Unsupervised cue point discovery for episodic content

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• at least one processor each coupled to at least one of the memories and configured to perform operations comprising:
• dividing a video associated with an episode of an episodic content into a plurality of sections;
• determining a representation for each of the plurality of sections;
• comparing a first representation associated with a first section of the plurality of sections of the video with a plurality of representations, wherein the plurality of representations are associated with one or more sections of one or more episodes of the episodic content;
• determining a plurality of similarity values for the first representation based on the comparison;
• determining one or more of the plurality of similarity values that satisfy a condition;
• determining a temporal position associated with the first representation in response to the one or more of the plurality of similarity values satisfying the condition;
• and
• using the temporal position associated with the first representation to determine a type of the first section of the plurality of sections of the video.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• dividing a video associated with an episode of an episodic content into a plurality of sections;
• determining a representation for each of the plurality of sections;
• comparing a first representation associated with a first section of the plurality of sections of the video with a plurality of representations, wherein the plurality of representations are associated with one or more sections of one or more episodes of the episodic content;
• determining a plurality of similarity values for the first representation based on the comparison;
• determining one or more of the plurality of similarity values that satisfy a condition;
• determining a temporal position associated with the first representation in response to the one or more of the plurality of similarity values satisfying the condition;
• and
• using the temporal position associated with the first representation to determine a type of the first section of the plurality of sections of the video, wherein the type of the first section comprises an opening credits section, an end credits section, a recap section, or a behind-the-scenes section.
