Abstract:
1. A method for detecting predetermined content in a media information stream, comprising: receiving an algorithm for detecting predetermined content in the media information stream, the algorithm being a function of a set of parameters; performing the algorithm at least once to detect the predetermined content in the media information stream, while employing a respective set of parameters in the algorithm for each performance thereof; automatically evolving at least one respective set of parameters employed in the algorithm to maximize the degree of accuracy at which the algorithm detects the predetermined content in the media information stream; repeating the performing and evolving step until the at least one respective set of parameters employed in the algorithm is optimized; and implementing in a machine the algorithm with at least one respective set of the optimized parameters to detect predetermined content in the media information stream.
