The present application describes various methods and devices for providing content to users. In one aspect, a method includes, for each content item of a set of content items, obtaining a score for the content item using a recommender system, the score corresponding to a calculation of subsequent repeated engagement by a user with the content item. The method also includes ranking the set of content items based on the respective scores and providing recommendation information to the user for one or more highest ranked content items in the set of content items.
Contrastive learning is used to learn an alternative embedding. A subtree replacement strategy generates structurally similar pairs of samples from an input space for use in contrastive learning. The resulting embedding captures more of the structural proximity relationships of the input space and improves Bayesian optimization performance when applied to tasks such as fitting and optimization.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INTERACTIVE QUEUING FOR SHARED LISTENING SESSIONS
An electronic device generates a respective user queue for each user of a plurality of users participating in a shared listening session. While providing a first media content item for playback, the device receives a second request, from a first user, to add a second media content item to the shared playback queue and updates the respective user queue for the first user. After receiving the second request, the electronic device receives a third request, from a second user, to add a third media content item to the shared playback queue and updates the respective user queue for the second user. The electronic device updates the shared playback queue using the respective user queues of the first user and the second user, including positioning the third media content item in an order of the shared playback queue to be played back before the second media content item.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING PERSONALIZED POOLS OF CANDIDATE MEDIA ITEMS
An electronic device stores, for a user of a media-providing service, a playback history that includes information about media items that have previously been consumed by the user. The electronic device receives a request to search for media content including search criteria. In response to the request, and without additional user intervention, the electronic device generates a vector representation of the user using media items from the playback history of the user that are relevant to the search criteria. The electronic device identifies one or more media content items from a media content library that match the vector representation of the user and the search criteria and provides, to the user, the one or more media content items.
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for content generation. A distribution of policies is defined based on an action space. Distribution parameters are received from a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm. In turn, a policy is randomly sampled from the distribution of policies. A candidate content item is generated using the sampled policy. A quality of the candidate content item is measured based on a predefined quality criteria and a parameter model is adjusted as specified by the reinforcement learning algorithm to obtain a plurality of updated distribution parameters. Environment settings are passed to a trained parameter model to obtain a plurality of policy distribution parameters. A predetermined number of policies from the distribution of policies are then sampled and the plurality of environment settings are passed to the predetermined number of sampled policies to obtain at least one content item.
A media content item recommendation system recommends media content items based on one or more attributes of a seed playlist. The recommended media content items can be determined from a plurality of existing playlists that have been created over a period of time. Such existing playlists can be selected based on similarity to the seed playlist.
A cuepoint determination system utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) to determine cuepoint placements within media content items to facilitate smooth transitions between them. For example, audio content from a media content item is normalized to a plurality of beats, the beats are partitioned into temporal sections, and acoustic feature groups are extracted from each beat in one or more of the temporal sections. The acoustic feature groups include at least downbeat confidence, position in bar, peak loudness, timbre and pitch. The extracted acoustic feature groups for each beat are provided as input to the CNN on a per temporal section basis to predict whether a beat immediately following the temporal section within the media content item is a candidate for cuepoint placement. A cuepoint placement is then determined from among the candidate cuepoint placements predicted by the CNN.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEQUENCING A PLAYLIST OF MEDIA ITEMS
A server system receives a request to generate a playlist. The playlist includes a sequence of media items. The server system receives a plurality of constraints that define disqualification criteria for excluding media items from a respective slot in the sequence of media items. The plurality of constraints for the respective slot in the sequence of media items includes at least one constraint that is based on already-populated slots in the sequence of media items. The server system generates the playlist by sequentially populating each respective slot in the sequence of media items, including selecting, for the respective slot, a respective media item that meets the plurality of constraints for the respective slot in the sequence of media items. The server system provides the playlist to a user of the media providing service.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING DESCRIPTORS FOR MEDIA CONTENT ITEMS
An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text generated by one or more users of the media-providing service. Based on how frequently a first media content item co-occurs with a first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item, the electronic device generates, without user input, a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item. The electronic device presents the new collection of media content items to the first user as a recommendation.

Technology for generating, reading, and using machine-readable codes is disclosed. There is a method, performed by an image capture device, for reading and using the codes. The method includes obtaining an image, identifying an area in the image having a machine-readable code. The method also includes, within the image area, finding a predefined start marker defining a start point and a predefined stop marker defining a stop point, an axis being defined there between. A plurality of axis points can be defined along the axis. For each axis point, a first distance within the image area to a mark is determined. The distance can be measured from the axis point in a first direction which is orthogonal to the axis. The first distances can be converted to a binary code using Gray code such that each first distance encodes at least one bit of data in the code.
