  • Patent number: 12382139
    Abstract: Methods and systems for time marking of media items at a platform using machine-learning are provided herein. An indication of a identified media item is provided as input to a machine-learning model and one or more outputs of the machine-learning model is obtained. The one or more obtained outputs comprise time marks identifying each of the plurality of content segments of the media item. Each of the plurality of content segments is associated with a segment start indicator for a timeline of the media item.
