    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for caching content items. At least first and second content items are stored in a cache. A determination is made as to whether there is common content between the first content item and the second content item. In response to determining that there is common content between the first content item and the second content item, at least a portion of one of the first content item and the second content item is deleted. A request for the common content is received. In response to receiving the request for the common content, the common content is retrieved from the other of the first content item and the second content item.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for summarizing captions, configuring playback speed, and rewriting the caption file for a media asset are disclosed. The system determines whether to display the original captions or a summarized version of the captions, which are based on user's language proficiency level, reading pace, and historical data, and can be generated either on-demand or automatically when rewinds and pauses are detected. The caption file which includes the original captions can be rewritten. The system determines whether to stream a caption or a rewritten file to a media device based on user or system selections. In the absence of a caption file, or when the caption file cannot be summarized, the playback speed of the media asset is slowed down to provide additional reading time to the user.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving provider and consumer control of content items, channels, accounts, subscriptions, and related information including metadata. The information regarding the content items, channels, accounts, subscriptions, and related information including metadata is structured into formats suitable for determining past, present, and future user interest in content, likelihood to consume the content, and relatedness of content items. The determinations are used to generate recommendations. Content providers are provided with options to customize conditions of the determinations, the recommendations, and offers based on the same to be provided to consumers. Users are provided with the recommendations and are presented with options to change channel line-ups and subscriptions, including automatic changes based on selected parameters. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.
