9. A method for channel layout evaluation, comprising:
receiving a request to perform channel layout evaluation on a media item comprising a provided set of channels;
performing metadata extraction on the media item to generate a metadata representation of the media item and to identify at least one channel layout discrepancy of the provided set of channels;
performing layout detection using the metadata representation by:
executing, by a computer processor, a similarity model configured to generate a mix group comprising at least a subset of the provided set of channels, wherein the similarity model utilizes event detection, dialog analysis, and audio configuration analysis to generate the mix group;
annotating a primary language of the mix group by aggregating a set of language inferences of the metadata representation corresponding to channels in the mix group; and
annotating a service type of the mix group based on the subset of the provided set of channels, the primary language annotation, and comparison with at least one other mix group of the media item; and
updating the metadata representation with the annotated mix group, wherein the updated metadata representation is provided for streaming the media item using channels of the mix group based on selection of the service type.
