item, and retrieves reviews for the content item from one or more sources or forums. The system filters the reviews to generate a reduced set of reviews based on text of the respective reviews, profile information associated with the reviews, and reference information. A recommendation metric is determined for the content item based on the reduced set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria. The recommendation criteria specify which aspects of the content impact recommendation, and how those aspects impact recommendation. The recommendation metric indicates whether the content item is recommended as base content, to be used for generating collaborative content. The system generates a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric, and outputs the indicator for display, storage, or both.

  • Patent number: 11868324
    Abstract: A journaling file system may implement remote durable logging. Updates to a file system may be received, and log records describing the updates may be stored in a locally-accessible file system change log. The update may then be acknowledged as committed. The log records may then be sent to be stored in a network-based data store in a remote version of the file system change log. Once it may be determined that the log records are stored in the remote version, storage space for the log records in the local file system change log may be reclaimed. Various types of restoration and duplication techniques may be implemented based on the remote version of the change log to restore a file system at an originating device or to duplicate the file system at a different device.
