Techniques are provided for using machine learning techniques to associate skills with different content. In one technique, multiple classifications models are trained. Each classification model corresponds to a different skill and is trained based on textual embeddings of a plurality of content items and labels indicating whether each content item is associated with the skill that corresponds to that classification model. A particular content item embedding is generated based on text from a particular content item. The particular content item embedding is applied to the classification models to generate multiple results. One or more results of the multiple results are identified that indicate that one or more corresponding skills are associated with the particular content item. For each result of the one or more results, skill tagging data are stored that associate the particular content item with a particular skill that corresponds to that result.

Machine learning for associating skills with content

Techniques for classifying videos as standalone or non-standalone are provided. Feature (or attribute) values associated with a particular video are identified. Feature values are extracted from metadata associated with the particular video and/or from within a transcript of the particular video. The extracted feature values of the particular video are input to a rule-based or a machine-learned model and the model scores the particular video. Once a determination pertaining to whether the particular video is standalone is made, information about the particular video being a standalone video is presented to one or more users within the network.
