Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methods for evaluating song play performance of broadcast music. The analytics system comprises one or more data processing resources. The data processing resource receives transaction records that are related to songs being played on radio stations. The transaction records comprise a song identifier, play location, play time, and additional metadata.

Abstract: Techniques for video manipulation detection are described to detect one or more manipulations present in digital content such as a digital video. A detection system, for instance, receives a frame of a digital video that depicts at least one entity. Coordinates of the frame that correspond to a gaze location of the entity are determined, and the detection system determines whether the coordinates correspond to a portion of an object depicted in the frame to calculate a gaze confidence score. A manipulation score is generated that indicates whether the digital video has been manipulated based on the gaze confidence score. In some examples, the manipulation score is based on at least one additional confidence score.
