A method for automated routing of pictures taken on mobile electronic devices to a digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for parental controls and recommendations based on artificial intelligence. In use, using an artificial intelligence (AI) server, explicit input is received associated with a first presentation of media. Additionally, the AI server is trained based on the explicit input, and using the AI server, implicit filters are created based on the training. Further, using the AI server, the implicit filters are applied to a second presentation of the media.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) providing a plurality of media content groups, where each media content group includes a plurality of media content items, (2) providing a plurality of group indicators, where each group indicator corresponds with one of the media content groups, (3) providing a first navigational path linking the group indicators sequentially, (4) providing, for each media content group, a second navigational path linking the media content items of the corresponding media content group sequentially, (5) providing, for each media content group, a group entry point linking to one of the media content items of the corresponding media content group, and (6) presenting a graphical user interface that facilitates access to the media content items, and to the group indicators, using the first navigational path, the second navigational paths, and the group entry points. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for forming collaboration recommendations. Techniques for forming event-based recommendations use time-decayed event values. A shared content management system supports a plurality of users that generate events by interacting with content objects of the shared content management system. Events over the content objects are captured as event objects. Method steps are invoked upon receiving event objects that describes user-to-object interaction events that arise from interactions by users over content objects. Different types of interactions carry different importance values. The importance values can be applied as weights when scoring user-to-object interaction activities. The importance can decay over time. As time progresses and as the importance of older interactions decay, score components of a user-to-object interaction can be updated based at least in part on a time decay function. The system emits collaboration recommendations based on the decayed user-to-user collaboration scores.

Information retrieval methods employ a neural network encoder configured to receive a dense representation and generate a composite code comprising C clusters of dimension L from the dense representation. An activation function is configured to generate a sparse composite code from the composite code. The sparse composite code comprises a binary representation. An index can be generated using the sparse composite code.

The exemplary embodiments describe, inter alia, an apparatus comprising: a processor configured to (1) generate a plurality of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for interaction with a user to support configuration of a narrative story generator to automatically generate a narrative story based on input data, wherein at least one of the GUIs presents content blocks comprising a story outline in a hierarchical structure, (2) evaluate configuration elements of the narrative story generated using imported sample data, and (3) generate narrative stories based on the configuration of the narrative story generator and the input data.

According to some aspects, disclosed methods and systems may include determining, by a device and based on historical data associated with a first user, a first user profile comprising one or more content recommendation periods each associated with a time period and a content classification, and in response to detecting a user interaction, selecting a first content recommendation period of the one or more content recommendation periods. The methods and system may also include determining one or more content candidates corresponding to the content classification from a plurality of content assets based on an amount of remaining time in the time period associated with the first content recommendation period and a correlation between the historical data associated with the first user and one or more contextual features associated with the plurality of content assets, and transmitting, to a client device, an indication of the one or more content candidates.
