The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying data format requirements for one or more machine-learning-based audio/video classifiers. The classifiers may be configured to detect classifiable features of decoded audio/video data. The method may also include decoding once, for the one or more classifiers, a video stream into audio/video data based on the identified data format requirements, and creating a new instance of each of the one or more classifiers. In addition, the method may include transforming the audio/video data for each instance based on the respective data format requirements and providing the respective transformed audio/video data to each instance. The method may also include performing, in parallel, classification of each transformed audio/video data by each respective instance and then terminating each instance of the one or more classifiers. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
