Systems and methods for generating consumption probability metrics
A consumption probability metric may be generated for a media asset. An aggregated forecast predicting user consumption of a media asset is received. A plurality of probabilities, each corresponding to a user of a plurality of users, is received, each indicating how likely a respective user is to consume the media asset. A weight for the plurality of users is calculated representing a ratio of the total number of users to a number of users in the plurality of users. A disaggregated forecast predicting user consumption of a media asset is determined based on the weight for the plurality of users and the plurality of probabilities. A modification factor is computed based on the aggregated forecast and the disaggregated forecast. A metric is generated that includes a plurality of user identifiers associated with the plurality of users and a plurality of modified probabilities each modified by the modification factor.
RADIO GENRE ENHANCEMENT USING CROWD-SOURCED LISTENER DATA
A memory is configured to store listener data indicative of radio stations listened to by a plurality of listeners and genre classifications of the radio stations. A processor is programmed to combine a plurality of the genre classifications into a single combined genre classification responsive to listener behavior across the plurality of listeners indicating overlap in listening to the plurality of the genre classifications; separate one of the genre classifications into a plurality of separated genre classifications responsive to listener behavior across the plurality of listeners indicating disparate subsets of radio stations within the one of the genre classifications; and reclassify the radio stations according to the genre classifications as updated.

Systems and methods for automatically tuning a radio system to a preferred channel
Computing devices are disclosed. For example, a computing device includes one or more processors and one or more databases. The computing device includes one or more non-transitory memory modules storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to: receive a plurality of event flags, wherein each event flag of the plurality of event flags is associated with a respective broadcasted audio signal of a plurality of broadcasted audio signals; compare the plurality of event flags to a user profile stored within the one or more databases, wherein the user profile comprises preference characteristics associated with a user; determine whether one or more event flags matches a set of preference characteristics of the user profile; and transmit a notification signal to a vehicle in response to the one or more event flags matching the set of preference characteristics of the user profile.
System and method for identifying the context of multimedia content elements displayed in a web-page and providing contextual filters respective thereto
A method and system for providing contextual filters respective of an identified context of a plurality of multimedia content elements are provided. The method comprises receiving the plurality of multimedia content elements; generating at least one signature for each of the plurality of multimedia content elements; determining a context of each of the plurality of multimedia content elements based on its respective at least one signature, wherein a context is determined as the correlation among a plurality of cluster of signatures; and providing at least one contextual filter respective of the context of each of the plurality of multimedia content elements.

Modifying playback of content using pre-processed profile information
Example methods and systems for modifying the playback of content using pre-processed profile information are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may access a stream of content to be delivered to a playback device, identify a piece of content within the stream of content to be delivered to the playback device, determine a profile for the identified piece of content, and deliver the determined profile to the playback device. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may receive a stream of content at a playback device, access profile information associated with the stream of content, and modify playback of the stream of content based on the accessed profile information.

Redirecting blocked media content
A method includes determining, using a processor system, that a portion of media content is objectionable to an audience based at least on a comparison between an identified aspect of the portion of media content and a first set of preferences associated with the audience. The first set of preferences defines a type of media content corresponding to the portion of media content as being objectionable to the audience. The audience is associated with a primary viewing device. The method also includes determining that the portion of media content is not objectionable to a member of the audience based at least on a second set of preferences. The second set of preferences defines the type of media content corresponding to the portion of media content as not being objectionable to the member. The method can transmit the portion of the media content to a secondary display device of the member.
SCHEDULING MULTIMEDIA FOR DISTRIBUTION WITH CONFLICT RESOLUTION
A method for a data processing system includes retrieving a first set of multimedia content identifiers having a first sequential order and a first category, retrieving a second set of multimedia content identifiers having a second sequential order and a second category and combining the first and second set of the multimedia content identifiers to produce a chronological scheduling order. The method continues with the data processing system determining whether one or more conflicts exist in the chronological scheduling order and based on a determination that one or more conflicts exist, exchanging a slot position of either of the one of the first set and the one of the second set with another corresponding one of either of the first set and the second set of the multimedia content identifiers based upon a predetermined number of slot value to resolve the conflict and to modify the chronological scheduling order.
