An apparatus for determining likelihood that a candidate commercial boundary is a commercial boundary comprises a boundary classifier. A boundary classifier determines whether a candidate video frame comprises product information, and determines a likelihood the candidate commercial boundary is a commercial boundary in dependence of a determination the candidate video frame comprises product information. Another apparatus for classifying a commercial video broadcast comprises a proxy document identifier to identify a proxy of a commercial video broadcast. The apparatus also includes a training module for compiling training data from a corpus of training documents and a classifier module, trained by the training data, to classify the commercial video broadcast from an examination of data from the proxy document. |
