Automation of media content tag selection

Abstract:

A media content tagging system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a tag selector software code configured to receive media content having segments, each segment including multiple content elements each associated with metadata tags having respective pre-computed confidence scores. For each content element, the tag selector software code assigns each of the metadata tags to at least one tag group, determines a confidence score for each tag group based on the pre-computed confidence scores of its assigned metadata tags, discards tag groups having less than a minimum number of assigned metadata tags, and filters the reduced number of tag groups based on the second confidence score to identify a further reduced number of tag groups. The tag selector software code then selects at least one representative tag group for a segment from among the further reduced number of tag groups.
