Jinni Semantic Taste Discovery
The Semantic Discovery Engine and Entertainment Genome, a rich set of
more than 2,000 tags to describe the mood, plot and style of any title, was
developed specifically for discovery of video content. The Jinni engine
enables a variety of meaning-based discovery features to help users find
what to watch on any screen, any time. Jinni's Entertainment Genome enables
exceptionally intuitive, explainable and holistic video discovery to power
any screen with a suite of features for the next generation of digital home
entertainment guides.
Jinni offers unique features, such as:
- Mood-based Discovery - Search or browse within intuitive
categories like mood, plot and style to choose content in a large
catalog with fewer clicks. For example, just two clicks on 'witty', then
'sibling relationships' gets results http://www.jinni.com/s/Lla8
- Taste-based Recommendations - Highly personalized
recommendations extracted from distinct groups of semantic genes that
characterize a user's various tastes. For example, a user may enjoy
'Suspenseful, stylized, rough stories about gangsters, cons and scams
and heists'
- Explainability - Complete transparency builds user trust, so
natural language explanations of why each title is recommended are
provided
- Similar Titles/Content Recommendations - Easy, intuitive way to
find more shows or movies that are truly similar based on comparison of
semantic attributes
- Effective Social Discovery - Cuts through the buzz to find
friends as well as other users with similar taste that can be trusted
sources of social recommendations
"Microsoft's choice to license the Jinni video discovery solution
further validates our unique semantic technology and holistic approach to
entertainment discovery," said Yosi Glick, CEO and Co-founder of Jinni
[http://www.jinni.com ]. "At Jinni [http://www.jinni.com ] we believe
finding digital entertainment should be as natural and enjoyable as
consuming it. Our technology can power a wide variety of intuitive discovery
tools, including; semantic search, personalized recommendations, and
mood-based discovery features for a fun way to find movies and TV."

About Jinni Media, Ltd
Jinni is the first and only taste-and-mood based engine powering video
discovery. Using content genetics and nuanced understanding of user tastes,
the Jinni engine powers a uniquely intuitive, personalized experience that
increases content consumption and reduces churn. The Jinni service is
powered by the Entertainment Genome, containing thousands of genes that are
assigned to each title to describe mood, style, plot, setting and more - a
rich alternative to the usual genre language. New titles are automatically
indexed via analysis of user reviews and synopses, using a proprietary
Natural Language Processing solution.
Jinni's content discovery solution was voted "Best Product Idea" at
CableLabs last year. Jinni is a Webby Awards honoree, a Red Herring 100
Europe winner, an OnHollywood 100 winner, a SXSW Web Awards nominee, a
TechCrunch Europas nominee and was selected as the best movie recommendation
engine by CNET and Lifehacker. To see our award winning engine at work,
