Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for the detection of boring media. An example apparatus includes a feature calculator to determine at least a first feature and a second feature associated with at least one of a video feed or an audio feed of monitored media when a media monitoring code is not detected in the monitored media, the first and second features representing different characteristics of at least one of the video feed or the audio feed, and a boring media event determiner implemented by hardware or at least one processor to process the first and second features with a neural network, propagate a code absence alert to a first server when an output of the neural network does not satisfy a threshold, and propagate a boring media event notification to a second server when the output of the neural network does satisfy the threshold.
