System and method for enriching a concept database with homogenous concepts
First Claim
1. A method for enriching a concept database, comprising:
- determining, based on signatures of a first multimedia content element (MMCE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept, wherein each first concept matches at least a portion of the signatures of the first MMCE;
generating a reduced representation of the first MMCE, wherein the reduced representation excludes the signatures of the first MMCE that match the at least one first concept;
comparing the reduced representation to signatures representing a plurality of second MMCEs to select a first plurality of top matching second MMCEs;
generating, based on the reduced representation and the first plurality of top matching second MMCEs, at least one second concept;
determining, for each second concept, whether the second concept is a homogenous concept, wherein each homogenous concept uniquely represents the same content; and
adding each homogenous concept to the concept database; and
wherein each MMCE is at least one of;
an image, a graphic, a video stream, a video clip, a video frame, a photograph, and an image of signals;
wherein the image of signals is an image of any of medical signals, geophysical signals, subsonic signals, supersonic signals, electromagnetic signals, and infrared signals.

Abstract
A system and method for enriching a concept database with homogenous concepts. The method includes determining, based on signatures of a first multimedia content element (MMCE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept; generating a reduced representation of the first MMCE, wherein the reduced representation excludes the signatures of the first MMCE that match the at least one first concept; comparing the reduced representation to signatures representing a plurality of second MMCEs to select a first plurality of top matching second MMCEs; generating, based on the reduced representation and the first plurality of top matching second MMCEs, at least one second concept; determining, for each second concept, whether the second concept is a homogenous concept, wherein each homogenous concept uniquely represents the same content; and adding each homogenous concept to the concept database.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process for enriching a concept database, the process comprising:
-
determining, based on signatures of a first multimedia content element (MMCE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept, wherein each first concept matches at least a portion of the signatures of the first MMCE; generating a reduced representation of the first MMCE, wherein the reduced representation excludes the signatures of the first MMCE that match the at least one first concept; comparing the reduced representation to signatures representing a plurality of second MMCEs to select a first plurality of top matching second MMCEs; generating, based on the reduced representation and the first plurality of top matching second MMCEs, at least one second concept; determining, for each second concept, whether the second concept is a homogenous concept, wherein each homogenous concept uniquely represents the same content; and adding each homogenous concept to the concept database; and wherein each MMCE is at least one of;
an image, a graphic, a video stream, a video clip, a video frame, a photograph, and an image of signals;
wherein the image of signals is an image of any of medical signals, geophysical signals, subsonic signals, supersonic signals, electromagnetic signals, and infrared signals.

11. A system for enriching a concept database, comprising:
-
a processing circuitry; and a memory connected to the processing circuitry, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to; determine, based on signatures of a first multimedia content element (MMCE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept, wherein each first concept matches at least a portion of the signatures of the first MMCE; generate a reduced representation of the first MMCE, wherein the reduced representation excludes the signatures of the first MMCE that match the at least one first concept; compare the reduced representation to signatures representing a plurality of second MMCEs to select a first plurality of top matching second MMCEs; generate, based on the reduced representation and the first plurality of top matching second MMCEs, at least one second concept; determine, for each second concept, whether the second concept is a homogenous concept, wherein each homogenous concept uniquely represents the same content; and add each homogenous concept to the concept database; and wherein each MMCE is at least one of;
an image, a graphic, a video stream, a video clip, a video frame, a photograph, and an image of signals;
wherein the image of signals is an image of any of medical signals, geophysical signals, subsonic signals, supersonic signals, electromagnetic signals, and infrared signals. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
