Abstract

A method for selecting and inserting contextually relevant advertisements into a video stream, executed by a processing system in a network server computing device, encompasses receiving a primary video stream with potential advertisement insertion points indicated by SCTE35/SCTE104 markers, extracting an audio segment from this stream before an advertisement break, obtaining audio from potential advertisements, transcribing both primary and secondary audio segments into textual data, performing semantic analysis and tokenization on this data, creating vector embeddings, and normalizing these embeddings for a feed-forward neural network. The method further involves determining semantic similarity scores between the primary and secondary content through a transformer-based AI model, generating a similarity matrix from these scores, identifying the most contextually aligned advertisement based on these scores, and inserting this advertisement at an indicated break point in the primary video stream.
