• Measurement of the emotion and mood of each scene or character with unprecedented accuracy and can recognize 65+ different mood Tags inside a single video file.
• 20+ Mood categories extracted by AI, allowing Plex to connect titles across different genres.
• Classification of each Mood Tag into a more general category so that content will be accurately categorized.
