Abstract: An electronic device obtains a listening history for a media item, the listening history including retention information indicating, for each respective portion of a plurality of portions of the media item, a number of listeners who listened to the respective portion of the media item. The electronic device, using the retention information, determines a pattern indicating a reduction in the number of listeners who listened to corresponding portions of the media item and determines a start time and an end time corresponding to a first portion of the corresponding portions of the media item. In accordance with the determination that the first portion of the corresponding portions of the media item meets predefined sub-content criteria, the electronic device stores an indication that the first portion of the media item comprises first sub-content, different from primary content, embedded in the media item.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for query understanding. A non-focused query quantifier generates non-focused query features that quantify a non-focused query and a non-focused query predictor generates a prediction associated with the non-focused query based on the non-focused query features.

Abstract: An electronic device associated with a media-providing service obtains listening history for a media item. The listening history includes retention information that indicates a number of listeners who listened to the respective portion of the media item. Using the retention information, the electronic device generates a retention graph that represents the number of listeners who listened to corresponding portions of the media item as a function of time. The electronic device detects an extremum in the retention graph. The extremum corresponds to a reduction in the number of listeners who listened to the corresponding portions of the media item. The electronic device determines whether the extremum meets predefined criteria, and in accordance with the determination that the extremum meets the predefined criteria, the electronic device stores an indication that the portions of the media item corresponding to the extremum include sub-content embedded in the media item.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. An informational database may be analyzed based upon an entity to identify an informational article. The informational article may be analyzed to identify one or more first references associated with a first sentiment category and/or one or more second references associated with a second sentiment category. Sentiment tags, indicative of sentiment categories, may be assigned to one or more first reference content items associated with the one or more first references and/or to one or more second reference content items associated with the one or more second references. For each content item of a plurality of content items associated with the entity, a sentiment category associated with the content item may be determined based upon a comparison of the content item with the one or more first reference content items and the one or more second reference content items.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for displaying videos based upon selectable inputs associated with tags are presented. For example, a video may be identified. A transcript, associated with the video, may be determined. The transcript may comprise a plurality of text segments. The transcript may be analyzed to generate a plurality of sets of tags associated with the transcript. A plurality of selectable inputs may be generated based upon the plurality of sets of tags. A video interface, comprising the plurality of selectable inputs, may be displayed on a first device. A selection of a first selectable input may be received via the video interface. The first selectable input may be associated with a first tag of the plurality of sets of tags and a first time of the video. A second device may display the video based upon the first time of the video.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for commentary generation are provided. For example, a conversation, occurring through a conversation interface associated with a content item, is monitored to identify a tone of the conversation (e.g., users discussing a news article). If the tone deviates from a target tone (e.g., a negative tone of inflammatory comments, a low participation tone, an off topic tone, etc.), then intervention is automatically and programmatically performed for the conversation. For example, subject matter of the content item, information from external sources (e.g., other articles, social network posts, or website content associated with a topic of the news article), and/or programmatically generated information (e.g., topical statements generated by a neural network) are used to construct a comment. The comment is posted to the conversation interface in order to improve the conversation, such as to increase positive engagement by users.

Abstract: A fact machine receives a comment string from a webpage and segments the comments into sub-conversations. The fact machine also identifies entities within comments or draft comments as well as a sentiment and/or attributes associated with the entity. The fact machine then queries a knowledge base for facts relating to the entity, the attributes, and/or the sentiment. The fact machine then provides the facts to a user prior to the user posting a draft comment.
