    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for personalizing a user interface (UI) of a media device and/or content presented thereby. An example embodiment operates by obtaining a first natural language user input, providing the first natural language user input to a personalization language model that is configured to interpret different natural language user inputs to respectively determine different update tasks invoked thereby, the different update tasks including a UI update task and a content update task, receiving from the model a first update task determined thereby based at least on the first natural language user input, generating one or more first application programming interface (API) calls based on the first update task, and placing the one or more first API calls to a service that implements the first update task based on the one or more first API calls.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments, for a content display and clustering system. An example embodiment operates by receiving a request to display the plurality of content items. At each of multiple levels different pairs of content items are identified and a similarity score is computed for each pair. A subset of pairs for which their similarity score exceeds a similarity threshold for the respective level are identified and clustered. This process is repeated for one or more iterations at the same level, and then the process is repeated for each of the multiple levels. A final clustered subset is identified, and output for display, responsive to the request to display the plurality of content items.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for generating a scene emotion value for a scene based on a sequence of frame emotion values for a sequence of frames within the scene of a content. The content can include multiple scenes, and a scene can include multiple frames, where a frame emotion value can be generated for each frame. A frame emotion value can be generated based on scene metadata related to the scene, content metadata related to the content, and a frame metadata related to the frame.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for optimizing user experience/engagement and revenue. An example embodiment operates by a computer-implemented method for providing one or more advertisements to a media device. The method includes receiving, by at least one computer processor, a user state associated with a user of the media device, where the user state corresponds to a time step. The method further includes receiving a revenue value associated with the user of the media device, where the revenue value corresponds to the time step. The method also include determining an action associated with the user based on the user state and the revenue value. The action includes one or more parameters associated with the one or more advertisements. The method further includes providing the action to the user.

    Abstract: Disclosed are mechanisms for selecting a recommended item for a current item being viewed by a user account based on a view history of the user account with reduced bias. For a current item being viewed by the user account represented by a current node of a co-watch graph, embodiments can select a recommended item represented by an associated node in the co-watch graph likely being viewed by the user account, and determine a probability of the recommended item likely being viewed. The co-watch graph can be generated based on a view history of the user account. An edge between a first node and a second node of the co-watch graph can have a weight representing a number of co-occurrence times when the first item represented by the first node and the second item represented by the second node are viewed in sequence within a predetermined time interval.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations thereof, for training a conversational recommendation system. An embodiment generates a probabilistic pseudo-user neural network model based on at least one interest probability distribution corresponding to a pseudo-user profile. The embodiment trains, using the pseudo-user neural network model, the conversational recommendation system to learn a recommendation policy, where the conversational recommendation system includes an interest-exploration engine and a prompt-decision engine. The training includes performing an iterative learning process that includes selecting an interest-exploration strategy based on one or more of the following: an interest-exploration policy, an earlier pseudo-user response generated by the pseudo-user neural network model, content data, and pseudo-user interaction history. The embodiment then generates, using the trained conversational recommendation system, a real-time recommendation having high play probability based on the minimal number of iterations of conversation between a user and the trained conversational recommendation system.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product aspects, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for generating trailers (previews) for multimedia content. An example aspect operates by generating an initial set of candidate points to generate a trailer for a media content; determining conversion data for each of the initial set of candidate points; determining an updated set of candidate points based on the conversion data; determining an estimated mean and upper bound for each of the updated set of candidate points; computing a value for each of the updated set of candidate points; generating a ranked list based on the value computed for each of the updated set of candidate points; and repeating the process until an optimal candidate point is converged upon.
