Netflix has developed and implemented multimodal embeddings to enhance its content personalization systems. By leveraging models like CLIP for image embeddings and a tri-modal foundation model called MediaFM (which fuses visual, audio, and text signals), Netflix has improved its ability to personalize artwork and video previews. This approach has led to better cold-start performance, query-aware search, and superior video preview recommendations, outperforming previous single-modality models in both offline and online tests. The company also established an offline proxy task to accelerate experimentation and productization of these embedding models. AI
IMPACT Enhances content discovery and personalization in streaming services, potentially setting new industry standards for media asset optimization.
