Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to filtering messages. A computer system may detect an occurrence of an event of a particular type. The computer system may determine whether to enqueue, in a message queue, a message that identifies a set of tasks to be performed in relation to the event. The determination may be based on a response received from a cache that stores a subset of filter rules of a filter rules table. Based on the response indicating a cache miss, the computer system may enqueue the message in the message queue. A process that processes the message may be operable to resolve the cache miss by 1) accessing a filter rule from the filter rules table that indicates whether messages for events of the particular type should be enqueued in the message queue and 2) updating the cache to store the filter rule.

Abstract: A method and system for coding of a media “genome” employs machine learning models for social tagging of media titles. A media genome is a detailed description of the intrinsic elements that make up a piece of content; it is a comprehensive taxonomy that considers every impactful dimension of a film, TV episode, video short, video game, or other media title. The genome may be used by filmmakers to better understand their content, as well as that of competitors. It may also be used by entertainment marketers to better target their marketing budget for specific audiences, and by brands to determine which televisions programs and films they wish to advertise around or sponsor placements in.
