1. A method for rating items, comprising:
- selecting a critical notion of quality indicative of a quality of an item;
selecting a criterion of quality which determines a quality of an item, each item associated with a quality;
ranking a set of items by the associated quality of the item;
selecting a standard sample set from the ranked set of items, the standard sample set representing a range of quality;
determining a standard quality profile from the standard sample set and the rankings associated with each item;
selecting at least one proxy for the criterion of quality;
ranking the standard sample set by the proxy and determining a proxy quality profile for the proxy;
comparing a proxy quality profile with the standard quality profile;
selecting the proxy as a quality filter if the proxy quality profile matches the standard quality profile; and
applying, using a processor, the quality filter to unranked items and ranking the unranked items.

Abstract
A method and system of rating media content is provided. The method and system provide for a selection of a criterion of quality. A standard quality profile is then determined for the criterion of quality. A filter having a similar quality profile to the criterion of quality is chosen. Statistical analysis may be employed in determining the similarities between the standard quality profile and the filter to be chosen. This filter can be applied to an unknown media sample to produce a rating of the media sample. Filter monitoring may be performed on the filter by comparing the ratings of a media sample from the criterion of quality and the filter.
