AIVON

Artificial Intelligence Video Open Network

AIVON is a decentralized blockchain platform and protocol built on an Artificial Intelligence (AI) network and a community of human experts working together to generate normalized and enhanced metadata for video content.

About AIVON

Artificial Intelligence Video Open Network (AIVON) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain protocol and ecosystem built on a consensus network of Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing resources and a community of human experts, used to generate normalized and enhanced metadata for video content. Developers can build Decentralized Applications (DApps) on top of the AIVON protocol. Platform participants can either run AI nodes or provide expertise and be rewarded with AVO Tokens.

AI Computer Vision algorithms running on nodes using CPU/GPU resources will be used to scan media files, generate enhanced metadata including time-coded tags, classification, categories, transcripts and translations, and an index of the video objects. Humans with

expertise in tagging, editing and translation can participate in the AIVON shared economy to help with the verification, validation and/or creation of video metadata. AI Machine Learning algorithms will continually learn from the actions of AIVON community to become

better and smarter. AIVON will empower the community with tools to enable the community to moderate, review, verify the meta-tags, categorize, transcribe and/or translate content, as well as provide economic incentives to encourage this activity through AVO Tokens.

Industry Problems

ONLINE VIDEO IS GLOBAL BUT LOCALIZATION IS BIG ISSUE

Online video is global but localization is big issue- Another challenging problem within the video industry is that least 80% of content on the Internet is accessible in only one of 10 top languages. Most videos on the internet are only accessible in a single

language, usually English. It means that video distribution is limited and much of the world is out of reach for content producers regardless of whether their videos are accessible through search engines and video platforms.

VIDEO CONTENT LACKS RICH AND NORMALIZED META DATA

Video Content lacks rich and normalized meta data- Metadata must also be normalized and standardized if it is to be used for better search and discovery. If the metadata isn’t normalized and standardized, such as when multiple uploaders upload the same

video to YouTube with different descriptions, you would get different metadata based on who is uploading it. Because humans are biased with their own perspectives, each human looking at the same video will come up with different metadata information and tags for that video.

ENSURING CONTENT SAFETY FOR BRANDS AND VIEWERS

Ensuring content safety for brands and viewers – One of the most challenging problems in the video industry is to ensure video content are safe for our children to watch and for brands to advertise on through access to metadata. Due to the number of online videos viewed daily especially by kids, the importance of video safety is becoming more and more important.

Our Solution

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Specialized AI algorithms will be deployed on mining nodes, so that miners’ CPU and GPU resources can be used to scan media files, generate the enhanced metadata including time-coded tags, classification, categories, transcripts and translations, and an index of the video objects.

CONTENTGRAPH

AIVON platform will use AI to define a confidence score for each of several content safety attributes, such as: nudity, adult, offensive language, hate speech, violence, guns, alcohol etc. These confidence scores will be combined into a vector called a ContentGraphTM which can be visualized as a bar graph.

HUMAN EXPERT

AIVON uses a network of freelancers with skills in tagging, metadata management, transcribing and translation. AIVON will empower its community with tools which enable individuals to review, verify and correct the AI-derived metadata, including the categorizations, transcriptions and translations.

USE CASES

While the AVO tokes are made by AI and Human professional miners, there’re several possible downstream business or utility use cases of the tokens because IVS already has a worldwide network of content marketers, producers, publishers, and advertisers.Instances of AVO Token Use Cases
