  • Patent number: 11935300
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a match cutting application automatically generates candidate match cuts. In some embodiments, the match cutting application detects shot sequences within one or more video sequences, deduplicates the shot sequences, computes an encoding of each shot sequence after the deduplication, and compares the encodings associated with pairs of shot sequences using a distance metric to identify pairs of shot sequences that can be cut together to generate candidate match cuts. In addition, the match cutting application can apply an approximation technique, such as an approximate nearest neighbor search technique, to identify intermediate pairs of shot sequences prior to comparing encodings associated with the intermediate pairs of shot sequences.

  • Publication number: 20210073480
    Abstract: Various embodiments set forth systems and techniques for training a sentence preprocessing model. The techniques include determining, using a machine translation system, a back translation associated with a ground truth translation of a source sentence in a source language to a target language, wherein the back translation comprises a translation of the ground truth translation from one or more target languages to the source language; determining, using the sentence preprocessing model, a simplified sentence associated with the source sentence; and updating one or more parameters of the sentence preprocessing model based on the simplified sentence and the back translation.
