Abstract
Content sharing platforms can provide a playback speed setting that remains static across different types of media. This limitation requires manual adjustment when a user switches between content categories, such as educational tutorials, podcasts, or music. This disclosure provides a mechanism for dynamically adjusting playback speed based on content classification and historical user preferences. Content can be categorized using classification systems and generative summaries to determine its nature and flow. An initial playback speed can be determined by analyzing average speeds for similar content across the content sharing platform. This speed can then be personalized by incorporating the specific user’s historical consumption patterns for that content type. Furthermore, the speed can be adjusted intra-video to account for varying segments, such as demonstrations or explanations. This technology discussed in this disclosure can facilitate a more intuitive consumption experience by automatically aligning playback speed with content intent and user behavior.
