1. A system for ranking events in media collections, comprising;
- a processor-accessible memory for storing a media collection; and
a processor for clustering the media collection items into a hierarchical event structure, for identifying and visually counting similar sub-events within each event in the hierarchical event structure, for determining a ranking of events based on the count of sub-events within each event, and for associating the determined ranking with each event in the media collection.

8. A system for selecting events from media collections, comprising;
-
a processor-accessible memory for storing a media collection; and a processor for clustering the media collection items into a hierarchical event structure, for identifying and visually counting similar sub-events within each event in the hierarchical event structure, for determining a ranked list of events based on the count of sub-events within each event, for calculating a target distribution based on the distribution of one or more event attributes of the events derived from the media collection, and for selecting events from the ranked list of events based on the calculated target distribution. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
