The present disclosure is directed to positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive data indicating a selection of a particular animated image from amongst a plurality of different animated images presented by a dynamic keyboard interface provided in association with an application; receive data indicating a context of: the dynamic keyboard interface, and/or the application based at least in part on which the plurality of different animated images was selected for presentation by the dynamic keyboard interface; and determine, based at least in part on the data indicating the selection and the data indicating the context, a position within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the particular animated image in response to data indicating a subsequent context of the dynamic keyboard interface, the application, and/or a different and distinct application.

Methods and systems for positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface

The present disclosure is directed to positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive, from a user device on which an application is executed, data indicating a context of: the application, and/or a dynamic keyboard interface provided in association with the application; identify, based at least in part on the data indicating the context, a plurality of different animated images, including an animated image comprising an advertisement, for presentation by the dynamic keyboard interface; communicate, to the user device, data indicating the plurality of different animated images; receive, from the user device, data indicating a selection of the animated image comprising the advertisement; and determine, based at least in part on the data indicating the selection and the data indicating the context, a position within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the animated image comprising the advertisement.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a computer-implemented method including receiving, by a user computing device, data that describes a destination for the media content item. Example destinations can include a location of a recipient of message including the media content item and a digital location (e.g., website, social networking page, etc.). The method can include selecting, by a computing system comprising the user computing device, one or more media content items based on the data that describes the destination for the media content item. Media content items that are more relevant and/or appropriate can be selected by considering the destination of the media content item. The selected media content item(s) can be provided for display by the user computing device in a dynamic keyboard interface.

Systems and methods for improved searching and categorizing of media content items based on a destination for the media content machine learning

The present disclosure is directed to generating animated images for presentation by a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive data describing advertisement content, and data describing a first context in which to present the advertisement content; generate data describing a first animated image including at least a portion of the advertisement content; determine a second context in which to present the advertisement content; generate data describing a second animated image including at least a portion of the advertisement content; and communicate, to one or more user devices on which one or more applications are executed, data indicating a plurality of different animated images for presentation by a dynamic keyboard interface in association with the one or more applications, the plurality of different animated images comprising the first animated image and the second animated image.

Methods and systems for generating animated images for presentation by a dynamic keyboard interface

A computer-implemented method can include receiving, by a computing system including one or more computing devices, data describing a media content item that includes a plurality of image frames for sequential display. The method can include inputting, by the computing system, the data describing the media content item into a machine-learned temporal analysis model that is configured to receive the data describing the media content item, and in response to receiving the data describing the media content item, output temporal analysis data that describes temporal information associated with sequentially viewing the plurality of image frames of the media content item. The method can include receiving, by the computing system and as an output of the machine-learned temporal analysis model, the temporal analysis data.

Systems and methods for extracting temporal information from animated media content items using machine learning

Various embodiments relate generally to a system, a device and a method for expression-based retrieval of expressive media content. A request may be received to search for content items in a media content management system. Media content items may be procured from different content sources through application programming interfaces, user devices, and/or web servers. Media content items may be analyzed to determine one or more metadata attributes, including an expressions. Metadata attributes may be stored as one or more content associations. The media content items may be stored and categorized based on the content associations. A search router rules engine may determine search intent based on the search query, which may include a pictorial representation of an expression, such as an emoji. A dynamic interface may be integrated in a device operating system through various access points, including a button, a trigger key, a keyword trigger, and an overlay button.

Integrated dynamic interface for expression-based retrieval of expressive media content

Providing a method for creating and displaying portions of videos called video previews. The video previews may be associated with audio, such that when the video previews are activated, the audio may play with the video preview. When multiple video previews are organized to play as a playable group or composite of video previews, a corresponding composite audio file can play in response to an activation of the composite.

Video preview creation with audio

Methods, systems, and apparatus can provide ordered (e.g. ranked) lists of content items as a suggested list of items to watch. The ordered list can be based on feedback from other users. The content items can also be presented (e.g. in a continuous playback mode) to a passive user so that the user does not have to actively select a next item to watch. This passive mode can select a next item (e.g. from a list that is updated based on recent user feedback), and the item can be queued on a client device for playing to a user. Content items can also be provided from different independent servers.

Prioritization in a continuous video playback experience

Providing a method for organizing portions of videos called video previews. The video previews may be associated with a playable group (e.g., one or more other videos that play simultaneously), a video channel (e.g., a collection of videos), or in a particular order for a viewer to browse. Each video channel or video in a channel can provide short, playable video preview that users can use to better decide whether to watch the full video or video channel.
