Manifest Manipulation and Playlisting for Video: How Ads and Personalized Viewing are Changing Video Delivery (Room 221-222)

Meanwhile, and as user-created profiles for video consumption gain popularity, playlist techniques are again in vogue. The second part of this session, presented by Liberty Global and VionLabs, illustrates a Spotify-like technique, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, and designed to playlist “similar content” for TV.
