IDENTIFYING RELIABLE AND AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT
First Claim
1. A network device, comprising:
- a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and
a processor that is operative on the received data to perform actions, including;
receiving a plurality of multimedia content including information about the content for each of the plurality of multimedia content;
employing the information about the content to identify a source for each of the multimedia content;
employing a weighted citation network of relationships based on the identified source for each multimedia content to identify authority scores for each source of the multimedia contents;
receiving a class-dependent search-query for other multimedia content; and
employing the identified authority scores to rank order a display of a search-query result to the class-dependent search-query.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards identifying authoritative sources of multimedia content useable in rank ordering class-dependent search-query results of multimedia content. In one embodiment, a citation model is employed for measuring or otherwise determining a strength of an authority to a content source. In one embodiment, a directed graph is constructed over a network of sources based on a propensity of one source to “cite” content provided by another source. In one embodiment, a random walk may be conducted across the network of sources to arrive at authority scores for each source in the network. In another embodiment, a machine-learning algorithm may be used to arrive at authority scores. The authority scores may then be applied for ranking, for example, search-query results, and/or retrieval purposes.
