About the team
Our mission is to generate new and enrich existing metadata to power trust & safety, search, discovery, and playback experiences for customers worldwide.

To accomplish this mission, MetaGEN works closely with engineering and science to generate and interconnect scene level information (e.g., emotion, object, place) in a Semantic Knowledge Graph, and use graph reasoning and big-data techniques to mine: (a) time-coded metadata (e.g., scene changes , music, intros, recap, end credits), (b) title level metadata (e.g., mood, topic, synopsis), and (c) content relationship metadata (e.g., Title Similarity Rankings) at scale and high accuracy. MetaGEN works through partner organizations (e.g., Trust & Safety, PV Search, Playback, Ads) to influence Title Discovery, Engagement, Reach, and accuracy for Ad Cue Points.
