Language agnostic drift correction

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for language-agnostic subtitle drift detection and correction. A method may include determining subtitles and/or captions from media content (e.g., videos), the subtitles and/or captions corresponding to dialog in the media content. The subtitles may be broken up into segments which may be analyzed to determine a likelihood of drift (e.g., a likelihood that the subtitles are out of synchronization with the dialog in the media content) for each segment. For segments with a high likelihood of drift, the subtitles may be incrementally adjusted to determine an adjustment that eliminates and/or reduces the amount of drift, and the drift in the segment may be corrected based on the drift amount detected. A linear regression model and/or human blocks determined by human operators may be used to otherwise optimize drift correction.
