In one example, a method is described. The method includes obtaining an advertisement pod. The advertisement pod is a consecutive set of advertisements shown in media content. The method includes identifying transitions in the advertisement pod; and applying, using a model, an advertisement pod profile of a plurality of advertisement pod profiles to the advertisement pod. The plurality of advertisement pod profiles are templates representing advertisement pods, and the advertisement pod profile includes known transitions corresponding to start times and end times of advertisements. The method includes determining that the known transitions of the advertisement pod profile overlap with at least a portion of the transitions of the advertisement pod such that the advertisement pod profile corresponds to the advertisement pod; and outputting data associated with the known transitions of the advertisement pod profile overlapping at least a portion of the transitions of the advertisement pod.
