A computing system described herein is configured to obtain a video of a video game being played by a video game player, where an esports competition includes play of the video game by the video game player. The computing system is additionally configured to identify, in the video and through use of machine vision technologies, occurrence of an event in the video game depicted in the video, where the machine vision technologies have been trained to detect occurrences of the event in videos, and further where an outcome of the esports competition is based upon the occurrence of the event in the video game. The computing system is additionally configured to output a value that is indicative of the occurrence of the event in the video game depicted in the video, where a score for the video game player is updated in the esports competition based upon the value that is indicative of the occurrence of the event in the video game depicted in the video.

A method of selectively providing different types of search engine results to different searchers is provided. A browsing history for each of a plurality of unique identities is logged. A unique identity is associated with a rich segment experience responsive to the browsing history for the unique identity satisfying correlation criteria of the rich segment experience. The rich segment experience is configured to present curated segment-specific information with other search results on a search result web page. Responsive to receiving a search query from the unique identity previously associated with the rich segment experience, the rich segment experience is presented with other search results on the search result web page. Responsive to receiving the search query from a different unique identity not previously associated with the rich segment experience, other search results are presented without the rich segment experience on the search result web page.

Selective presentation of rich experiences in search

A computing system obtains a video of a video game being played, where an esports competition includes play of the video game by a video game player. The computing system identifies, in the video and through use of machine vision technologies, occurrence of an event in the video game depicted in the video, where the machine vision technologies have been trained to detect occurrences of the event in videos, and further where an outcome of the esports competition is based upon the occurrence of the event in the video game. The computing system also outputs a value that is indicative of the occurrence of the event in the video game depicted in the video, where a score for the video game player is updated in the esports competition based upon the value.

Detecting events in a livestream video of a video game in an esports COMPEITlION

A method, at a server computer, for verifying the results of an electronic game includes obtaining a unique identifier from a client device running a game application. The server computer then receives, from the client device, video information in a real-time video stream. The video information is evaluated at the server computer using a machine learning model to identify a virtual object in a first frame of the video information and identify the virtual object in a second frame of the video information. The method also includes determining a change in the virtual object between the first frame and the second frame and comparing the change to one or more rules of a ruleset. The method includes determining a legality of the change in the virtual object based at least partially on the ruleset. If an illegal event is identified, the change is presented to a moderator for review.

A method of presenting video information to a user includes, at a server computer, obtaining video information including a plurality of frame from a real-time video stream of an electronic game and obtaining ML model data. The method includes determining a presence of at least one event in the video information using a ML model and the ML model data to identify the at least one event. Upon receiving a query from a user for the presence of the at least on event in the video information, the method includes denoting a presence of the at least one event in the video information associated with at least one frame of the plurality of frames of the video information and presenting to the user a visual representation of the at least one frame of the plurality of frames of the video information associated with the at least one event.

Systems and methods for querying video information of electronic games

Described herein is a mechanism for creating a dynamic video highlight from a plurality of video segments. A metadata collection agent collects metadata comprising attributes about a video, segments within the video where one or more events occur, attributes about the creator of the video and so forth. The metadata is collected and used to create highlight video definitions comprising a set of metadata attribute-value pairs. The highlight video definitions can be created in an interactive fashion by presenting a user interface allowing selection of a combination of attribute-value pairs to include/exclude segments from the definition and/or manual selection of custom segments. The highlight video definitions can be stored and/or shared among users. The video highlight definitions are utilized to instantiate one or more video players to play the video segments in an identified order without assembling the video segments into a separate video.

Systems and methods for receiving various input data, processing said input data, and utilizing artificial emotional intelligence to analyze said input data to return calculated response stimuli are provided. Various electronic devices may be utilized to acquire input data related to a specific user, a group of users, or environments. This input data, which may comprise tone of voice, facial expressions, social media profiles, and surrounding environmental data, may be compared with past data related to a certain user, group of users, or environment. The systems and methods herein may employ artificial emotional intelligence to evaluate the aggregated data and provide a response stimulus to a user or group of users. The response stimulus may be in the form of uplifting/encouraging music, quotes, pictures, jokes, suggestions, etc. The purpose of providing the response stimuli is to significantly increase the productivity of meetings, conversations, and other interactions across electronic devices.

EQ-digital conversation assistant

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing a user interface (UI) for monitoring and debugging an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatting hot. One method includes operations for receiving a selection on the UI to replay an electronic conversation between a first and a second party, selecting conversation data associated with the electronic conversation from a data log having conversation data from several electronic conversations, and analyzing the conversation data to identify conversation parameters. The conversation parameters include text in each entry of the electronic conversation, timing of the entries, and debugging parameters for each entry. The method further includes an operation for causing presentation of the electronic conversation on the UI, which includes presenting the text of each entry, the audio corresponding to speech associated with each entry timed according to the timing of the entry, and the debugging parameters embedded within the presented text.

Conversational log replay with voice and debugging information

Described herein are technologies that facilitate representing instances in time over 62 orders of magnitude as well as graphically depicting events over various time ranges and resolutions in time. A filter window is selected as a function of a resolution of a display, such filter window is applied over a representation of an instant in time. The position of the filter window along the representation of the instant in time defines a resolution in time, and such resolution in time is utilized to select graphical objects for display.
