1. A method for detecting a commercial in a set of audiovisual content spanning a duration of time, the method comprising: selecting a first candidate time identified within the duration of time spanned by the set of audiovisual content, wherein the first candidate time is identified based on the detection of one or more predetermined cues, and wherein the candidate time represents a possible boundary time of a commercial; assigning a score to the first candidate time based on one or more predetermined cues; and analyzing the first candidate time to determine a likelihood that the first candidate time is a commercial boundary time, wherein the analysis is performed by processing circuitry and is based at least in part on an evaluation of one or more characteristics of audiovisual content occurring after the first candidate time and associated probabilities, and wherein the score of the first candidate time is adjusted based on the evaluated characteristics.
