First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining filters for filtering content;
computing, for each of the filters, cost data for executing the filtering of the content;
determining, for each of the filters, an elimination rate for the filtering of the content; and
determining a sequence of the filters based on the computed cost data and the elimination rates for minimizing a total execution cost of the sequenced filters.

Abstract
An approach is provided for optimizing a sequence of content filters or data screening tasks. A determination is made of filters for filtering content. For each of the filters, cost data for executing the filtering of the content is computed. A sequence of the filters is determined based on the computed cost data and the elimination rates for minimizing a total execution cost of the sequenced filters.
