Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives social data, video data, and/or statistical data for a live video being played and generates an event based on analyzing at least one of the social data, the video data, and the statistical data. The method then classifies the social data into a social score, the video data into a video score, and the statistical data into a statistical score and generates a threshold for the social score, the video score, and the statistical score. When the threshold is met using one or more of the social score, video score, and the statistical score, the event for the live video is triggered where an occurrence of the event is not predetermined for the live video. The method causes an action to be performed during the live video based on the triggering of the event.
