SPEAKER BIO

With a wealth of video services and increasing amounts of high-quality content, it’s becoming more challenging but also more important for video service providers to make sure consumers find the right content quickly. Because if they don’t, the viewers might look elsewhere. Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence make it possible to improve Content Discovery and Improve the User Experience in a scalable and automated way, however, do come with their own challenges that need to be addressed.

In this talk, Martin will present some recent insights, technical challenges, and lessons learned from creating applications, in which we use AI to help the viewer select the right content quickly:

  • Automatically generating appealing episodic thumbnails as a replacement for stock images
  • Automatic detection of end-credits, as a means to skip them for better binge viewing
  • Creating trending tv topics, by analyzing videos to identify the key topics, and pointing viewers to specific parts of a video.
  • Find and follow your topic of interest: recommendations based on only the parts of the program someone viewed and is interested in.
