  • Patent number: 11074456
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for automating content annotation includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing an automation training software code. The hardware processor executes the automation training software code to initially train a content annotation engine using labeled content, test the content annotation engine using a first test set of content obtained from a training database, and receive corrections to a first automatically annotated content set resulting from the test. The hardware processor further executes the automation training software code to further train the content annotation engine based on the corrections, determine one or more prioritization criteria for selecting a second test set of content for testing the content annotation engine based on the statistics relating to the first automatically annotated content, and select the second test set of content from the training database based on the prioritization criteria.

  • Patent number: 10817565
    Abstract: A media content tagging system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a tag selector software code configured to receive media content having segments, each segment including multiple content elements each associated with metadata tags having respective pre-computed confidence scores. For each content element, the tag selector software code assigns each of the metadata tags to at least one tag group, determines a confidence score for each tag group based on the pre-computed confidence scores of its assigned metadata tags, discards tag groups having less than a minimum number of assigned metadata tags, and filters the reduced number of tag groups based on the second confidence score to identify a further reduced number of tag groups. The tag selector software code then selects at least one representative tag group for a segment from among the further reduced number of tag groups.

  • Patent number: 10469905
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a content classification system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a video asset classification software code. The hardware processor executes the video asset classification software code to receive video clips depicting video assets and each including images and annotation metadata, and to preliminarily classify the images with one or more of the video assets to produce image clusters. The hardware processor further executes the video asset classification software code to identify key features data corresponding respectively to each image cluster, to segregate the image clusters into image super-clusters based on the key feature data, and to uniquely identify each of at least some of the image super-clusters with one of the video assets.

  • Patent number: 10299013
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a media content annotation system includes a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a model-driven annotation software code. The hardware processor executes the model-driven annotation software code to receive media content for annotation, identify a data model corresponding to the media content, and determine a workflow for annotating the media content based on the data model, the workflow including multiple tasks. The hardware processor further executes the model-driven annotation software code to identify one or more annotation contributors for performing the tasks included in the workflow, distribute the tasks to the one or more annotation contributors, receive inputs from the one or more contributors responsive to at least some of the tasks, and generate an annotation for the media content based on the inputs.

  • Publication number: 20180005157
    Abstract: There are provided media asset tagging systems and method. Such a system includes a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a workflow management software code including a tagging application template and a multi-contributor synthesis module. The hardware processor executes the workflow management software code to provide a workflow management interface, to receive a media asset identification data and a workflow rules data, and to generate custom tagging applications based on the workflow rules data. The hardware processor further executes the workflow management software code to receive tagging data for the media asset, determine at least a first constraint for tagging the media asset, receive additional tagging data for, and determine at least a second constraint for tagging the media asset. The media asset is then tagged based on the tagging data and the additional tagging data, subject to the constraints.
