Systems and methods for selecting content items and generating multimedia content

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
• detecting a trigger event for generating a multimedia content item designed to reflect an event associated with a user account, wherein the multimedia content item includes video content;
• identifying a set of content items associated with the user account;
• acquiring the set of content items and information associated with of the set of content items or the user account;
• determining relevance of each content item of the set of the content items relative to the user or user account based on the information;
• ranking the relevance of the set of content items based on a ranking algorithm,
• wherein the ranking algorithm increases rankings for at least some content items determined by an image classification process to contain one or more faces;
• and
• wherein the ranking algorithm ranks the set of content items containing one or more faces based on affinity coefficients between the user account and one or more persons identified by a facial recognition technique from the one or more faces;
• selecting a subset of content items out of the set of content items, wherein each content item in the subset satisfies one or more ranking thresholds;
• and
• generating the multimedia content item based on the subset of content items, wherein generating the multimedia content item comprises:
• converting non-visual content items in the subset of content items into image representations of the non-visual content items, wherein the non-visual content items include at least one of a text, a post, a status update, or an audio item;
• and
• placing the image representations of the non-visual content items into the video content.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform:

• detecting a trigger event for generating a multimedia content item designed to reflect an event associated with a user account, wherein the multimedia content item includes video content;
• identifying a set of content items associated with the user account;
• acquiring the set of content items and information associated with of the set of content items or the user account;
• determining relevance of each content item of the set of the content items relative to the user or user account based on the information;
• ranking the relevance of the set of content items based on a ranking algorithm,
• wherein the ranking algorithm increases rankings for at least some content items determined by an image classification process to contain one or more faces;
• and
• wherein the ranking algorithm ranks the set of content items containing one or more faces based on affinity coefficients between the user account and one or more persons identified by a facial recognition technique from the one or more faces;
• selecting a subset of content items out of the set of content items, wherein each content item in the subset satisfies one or more ranking thresholds;
• and
• generating the multimedia content item based on the subset of content items, wherein generating the multimedia content item comprises:
• converting non-visual content items in the subset of content items into image representations of the non-visual content items, wherein the non-visual content items include at least one of a text, a post, a status update, or an audio item;
• and
• placing the image representations of the non-visual content items into the video content.
