Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying associated video content, comprising: decomposing first and second elements of video content into corresponding first and second segments; computing measures of similarity between candidate pairs of the first and second video segments; determining, using at least one processor, that the similarity measures corresponding to a subset of the candidate pairs satisfy at least one association rule; for a plurality of the candidate pairs of the subset, determining, using the processor, that corresponding ones of the first segments are disposed adjacently within the first video content element, and that corresponding ones of the second segments are disposed adjacently within the second video content element; merging, using the at least one processor, (i) the corresponding first segments to generate a merged first segment and (ii) the corresponding second segments to generate a merged second segment, the merged first and second segments establishing a merged pair of first and second segments; and generating a value indicative of an association between the merged pair of first and second segments, wherein computing measures of similarity comprises:
