Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating content based on matching mappings by implementing deconstruction and reconstruction techniques. The system may retrieve a first content structure that includes a first object with a first mapping that includes a first list of attribute values. The system may then search content structures for a matching content structure having a second object with a second list of attributes and a second mapping including second attribute values corresponding to the second list of attributes. Upon finding a match, the system may generate a new content structure having the first object from the first content structure with the second mapping from the matching content structure. The system may then generate for output a new content segment based on the newly generated content structure.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

identifying, in a first video content portion, a first character performing a first movement;

accessing a first content structure comprising a first temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of a first plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of first attribute values corresponding to the first movement in the first video content portion;

accessing a second content structure corresponding to a video content depicting a second character performing a second movement, wherein the second content structure comprises a second temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of a second plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of second attribute values corresponding to the second movement, wherein the second temporal mapping matches the first temporal mapping; and

generating, based on the first content structure and the second content structure, a second video content portion depicting the first character performing the second movement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating, based on the first content structure and the second content structure, the second video content portion comprises:

generating a third temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of the first plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of the second attribute values.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a first mapping fingerprint based on the first content structure;

generating a second mapping fingerprint based on the second content structure; and

comparing the first mapping fingerprint and the second mapping fingerprint.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein generating the first mapping fingerprint comprises:

providing a training dataset to train a neural network, wherein the training dataset comprises a set of mappings and respective action keywords;

modifying the parameters of the training dataset based on a match between an output generated by the neural network when a mapping from the training dataset is inputted into the neural network and the action keyword of the inputted mapping; and

using the trained neural network to generate an action keyword based on inputting a mapping of the first movement.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein accessing the second content structure comprises searching a content database for the second content structure based on the generated action keyword.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein searching the content database for the second content structure based on the generated action keyword comprises searching for a mapping associated with the generated action keyword.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing the second content structure corresponding to the video content depicting the second character performing the second movement comprises:

generating for display a graphical user interface comprising one or more visual representations of the second character performing the second movement; and

receiving a selection via the graphical user interface.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein an attribute of the first plurality of attributes is a vectorized representation of the first character.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second movement comprises a sequence of actions, and wherein the second video content portion depicts the first character performing the sequence of actions based on the temporal mapping.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing to be displayed the second video content portion.

11. A system comprising:

one or more input/output (I/O) paths configured to provide content; and

control circuitry configured to:

identify, in a first video content portion, a first character performing a first movement;

access a first content structure comprising a first temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of a first plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of first attribute values corresponding to the first movement in the first video content portion;

access, via the one or more I/O paths, a second content structure corresponding to a video content depicting a second character performing a second movement, wherein the second content structure comprises a second temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of a second plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of second attribute values corresponding to the second movement, wherein the second temporal mapping matches the first temporal mapping; and

generate, based on the first content structure and the second content structure, a second video content portion depicting the first character performing the second movement.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when generating the second video content portion, is configured to:

generate a third temporal mapping that indicates times when each attribute of the first plurality of attributes is mapped to an attribute value of the second attribute values.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

generate a first mapping fingerprint based on the first content structure;

generate a second mapping fingerprint based on the second content structure; and

compare the first mapping fingerprint and the second mapping fingerprint.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry, when generating the first mapping fingerprint, is configured to:

provide a training dataset to train a neural network, wherein the training dataset comprises a set of mappings and respective action keywords;

modify the parameters of the training dataset based on a match between an output generated by the neural network when a mapping from the training dataset is inputted into the neural network and the action keyword of the inputted mapping; and

use the trained neural network to generate an action keyword based on inputting a mapping of the first movement.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when accessing the second content structure, is configured to search a content database for the second content structure based on the generated action keyword.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the control circuitry, when searching the content database for the second content structure based on the generated action keyword, is configured to search for a mapping associated with the generated action keyword.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when accessing the second content structure corresponding to the video content depicting the second character performing the second movement, is configured to:

generate for display a graphical user interface comprising one or more visual representations of the second character performing the second movement; and

receive a selection via the graphical user interface.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein an attribute of the first plurality of attributes is a vectorized representation of the first character.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second movement comprises a sequence of actions, and wherein the second video content portion depicts the first character performing the sequence of actions based on the temporal mapping.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

cause to be displayed the second video content portion.
