Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system for ranking videos. Videos are identified that have been presented at client devices. For each video, session start data is identified that specifies a lead video that initiated presentation to a user during a presentation session. For each lead video, presentation times over multiple user sessions are determined, a scaled presentation time is obtained, user sessions for which the lead video initiated presentation of videos are identified, and an aggregate video presentation time attributable to the lead video is determined. For each given video, a presentation score is determined based on a scaled presentation time of the lead video relative to a sum of the aggregate video presentation times for the lead videos. The videos are ranked based on the presentation scores. A user interface is updated to present the ranked videos.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more memory devices including instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
identifying, for a given video, session start data specifying that the given video was a lead video that initiated video presentation to one or more users during multiple user sessions;
for each of at least some user sessions among the multiple user sessions:
classifying the lead video as one of an in-service initiated video presentation or a remotely initiated video presentation;
and
applying a scaling factor to one or more presentation times for remotely initiated video presentations of the lead video, wherein the scaling factor increases a value corresponding to remotely initiated video presentations relative to in-service video presentations;
determining a video presentation time attributable to the given video as a lead video based on a total presentation time of other videos during the multiple user sessions that were initiated with the given video as the lead video;
and
generating a creator score for a creator that supplies the given video based on the presentation time attributable to the given video as the lead video.

8 more elements

A method comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors and for a given video, session start data specifying that the given video was a lead video that initiated video presentation to one or more users during multiple user sessions;
for each of at least some user sessions among the multiple user sessions:
classifying the lead video as one of an in-service initiated video presentation or a remotely initiated video presentation;
and
applying a scaling factor to one or more presentation times for remotely initiated video presentations of the lead video, wherein the scaling factor increases a value corresponding to remotely initiated video presentations relative to in-service video presentations;
determining, by the one or more processors, a video presentation time attributable to the given video as a lead video based on a total presentation time of other videos during the multiple user sessions that were initiated with the given video as the lead video;
and
generating, by the one or more processors, a creator score for a creator that supplies the given video based on the presentation time attributable to the given video as the lead video.

5 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of operations comprising:

identifying, for a given video, session start data specifying that the given video was a lead video that initiated video presentation to one or more users during multiple user sessions;
for each of at least some user sessions among the multiple user sessions:
classifying the lead video as one of an in-service initiated video presentation or a remotely initiated video presentation;
and
applying a scaling factor to one or more presentation times for remotely initiated video presentations of the lead video, wherein the scaling factor increases a value corresponding to remotely initiated video presentations relative to in-service video presentations;
determining a video presentation time attributable to the given video as a lead video based on a total presentation time of other videos during the multiple user sessions that were initiated with the given video as the lead video;
and
generating a creator score for a creator that supplies the given video based on the presentation time attributable to the given video as the lead video.
