A system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a memory storing software code and a machine learning (ML) model-based feature classifier. When executed, the software code receives media content including a first media component corresponding to a first media mode and a second media component corresponding to a second media mode, encodes the first media component using a first encoder to generate multiple first embedding vectors, and encodes the second media component using a second encoder to generate multiple second embedding vectors. The software code further combines the first embedding vectors and the second embedding vectors to provide an input data structure for a neural network mixer, process, using the neural network mixer, the input data structure to provide feature data corresponding to a feature of the media content, and predict, using the ML model-based feature classifier and the feature data, a classification of the feature.

Multi-modal content based automated feature recognition

A system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a system memory storing software code and a machine learning (ML) model. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive from a client, a request for a dataset, the request identifying a content type of the dataset, obtain the dataset having the content type, and select, based on the content type, an anonymization technique for the dataset, the anonymization technique selected so as to render at least one feature included in the dataset recognizable but unidentifiable. The processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to anonymize, using the ML model and the selected anonymization technique, the at least one feature included in the dataset, and to output to the client, in response to the request, an anonymized dataset including the at least one anonymized feature.

Machine learning model-based content anonymization

A video content matching system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. When executed, the software code obtains a reference digital profile of a reference video segment, obtains a target digital profile of target video content, and compares the reference and target digital profiles to detect a candidate video segment of the target video content for matching to the reference video segment. The software code also frame aligns reference video frames of the reference video segment with corresponding candidate video frames of the candidate video segment to provide frame aligned video frame pairs, pixel aligns the frame aligned video frame pairs to produce frame and pixel aligned video frame pairs, and identifies, using the frame and pixel aligned video frame pairs, the candidate video segment as a matching video segment or a non-matching video segment for the reference video segment.

Fast video content matching

A content segmentation system includes a computing platform having processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code and a trained machine learning model. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive content, the content including multiple sections each having multiple content blocks in sequence, to select one of the sections for segmentation, and to identify, for each of the content blocks of the selected section, at least one respective representative unit of content. The software code is further executed to generate, using the at least one respective representative unit of content, a respective embedding vector for each of the content blocks of the selected section to provide a multiple embedding vectors, and to predict, using the trained machine learning model and the embedding vectors, subsections of the selected section, at least some of the subsections including more than one of the content blocks.

Automated content segmentation and identification of fungible content

A system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a memory storing software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive an image having a plurality of image regions, determine a boundary of each of the image regions to identify a plurality of bounded image regions, and identify, within each of the bounded image regions, one or more image sub-regions to identify a plurality of image sub-regions. The processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to identify, within each of the bounded image regions, one or more first features, respectively, identify, within each of the image sub-regions, one or more second features, respectively, and provided an annotated image by annotating each of the bounded image regions using the respective first features and annotating each of the image sub-regions using the respective second features.

Automated image analysis and indexing

According to one implementation, a system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, a system memory storing a software code; and a machine learning model based classifier. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive tagging quality assurance (QA) data including multiple terms applied as tags and corrections to those tags, to identify, using the tagging QA data, a first problematic term, and to classify, using the machine learning model based classifier, the first problematic term as one of confusing or flawed. The processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to obtain, when the first problematic term is classified as confusing, a comparative sample for clarifying use of the first problematic term, and to obtain, when the first problematic term is classified as flawed, modification data for editing a predetermined annotation taxonomy including the first problematic term.

Performance-based evolution of content annotation taxonomies

A method includes producing a filter mask based on a blur mask and a saliency mask and identifying locations of a plurality of bounding boxes of a plurality of objects of interest in a received image. The method also includes applying the filter mask to the received image and to the locations of the plurality of bounding boxes in the received image to remove at least one object of interest from consideration. The method further includes performing a comparison of a location of a bounding box of the plurality of bounding boxes of an object of interest remaining in consideration to a predetermined safe region of the received image and generating a validation result based on the comparison.

Automatic occlusion detection

A method includes generating a delicate area map by performing a morphological function on a portion of a received first image and identifying a plurality of edges in the first image, the plurality of edges comprising a plurality of pixels. The method also includes verifying a first contrast metric for a first subset of pixels that are in the plurality of pixels but not in the delicate area map, verifying a second contrast metric for a second subset of pixels that are in the plurality of pixels and in the delicate area map, and generating a validation result based on the verifying of the first contrast metric and the verifying of the second contrast metric.

Automatic low contrast detection

A tunable signal sampling system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code that when executed receives a communications signal, identifies data partitions included in the communications signal, performs, using a first predetermined metric, a first set of comparisons each comparing a different sequential pair of the data partitions with each other, and selects, based on the first set of comparisons, a subset of the data partitions as candidate sample partitions of the communications signal. The software code also determines multiple default sample partitions of the communications signal, performs, using a second predetermined metric, a second set of comparisons each comparing a different one of the default sample partitions with a respective one of the candidate sample partitions, and extracts, using a predetermined weighting factor applied to the results of the second set of comparisons, a sample of the communications signal.
