Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
applying an embedding model to a plurality of faces included in a set of frames of video content for a media title to generate a plurality of face embeddings;
aggregating the plurality of face embeddings into a plurality of clusters representing a plurality of characters included in the media title, wherein each face embedding included in the plurality of face embeddings is associated with a face of a particular character included in the plurality of characters;
computing a plurality of prominence scores for the plurality of characters, wherein each prominence score is computed for a given character based on a number of face embeddings included in a cluster that corresponds to the given character and a total number of frames in the video content that include at least one face of a character included in the plurality of characters; and
selecting, from the set of frames, a frame of video content as representative of the media title based at least in part, on at least one prominence score for at least one character included in the frame.
