Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating optimized video segments. A derivative video segment (e.g., a scene) can be identified from derivative video content (e.g., a movie trailer). The segment may be used a query to search video content (e.g., the movie) for the segment. Once found, an optimized video segment may be generated from the video content. The optimized video segment may have a different start time and/or end time than those corresponding to the original segment. Once optimized, the video segment may be presented to a user or stored for subsequent content recommendations.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a composite yarn, comprising: a core filament located at a core of the composite yarn; a first multifilament covering in parallel a peripheral surface of the core filament; a water-based adhesive distributed on a surface and inside of the first multifilament, wherein the water-based adhesive on the surface of the first multifilament forms a water-based adhesive layer; a second multifilament covering in parallel a peripheral surface of the water-based adhesive layer; and a single-clad structure layer or a double-clad structure layer covering an outer side of the second multifilament. The single-clad structure layer includes a short fiber yarn-clad structure layer or a filament-clad structure layer. The double-clad structure layer is a clad structure of short fiber yarns, a clad structure of filaments, or a clad structure of short fiber yarns and filaments. Two layers of clad yarns of the double-clad structure layer are twisted in opposite directions.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a composite yarn, a method and a device for processing the composite yarn, and protective equipment. The composite yarn comprises a core filament located at a core of the composite yarn; a first multifilament covering in parallel a peripheral surface of the core filament; a water-based adhesive distributed on a surface and inside of the first multifilament, wherein the water-based adhesive on the surface of the first multifilament forms a water-based adhesive layer; a second multifilament covering in parallel a peripheral surface of the water-based adhesive layer; and a single-clad structure layer or a double-clad structure layer covering an outer side of the second multifilament, wherein both the first multifilament and the second multifilament are organic multifilaments or inorganic multifilaments.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for generating compelling preview clips of media presentations. Compelling clips are identified based on weighted combinations of attribute scores determined for indices of a media presentation. One or more of these compelling clips are then provided to a client device for playback.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for generating compelling preview clips of media presentations. Compelling clips are identified based on the extent to which human faces are shown and/or the loudness of the audio associated with the clips. One or more of these compelling clips are then provided to a client device for playback.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for automated video preview generation. Example methods may include determining video content, determining a first shot transition, a second shot transition, a third shot transition, and a fourth shot transition in the video content, and determining that human speech is present during the first shot transition and the second shot transition. Example methods may include determining a first timestamp associated with the third shot transition, determining a second timestamp associated with the fourth shot transition, generating a first video preview of the video content, where the first video preview includes a segment of the video content from the first timestamp to the second timestamp, and causing presentation of the first video preview, where the first video preview does not include a segment of the video content between the first shot transition and the second shot transition.
