Systems and methods for rating videos based on parental feedback axe presented. In an aspect, a method is provided that includes providing supervisory users respectively having a supervisory role over other users access to watch histories of respective ones of the other users and receiving feedback from the supervisory users regarding appropriateness of a video for the other users, respectively. The method further includes determining an age rating for the media item based on an average age of the other users that the feedback indicates the video is appropriate for, and recommending the video to a user for watching based on the user having an age that satisfies the age rating.

Rating videos based on parental feedback

Implementations disclose identifying content appropriate for children. A method includes selecting a list of candidate channels from a plurality of channels based on an automatically generated rating of each of the plurality of channels, filtering the list of candidate channels based on feedback received from a first group of reviewers with respect to appropriateness of content of each candidate channel for children, selecting a list of candidate videos based on an automatically generated rating of each video from every channel in the filtered list of candidate channels, and upon receiving, via a graphical user interface, a confirmation that a candidate video from the list of candidate videos is appropriate for children, setting a confirmation indicator of the candidate video to enable presentation of the candidate video to children.

Identifying content appropriate for children via a blend of algorithmic content curation and human review

Systems and methods for rating videos based on parental feedback are presented. In an aspect, a method is provided that includes providing supervisory users respectively having a supervisory role over other users access to watch histories of respective ones of the other users and receiving feedback from the supervisory users regarding appropriateness of a video for the other users, respectively. The method further includes determining an age rating for the media item based on an average age of the other users that the feedback indicates the video is appropriate for, and recommending the video to a user for watching based on the user having an age that satisfies the age rating.

Systems and methods for automatically detecting scenes in a video based on parameters employed to encode the video are presented. In one or more aspects, a system is provided that includes a scene identification component configured to analyze a video comprising a plurality of sequential frames, including a plurality of intra-frames (I-frames) and a plurality of predictive frames (P-frames), and identify N groups of adjacent frames constituting N scenes of the video based in part on respective locations of the I-frames throughout the plurality of sequential frames, where N is an integer. The system further includes a video clip generation component configured to generate one or more video clips from one or more of the N scenes of the video, respectively, using portions of frames respectively associated with the one or more scenes of the N scenes of the video.
