Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating virtual reality scenes from a textual document. The textual document is parsed to identify a plurality of text portions corresponding to a plurality of scenes. Each of the plurality of text portions is analyzed to identify a plurality of nouns and a plurality of related verbs. A virtual reality (VR) scene including a plurality of VR objects depicted as performing a set of actions is generated for each of the plurality of text portions, based on the nouns and related verbs identified in the corresponding text portion. Each VR scene includes at least one portal which a user may interact with to view another VR scene and the set of actions in a VR scene may be repeated while the VR scene is being viewed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to identify jump points indicative of potential time points from which to resume consumption of the media asset in response to receiving a request to skip a portion of a media asset being consumed. The jump points include a first jump point identified based on a content viewing profile and a second jump point identified based on a scene information associated with the media asset. A preview image is displayed at each of the identified jump points. Systems and methods are also described to pause the skipping operation at the identified jump points and provide a preview at the respective jump points. Systems and method are further described to identify jump points based on analysis of the portion of the media asset being skipped.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a reply to a query are provided. A query about an event in a content recording during playback of the content recording is received. A type of the event based on the query is determined. A playback position in a timeline of the content recording is determined. Based on the type of the event, an event distribution table is obtained, the table comprising one or more event identifiers and one or more corresponding occurrence times for the one or more event identifiers in the timeline of the content recording. The playback position of the content recording to the one or more occurrence times is compared. A reply to the query is generated, for aural or visual presentation, the reply being based on a result of the comparing, the reply comprising data about at least one event corresponding to the one or more event identifiers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to search for content recommendations, and in particular, for generating emoji-based metadata for content and processing an emoji-based query using the emoji-based metadata. A system may receive a query comprising a text portion and an emoji portion. A system may search a database to identify content items associated with the query based on the text portion and the emoji portion, wherein the searching based on the emoji portion is based at least in part on matching emojis associated with a content item. A system may retrieve, for each of the content items, an emoji match score based on the emoji portion and a textual match score based on the text portion. A system generates, for each of the content items, a respective aggregate score based on the respective emoji match score and textual match score. A system may generate for display representations of the content items ordered according to the respective aggregate scores.
