  • Patent number: 10997476
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for performing automated content evaluation. In one implementation, the system includes a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code including a predictive model trained based on an audience response to training content. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive images, each image including facial landmarks of an audience member viewing the content during its duration, and for each image, transforms the facial landmarks to a lower dimensional facial representation, resulting in multiple lower dimensional facial representations of each audience member. For each of a subset of the lower dimensional facial representations of each audience member, the software code utilizes the predictive model to predict one or more responses to the content, resulting in multiple predictions for each audience member, and classifies one or more time segment(s) in the duration of the content based on an aggregate of the predictions.
