• identify a pause point during consumption of media data at which a user stops the consumption of the media data;
• determine a portion of content preceding the identified pause point, wherein the portion is determined based on at least one of a user preference and a factor regarding the consumption of the media data by the user;
• analyze the portion of content by using natural language processing techniques regarding interrelations between words of the portion of content to identify changes in content concepts in the portion of content, wherein the analyzing includes determining a respective rank of each of the changes that corresponds to how large each respective change is compared to others of the changes;
• identify one or more continuation points for the user to return to the content based on how changes in the content concepts in the portion of content as indicated by respective ranks of each of the changes correspond to one or more factors that identify how the user prefers to reconsume the media data;
• and
• indicate the one or more continuation points to the user.
