| contents | Predicting online video popularity faces a critical challenge: prediction drift, where models trained on historical data rapidly degrade due to evolving viral trends and user behaviors. To address this temporal distribution shift, we propose an Anchored Multi-modal Clustering and Feature Generation (AMCFG) framework that discovers temporally-invariant patterns across data distributions. Our approach employs multi-modal clustering to reveal content structure, then leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate semantic Anchor Features, such as audience demographics, content themes, and engagement patterns that transcend superficial trend variations. These semantic anchors, combined with cluster-derived statistical features, enable prediction based on stable principles rather than ephemeral signals. Experiments demonstrate that AMCFG significantly enhances both predictive accuracy and temporal robustness, achieving superior performance on out-of-distribution data and providing a viable solution for real-world video popularity prediction. |
