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 operates 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, the citation of network of relationships identifies a citation of multimedia content by network locations, and where the citation of the multimedia content is determined based on detecting that the multimedia content is copied instead of linked from one network location to an other network location;
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.

7. A system, comprising:
-
one or more network devices, each having stored thereon a plurality of multimedia content; and one or more other network devices, each other network device operates to access at least some of the plurality of multimedia content, and to perform actions, comprising; performing a plurality of class-dependent search queries for multimedia content; receiving multimedia content results for each of the plurality of queries including content information about each of multimedia content results; employing the content information to identify a source for each of the multimedia content result; employing a weighted citation network of relationships based on the identified source for each multimedia content to identify authority scores for each source within the weighted citation network, where the citation of the multimedia content is determined based on detecting that the multimedia content is copied instead of linked from one network location to an other network location; receiving a class-dependent search-query for multimedia content; and employing the identified authority scores to rank order a display of a search-query result. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions when installed onto a computing device enable the computing device to perform actions, comprising:
-
performing a plurality of class-dependent search queries for multimedia content; receiving multimedia content results for each of the plurality of queries including content information about each of multimedia content results; employing the content information to identify a source for each of the multimedia content result; employing a weighted citation network of relationships based on the identified source for each multimedia content to identify authority scores for each source within the weighted citation network, the citation of network of relationships identifies a citation of multimedia content by network locations, and where the citation of the multimedia content is determined based on detecting that the multimedia content is copied instead of linked from one network location to an other network location; receiving a class-dependent search-query for multimedia content; and
employing the identified authority scores to rank order a display of a search-query result. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
