Table 1: Genre field values

Content Genre Data Guidelines

This section provides guidelines for combining two genres to improve content classification accuracy and recommendation quality. All genre values must be selected from the "genres" field enums listed above.

  1. Single genre limitations vs. composite genre

    Type
    Genre
    Description
    Single genre

    Kids

    The scope of "Kids" content is too broad, making it difficult to identify specific characteristics.

    Composite genre

    Kids, Educational

    Clearly indicates the purpose and type as "educational programs for kids".

    Table 2: Single vs. composite genre
  2. Advantages of composite genres:

    • Accurate classification: Clearly reflects the content's subject, target audience, and mood.
      • Example: Kids, Animated → Children's animation
    • Enhanced personalized recommendations: Improves the accuracy of user preference analysis, enabling more tailored recommendations.
    • Improved search efficiency: Improves the exposure of relevant content when users search with specific keywords, such as "Educational."
  3. Genre combination guidelines:

    • Basic principle: Use the "primary genre + sub-genre" structure.

      • Primary genre: The main category of the content (such as Kids, Drama, Documentary)
      • Sub-genre: A sub-attribute of the primary genre (such as Educational, Animated, History)

      Table 3: Combination examples
    • Maintain consistency: Always use the same genre combination for the same type of content.
      For example: All children's animations → Kids, Animated

    • Avoid excessive combinations: Listing three or more genres increases complexity, so limit combinations to the two core genres.

  4. Incorrect vs. recommended examples:

    Incorrect
    Issue
    Recommended
    Kids

    Too vague

    Kids, Educational

    Animation

    Entertainment

    Genre scope too broad

    Kids, Entertainment

    Table 4: Recommendations
  5. Additional recommendations:

    • Use predefined genres: Use only the values in Table 1: Genre field values to ensure that all partners use the same terminology.
    • Exception handling: If no suitable genre combination exists, contact your Samsung representative instead of using a generic or unsupported value, such as "Other."
