Abstract

Self-learning systems process incoming data from sources such broadcast, cable, or IP-driven television and can discover topics that broadly describe the incoming data in real-time. These topics can be used to gather and store metadata from various metadata sources such as social networks. Using the metadata, content delivery systems working in parallel with the self-learning systems can deliver highly contextualized supplementary content to client applications, such as mobile devices used as “second screen” devices.
