Abstract: A method of classifying a product placement in a video using rule sets is disclosed. Each rule of the rule set includes a value and one or more defining rule elements. An attribute rule set is created with attribute values and attribute elements that define levels of audio visual prominence of a product in the video. An integration rule set is created with integration values and integration elements where the integration elements define levels of integration of the product with video continuity. The video is partitioned at product scene changes to create product blocks. For each product block, an attribute value is selected based on the attribute elements and an integration value is selected based on the integration elements. An impact parameter for the video is derived as a function of the selected attribute values and integration value.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in a hierarchical feedback aggregation (HFA) system implemented in one or more data processing systems, for collecting and presenting user feedback information for a composite offering. A backend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a first data processing system, registers a hierarchical feedback model for the composite offering. A frontend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a second data processing system, receives user feedback for an identified component of the composite offering. The backend engine of the HFA system generates an aggregate user feedback score for the identified component based on a combination of the user feedback for the identified component and aggregate user feedback scores for child components of the identified component in the hierarchical feedback model. The backend engine outputs a representation of the generated aggregate user feedback score for the component to a user.
