Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically activating subtitles during presentation of a media asset are disclosed. In an example, a media application stores a user profile including a language classification probability vector corresponding to the user profile. The media application generates for display a media asset via a user interface. The media application compares the language classification probability vector to audio of the media asset presented via the user interface, and in response to determining that the audio of the media asset is beyond a threshold distance from the language classification probability vector, activates subtitles for the media asset.

A method comprising:
- storing, in a user profile associated with a client device, a language classification probability vector (LCPV) corresponding to the user profile, the LCPV comprising a plurality of discrete values each corresponding to a language or an accent;
- generating for display a video conference via a user interface at the client device, wherein the video conference comprises a plurality of participants;
- and
- for a first participant of the plurality of participants in the video conference:
- identifying a first LCPV corresponding to the first participant;
- based at least in part on a comparison between the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant and the LCPV corresponding to the user profile, determining that the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant is beyond a threshold distance from the LCPV corresponding to the user profile;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant is beyond the threshold distance from the LCPV corresponding to the user profile, activating first subtitles for an audio portion corresponding to the first participant.
A system comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- store, in a user profile associated with a client device, a language classification probability vector (LCPV) corresponding to the user profile, the LCPV comprising a plurality of discrete values each corresponding to a language or an accent;
- generate for display a video conference via a user interface at the client device, wherein the video conference comprises a plurality of participants;
- and
- for a first participant of the plurality of participants in the video conference:
- identify a first LCPV corresponding to the first participant;
- based at least in part on a comparison between the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant and the LCPV corresponding to the user profile, determine that the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant is beyond a threshold distance from the LCPV corresponding to the user profile;
- based at least in part on determining that the first LCPV corresponding to the first participant is beyond the threshold distance from the LCPV corresponding to the user profile, activate first subtitles for an audio portion corresponding to the first participant;
- and
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- provide for display the first subtitles for the audio portion corresponding to the first participant at the user interface at the client device.
