     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present application relates to the field of video distribution technologies and, in particular, to a video distribution timeliness determining method and an apparatus. 
     BACKGROUND 
     An information flow recommendation system is used to provide users with continuously updated media resources, in which videos account for a high proportion. Unlike active search for the videos, the videos recommended by the information flow recommendation system to the users are videos that would not make the user feel outdated. In other words, each of the videos should have a timeliness period that adaptive to its distribution, and the information flow recommendation system should stop distributing the corresponding video after the timeliness period.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     Exemplary embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present application to facilitate understanding, and these embodiments should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should realize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Likewise, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description. 
     Videos recommended by an information flow recommendation system to users should be videos that do not make the users feel outdated. In order to achieve this recommendation effect, in the prior art, timeliness of each video is labeled in a manually way, and the information flow recommendation system will further distribute the videos based on the timeliness that manually labeled. For example, a reviewer label the timeliness of a video as strong timeliness based on subjective experience, and the information flow recommendation system then distributes the video within a duration corresponding to the strong timeliness. 
     However, adopting the manual labeling method will have the following problems: it is seriously interfered by subjective factors, and different reviewers may have different labeling results for the same video, thus a labeling quality is unstable; it has a poor flexibility, and accessing of new video resource and changing of labeling standards requires retraining of the reviewer, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources; the magnitude of the video is huge, and the manual labeling method is very inefficient. 
     Taking into account the above technical problems in the prior art, the present application provides a method and a video distribution timeliness determining apparatus, and the timeliness determining apparatus can be integrated in the information flow recommendation system. After the video to be distributed is input into the apparatus, the apparatus can determine the timeliness of the video to be distributed by executing the video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present application, and transmit the timeliness to a module of the information flow recommendation system for distributing the video, and the module will complete the distribution of the video. The entire process does not require manual intervention, which could solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art. 
     A process of determining the timeliness of the video to be distributed by executing a timeliness determining method provided in the present application by the timeliness determining apparatus described above is introduced as follows: the timeliness determining apparatus parses to obtain video-related information of the video to be distributed after receiving the video to be distributed, such as title, author, speech, video, subtitles and so forth; since each of these video-related information may correspond to a period, thus multiple periods can be determined based on these video-related information, and then the period with a shortest duration thereof is taken as the timeliness period of the video to be distributed, finally, timeliness end time of the video to be distributed is determined by combining with initial time of the video to be distributed, and then the timeliness end time is transmitted to a video distributing module, so that the module can complete distribution of the video to be distributed before the timeliness end time. Compared with a manual labeling for the timeliness in the prior art, since the above method is executed by the apparatus and does not dependent on timeliness labeling experience of the reviewer, thus it is not interfered by subjective factors of the reviewer, and a labeling quality is stable, and there is no need to train the reviewer, which saves manpower and material resources and also improves a determining efficiency of video timeliness. 
     The implementation of the video distribution timeliness determining method provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. 
     Embodiment 1 
       FIG. 1  is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a video distribution timeliness determining method provided by the present application. The video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present embodiment can be executed by the timeliness determining apparatus described above. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present embodiment includes: 
     S 101 , parse a video to be distributed to obtain video-related information of the video to be distributed. 
     Optionally, the video-related information of the video to be distributed may include at least one of the following information: title, author, speech, video, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis. 
     In a possible implementation, after the user uploads the video to be distributed to the timeliness determining apparatus, the timeliness determining apparatus parses a file name of the video to be distributed to obtain the title and author of the video to be distributed, and parses the video to be distributed to obtain the speech, subtitles and video of the video to be distributed, where the parsed video can be the video to be distributed itself with speech and subtitles, or it can be a cartoon clip without speech and subtitles. On the basis of the parsed title, the title will be processed by Natural Language Processing (NLP) to obtain the title syntax analysis; and on the basis of the parsed video, characters in the video will be face-recognized to obtain the characters with the neural network. 
     Optionally, a file format corresponding to the title, author, characters and title syntax analysis is a text format, such as .txt, .doc, .docx, .wps and so forth. A file format corresponding to the speech is an audio format, such as: MP3, MIDI, WMA, VQF, AMR and so forth. A file format corresponding to the subtitles is a picture format, such as: bmp, jpg, png, tif, gif and so forth. A file format corresponding to the video is a video format, such as: wmv, asf, asx and so forth. 
     A prasing principle for parsing the video to obtain the above-mentioned various information can be referred to the prior art, which will not be repeated in the present application. 
     S 102 , determining a timeliness period of the video to be distributed according to the video-related information, where the timeliness period is used to indicate an effective duration corresponding to the video to be distributed. 
     In a possible implementation, one corresponding period can be determined according to each information of the title, author, speech, video, subtitles, characters, and title syntax analysis obtained by parsing in S 101 , and a period with a shortest duration can be taken as the timeliness period of the video to be distributed in S 102  after obtaining multiple periods. 
     Specifically, the period corresponding to each of the foregoing information can be determined through methods such as text classification, news recognition, keyword recognition and author recognition. 
     S 103 , determine timeliness end time of the video to be distributed according to initial time of the video to be distributed and the timeliness period. 
     It should be noted that the initial time in step S 103  can be obtained when parsing the video to be distributed, or it can be obtained by parsing to obtain the title, author, characters and other information, extracting a search keyword from these information, and searching the keyword in a search engine. 
     The following example illustrates: 
     Assuming that the initial time of the video to be distributed is Oct. 1, 2019, and the timeliness period of the video to be distributed is determined by S 102  to be 2 days, then the timeliness end time is the initial time plus 2 days, that is, Oct. 3, 2019. 
     In the video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present embodiment, after receiving the video to be distributed uploaded by the user, the video to be distributed is parsed to obtain the video-related information of the video to be distributed, and then the timeliness period of the video to be distributed can be determined based on the video-related information; finally, the timeliness end time of the video to be distributed is determined according to the initial time of the video to be distributed and the above timeliness period. Compared with the prior art, in which the timeliness is manually labeled, the above method is executed by the apparatus and does not dependent on the timeliness labeling experience of the reviewer, thus it is not interfered by the subjective factors of the reviewer, and a labeling quality is stable. In addition, there is no need to train the reviewer, which saves manpower and material resources, and also improves a determining efficiency of video timeliness. 
     Embodiment 2 
       FIG. 2  is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 2 of a video distribution timeliness determining method provided by the present application. As shown in  FIG. 2 , the video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present embodiment includes: 
     S 201 , parse a video to be distributed to obtain video-related information of the video to be distributed. 
     The video-related information mentioned above includes at least one of the following information: title, author, speech, video, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis. An implementation of S 201  can refer to Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated in the present application. 
     A process of determining a period corresponding to different video-related information is introduced below through steps S 202 -S 205 . 
     S 202 , determine a first period by performing text classification on the title. 
     Specifically, the title is firstly classified through a fast text classification model to obtain a text category corresponding to the title. Then, the first period is determined according to the text category corresponding to the title and a first mapping relationship, where the first mapping relationship represents a correspondence between a text category and a period. 
     The following is an example of the present implementation: 
       FIG. 3  is a schematic diagram of the first mapping relationship. As shown in  FIG. 3 , the text category may include, for example, emotion, military, politics, education, entertainment and so forth. After the title of the video to be distributed is obtained by parsing in S 201 , the title is input into the fast text classification model. Assuming that a text category output by the fast text classification model is entertainment, the first mapping relationship shown in  FIG. 3  matches entertainment with strong timeliness and the period of the strong timeliness is 3 days, and then the first period can be determined to be 3 days. 
     S 203 , determine a second period by performing news recognition on the above video. 
     Specifically, the video is firstly recognized through a neural network model to obtain a video type corresponding to the video. Then, the second period is determined according to the video type corresponding to the video and a second mapping relationship, where the second mapping relationship represents a correspondence between a video type and a period. 
     The following is an example of the present implementation: 
       FIG. 4  is a schematic diagram of the second mapping relationship. As shown in  FIG. 4 , the video types may include, for example, variety shows, news, weather forecasts, movies and TV series and so forth. After the video of the video to be distributed is obtained by parsing in S 201 , the video is input to the neural network model. Assuming that a video type output by the neural network model is the news, and the second mapping relationship shown in  FIG. 4  matches the news with strong timeliness, and the period of the strong timeliness is 2 days, then the second period can be determined to be 2 days. 
     S 204 , determine a third period by recognizing a keyword of at least one of the speech, the subtitles, the characters and the title syntax analysis. 
     It should be noted that: in the present implementation, the third period can be determined by recognizing a keyword of any of the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis for example, only a keyword of the speech is recognized to determine the third period. The third period can also be determined by recognizing keywords of any two or more of the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis, for example, the third period can be determined by recognizing keywords of all of the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis. Since different keywords correspond to different periods, multiple periods will be obtained when multiple keywords are recognized, and a period with a shortest duration among the multiple periods can be taken as the third period. 
     Specifically, the speech is convert into first text information firstly through speech recognition technology, the subtitles is convert into second text information through image text recognition technology, and then a keyword of at least one of the characters, the title syntax, the first text information and the second text information are recognized to obtain at least one keyword; then a period respectively corresponding to the at least one keyword is determined according to the recognized at least one keyword and the third mapping relationship, and a period with a shortest duration therein is determined as the third period. 
     The following is an example of the present implementation. 
       FIG. 5  is a schematic diagram of the third mapping relationship. As shown in  FIG. 5 , the keyword may include, for example, finance, automobile, food, game, Buffett, decline and so forth. After the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis of the video to be distributed are obtained by parsing in S 201 , the speech is converted into the first text information through the speech recognition technology, and the subtitles is converted into the second text information through the image text recognition technology. Assuming that a keyword recognized from the first text information is finance, a keyword recognized from the second text information is automobile, a keyword recognized from the characters is Buffett, and a keyword recognized from the title syntax analysis is decline. According to the third mapping relationship, it can be determined that periods corresponding to finance and decline are 2 days, and periods corresponding to automobile and Buffett are 3 days. Then, a period with a shortest duration can be determined as the third period, that is, 2 days. 
     It should be noted that: the above example uses keyword recognition for all of the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis is taken as an example to illustrate a determining process of the third period. As described above, one or more of them can also be selected to determine the third period, which will not be repeated in the present application. 
     S 205 , determine a fourth period according to the author. 
     Specifically, the fourth period is determined according to the author of the video to be distributed and a fourth mapping relationship, where the fourth mapping relationship represents a correspondence between an author and a period. 
     The following is an example of the present implementation: 
       FIG. 6  is a schematic diagram of the forth mapping relationship. As shown in  FIG. 6 , the author can include, for example, author A, author B, author C and author D. After the author of the video to be distributed is obtained after parsing in S 201 , it should firstly determine that whether the author is in the mapping relationship shown in  FIG. 6 , if yes, it continues to determine the corresponding period according to the mapping relationship shown in  FIG. 6 . Assuming that an author obtained by parsing the video to be distributed is author A, referring to  FIG. 6 , it can be determined that the period corresponding to author A is 2 days, then the fourth period is 2 days. 
     It should be noted that: timelessness involved in  FIG. 3  to  FIG. 6  refers to that there is no timeliness requirements for the video to be distributed and the video to be distributed can be distributed within any duration. 
     S 206 , determine a period with a shortest duration among the first period, the second period, the third period and the fourth period as the timeliness period of the video to be distributed. 
     Example is illustrated as follows: 
     Referring to the example above, the first period determined by performing the text classification on the title is 3 days; the second period determined by performing the news recognition on the video is 2 days; the third period determined by recognizing the keyword of at least one of the speech, subtitles, characters and title syntax analysis is 2 days; the fourth period determined according to the author is 2 days. In which, the shortest period is 2 days, and the timeliness period of the video to be distributed can be determined as 2 days. 
     S 207 , determine timeliness end time of the video to be distributed according to initial time of the video to be distributed and the timeliness period. 
     The implementation of S 207  can refer to S 103  of the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated in the present application. 
     The video distribution timeliness determining method provided in the present embodiment provides an achievable way to determine the corresponding period based on different video-related information. On the basis of determining multiple periods, the timeliness period of the video to be distributed is finally determined by referring to the multiple periods, which can solve a problem of a low accuracy caused by determining a final timeliness period in a single way.
