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: A method and system for controlling media-content presentation based on user presence and/or user profile. An example method includes a computing system determining a quantity of users present at a media-presentation device, the quantity being at least one. Further, the example method includes, based on the determining, the computing system using the determined quantity of users present at the media-presentation device as a basis to control what media content a media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device. For instance, based on the determined quantity of users the computing system could tailor a graphical user interface (GUI) that the media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device, such as by tailoring a set of channel options that a channel-selection GUI provides, among other possibilities.

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: A method and system for controlling media-content presentation. An example method includes a computing system detecting that a media-player device has moved from a home location of the media-player device to a visited location and that the media-player device is connected with a media-presentation device at the visited location. Further, the example method includes, responsive to the detecting, the computing system causing the media-player device to output, for presentation by the media-presentation device at the visited location, media content selected by the computing system based on the media-player device having moved from the home location to the visited location. For instance, the computing system could cause the media-player device to output, for presentation by the media-presentation device, a message welcoming a user to the visited location and/or information about the visited location such as information about tourist attractions at the visited location for instance.
