Abstract

Systems and methods for learning-based automatic commercial content detection are described. In one aspect, program data is divided into multiple segments. The segments are analyzed to determine visual, audio, and context-based feature sets that differentiate commercial content from non-commercial content. The context-based features are a function of single-side left and/or right neighborhoods of segments of the multiple segments.
