Look-ahead for video segments

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage device having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and executable by a computer to:

• receive a pre-recorded video, wherein the pre-recorded video is directed to a main topic;
• partition the pre-recorded video into sub-topic segments, wherein each sub-topic segment is about a sub-topic of the main topic;
• identify previous entities' responses while previous entities utilized sub-topic segments from the pre-recorded video;
• compare a current entity's responses to the previous entities' responses that occurred while one or more precursory sub-topic segments are presented before a particular sub-topic segment in the pre-recorded video;
• and
• in response to the current entity's responses matching the previous entities' responses that occurred while one or more of the precursory sub-topic segments are presented before the particular sub-topic segment in the pre-recorded video, execute a particular response that was executed for the previous entities, wherein the particular response is executed on behalf of the current entity in response to the one or more precursory sub-topic segments being presented to the current entity.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more computer readable memories, operably coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more computer readable memories store program instructions for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the stored program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive a pre-recorded video, wherein the pre-recorded video is directed to a main topic;
• program instructions to partition the pre-recorded video into sub-topic segments, wherein each sub-topic segment is about a sub-topic of the main topic;
• program instructions to identify previous entities' responses while previous entities utilized sub-topic segments from the pre-recorded video;
• program instructions to compare a current entity's responses to the previous entities' responses that occurred while one or more precursory sub-topic segments are presented before a particular sub-topic segment in the pre-recorded video;
• and
• program instructions to, in response to the current entity's responses matching the previous entities' responses that occurred while one or more of the precursory sub-topic segments are presented before the particular sub-topic segment in the pre-recorded video, execute a particular response that was executed for the previous entities, wherein the particular response is executed on behalf of the current entity in response to the one or more precursory sub-topic segments being presented to the current entity.
