VIDEO CONTENT ANALYSIS FOR AUTOMATIC DEMOGRAPHICS RECOGNITION OF USERS AND VIDEOS

A demographics analysis trains classifier models for predicting demographic attribute values of videos and users not already having known demographics.In one embodiment, the demographics analysis system trains classifier models for predicting demographics of videos using video features such as demographics of video uploaders, textual metadata, and/or audiovisual content of videos.In one embodiment, the demographics analysis system trains classifier models for predicting demographics of users (e.g., anonymous users) using user features based on prior video viewing periods of users. For example, viewing-period based user features can include individual viewing period statistics such as total videos viewed. Further, the viewing-period based features can include distributions of values over the viewing period, such as distributions in demographic attribute values of video uploaders, and/or distributions of viewings over hours of the day, days of the week, and the like.
