Abstract:
1. A system for generating concept structures respective of a plurality of multimedia data elements (MMDEs), comprising: an attention processor (AP) for generating a plurality of items from a received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs and determining which of the generated items that are of interest for signature generation; a signature generator (SG) for generating at least a signature responsive to at least an item of interest of the received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs; a clustering processor (CP) for clustering a plurality of signatures received from the signature generator responsive of the plurality of MMDEs, and for creating a signature reduced cluster (SRC) of the cluster, wherein the clustering processor is further configured to generate a clustering score for each signature of an MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs versus all other MMDEs of the plurality of MMDEs; determine a size of a diagonal matrix having a size corresponding to the number of the plurality of MMDEs; place the clustering score in a diagonal matrix in storage, one clustering score for each pair of MMDEs; create a new cluster element for each two cluster elements in the diagonal matrix having a clustering score that exceeds a threshold; and repeat the process at the newly created cluster element level each time using the new cluster elements generated as the plurality of cluster elements for the subsequent sequence, until a single cluster is attained or it is determined that a single cluster cannot be reached; a concept generator (CG) for associating metadata with the SRC and matches the SRC with previously generated SRC such that SRCs that match form a concept structure comprised of a plurality of SRCs and their associated metadata; and a tangible memory coupled to at least one of the signature generator, a clustering processor, and a concept generator.
