  • Publication number: 20220253715
    Abstract: Processor-based systems and/or methods of operation may generate queries and suggest legacy narrative content (e.g., video content, script content) for a narrative under development. An artificial neural network (ANN, e.g., autoencoder) is trained on pairs of video and text vectors to capture attributes or nuances beyond those typical of keyword searching. Query vector representations generated using an instance of the ANN may be matched against candidate vector representations, for instance generated using an instance of the ANN from legacy narratives. Such may query for missing video and/or text for a narrative under development. Matches may be returned, including scores or ranks. Feature vectors may be shared without jeopardizing source narrative content. Legacy source narrative content may remain secure behind a controlling entity's network security wall.

  • Patent number: 10922489
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide input to and facilitate various operations of media production. An automated script content generator uses recurrent artificial neural networks trained using machine learning on a corpus of stories or scripts to generate and suggest script content and indicates effects changes to the script would have of the scenes, characters, interactions and other entities of the script. An automated producer breaks down the script to automatically generate storyboards, calendars, schedules and budgets and provides this as input to the pre-production operation within a media production environment. The system also provides information to affect and facilitate the greenlighting operation and other operations in the media production environment in an iterative script review and revision process.
