Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems comprise an integrated detection unit configured to record media content, identify preferred content, and communicate the identifications of preferred content for storage in a computationally efficient manner.
