    Abstract: In various embodiments, a quality trainer trains a model that computes a value for a perceptual video quality metric for encoded video content. During a pre-training phase, the quality trainer partitions baseline values for metrics that describe baseline encoded video content into partitions based on genre. The quality trainer then performs cross-validation operations on the partitions to optimize hyperparameters associated with the model. Subsequently, during a training phase, the quality trainer performs training operations on the model that includes the optimized hyperparameters based on the baseline values for the metrics to generate a trained model. The trained model accurately tracks the video quality for the baseline encoded video content. Further, because the cross-validation operations minimize any potential overfitting, the trained model accurately and consistently predicts perceived video quality for non-baseline encoded video content across a wide range of genres.
