Idea
A real-time video rating prediction platform using hybrid AI models to help streaming services automate content compliance.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a hybrid architecture combining CNNs, LSTMs, and Bahdanau attention with contrastive learning to enhance feature discrimination for MPAA rating prediction. It achieves high accuracy in distinguishing fine-grained rating differences, especially for borderline cases. The approach improves generalization over prior single-model or non-attentive methods.
Market Size (TAM)
$2–10B TAM, $1–2B SAM; assumption: growing streaming content volume and regulatory compliance needs drive demand for automated rating tools.

Research Paper Overview
Video-Based MPAA Rating Prediction: An Attention-Driven Hybrid Architecture Using Contrastive Learning
Summary
The paper presents a hybrid model combining CNNs, LSTMs, and Bahdanau attention to predict MPAA video ratings (G, PG, PG-13, R) with high accuracy. It leverages contrastive learning frameworks to improve feature discrimination and generalization, achieving 88% accuracy and an F1 score of 0.8815. The model excels at fine-grained distinctions between borderline ratings and is deployed as a real-time web application for automated content compliance across streaming platforms.
