MODIFYING TRAINING DATA FOR VIDEO RESPONSE QUALITY OPTIMIZATION

Abstract:

Techniques for modifying training data for video response quality optimization are provided. In one technique, training data is identified that is generated based on video presentation data that indicates multiple video items were presented to multiple entities. The training data comprises multiple training instances, each indicating a presentation of at least a portion of a video item to an entity. For each training instance in a subset of the training instances, a quality metric of the presentation of the video item indicated in said each training instance is computed and that training instance is modified based on the quality metric. After modifying one or more of the training instances, the model is trained using one or more machine learning techniques. In response to a content request, the model is used to determine whether to transmit a particular video item over a network to a computing device of a particular entity.
